LASER SAFETY INTRODUCTION
Laser Safety
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this guide may result in
hazardous light exposure.
This equipment complies with international safety standards and is classified as a Class 1 Laser Product.
With specific reference to lasers, the equipment complies with laser product performance standards set by governmental,
national, and international agencies as a Class 1 Laser Product. It does not emit hazardous light, as the beam is totally
enclosed during all phases of customer operation and maintenance.
NOTE: Your Xerox machine is equipped with an energy saving device to conserve power when the machine is not in use. The
machine may be left on continuously.
WARNING: The metallic surfaces in the fuser area may be hot. Please use caution when removing paper jams from this area and
avoid touching any metallic surfaces.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS 3. Remove the jammed paper by gently pulling it straight out.
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.
When a paper jam occurs, refer to the next guidelines.
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See
"Loading paper in the tray" on page 34.)
• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper
capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print media.
• Ensure that the recommended side of the print media is facing down in
the tray, or facing up in the manual tray.
If the paper does not move when you pull, or if you do not see the paper

TIFF
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a variable-resolution bitmapped
image format. TIFF describes image data that typically come from
scanners. TIFF images make use of tags, keywords defining the
characteristics of the image that is included in the file. This flexible and
platform-independent format can be used for pictures that have been
made by various image processing applications.
Toner Cartridge
A kind of bottle within a machine like printer which contains toner. Toner
is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers, which forms the text
and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of the
fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.
UNC Path
Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) is a standard way to access network
shares in Window NT and other Microsoft products. The format of a
UNC path is: \\<servername>\<sharename>\<Additional directory>
URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents
and resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates
what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the
domain name where the resource is located.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the
USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals.
Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a
single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
Watermark
A watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears
lighter when viewed by transmitted light. Watermarks were first
introduced in Bologna, Italy in 1282; they have been used by
papermakers to identify their product, and also on postage stamps,
currency, and other government documents to discourage
counterfeiting.
