Ozone emission
This printer meets the requirements for ozone emission of the applicable standard
published by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. (UL). Ozone (O
3
) is a colorless gas
by-product of the electrophotographic process. Ozone is discharged only while the
printer is printing, and is emitted through the exhaust port on the rear, left side of
the printer. Only service personnel should replace the ozone filter.
Those who are particularly sensitive to ozone odor may feel sick if exposed to it for
long periods of time. To avoid this, make sure that the following measures are
taken:
•
Install the printer in a large, well ventilated room.
•
Avoid facing the exhaust port directly toward users.
•
Be sure that the ozone filter is replaced periodically by the service person.
•
Avoid using the printer without a filter.
Energy Star compliance
The Colorwriter comes equipped with a power saver mode that can reduce the
total power consumption of the printer to less than 45 watts—a 65 percent
reduction in electricity use. This option turns off the fan and fuser after a user-
defined period of inactivity. With the new power saver feature, the Colorwriter
complies with EPA guidelines set for an Energy Star compliant device.
