101APPENDIX CSAFETY INFORMATIONThis chapter provides safety information and productspecifications for the SuperScript 4600N printer. As youoperate your printer, please be aware of the following safetyconsiderations.Ozone EmissionThe corona assemblies found in laser printers andphotocopiers generate ozone gas (O3) as a by-product of theelectrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated whilethe printer is printing (while the coronas are energized).UL Standards for OzoneThe only existing standard for ozone emissions has beenestablished by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). AllSuperScript family printers meet this standard when shippedfrom the factory to our customers.Employer ResponsibilitiesBecause ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencieshave established limits to the amount of ozone to whichemployees may be exposed. The employer is responsible forproviding a safe work environment that meets the agencies’standards.Recommendations for Minimizing Ozone ExposureAlmost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site oroperating conditions. The following conditions may generatean ozone complaint:• Installation of multiple laser printers in a confined area• Extremely low relative humidity• Poor room ventilation• The exhaust port of the printer is directed towards theface of personnel• The existing ozone filter is in poor condition• Long, continuous printing combined with any of theaboveInspect your work environment for the operating conditionslisted above if you believe ozone emissions are a problem inyour area. Some people may be ultra-sensitive to ozone odor.If these situations are encountered, it is advisable to positionthe printer away from the sensitive user.Laser SafetyThis printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under theU.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)Radiation Performance Standard according to the RadiationControl for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means thatthe printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completelyconfined within protective housings and external covers, thelaser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phaseof user operation.CDRH RegulationsThe Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) ofthe U.S. Food and Drug Administration implementedregulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. Theseregulations apply to laser products manufactured afterAugust 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for productsmarketed in the United States.
