CAUTION:
<2-23> Pinch hazards exist in this area.
Attention: This is an ESD sensitive device (see “Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Procedures” on page 26).
Electrical Safety
This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a national
testing laboratory indicates that the product is designed and manufactured in accordance with national
requirements intended to minimize safety hazards. IBM equipment meets a very high standard of safety in design
and manufacture. Remember, however, that this product operates under conditions of high electrical potentials
and heat generation, both of which are functionally necessary.
Extension Cords
Fire Safety
Because the paper and toner used in the printer can burn, you should take normal precautions to prevent fire.
These precautions include common sense measures, such as keeping potentially combustible materials (for
example, curtains and chemicals) away from the printer, providing adequate ventilation and cooling, limiting
unattended operation, and having trained personnel available and assigned to the printer.
This printer complies with the performance standards set the by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class 1
Laser Product. This means that the printer belongs to a class of laser products that does not produce hazardous
laser radiation in a customer access area. This classification was accomplished by providing the necessary
protective housing and scanning safeguard to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1 limits.
There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved, removed or replaced only by trained
service personnel. There are no operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser.
No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a Class 1 Laser Product.
No adjustments that affect laser operation or power are accessible to the operator.
Ozone Safety
An infinitesimal amount of ozone gas (O₃) is generated during corona discharge from the transfer charge roller.
The ozone gas is emitted only when the printer is operating. This printer meets the ozone emission reference
value set by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) at the time it is shipped from the factory.
Toner Safety
hcsf0238
CAUTION:
<2-38> To vacuum toner, use only a vacuum cleaner that IBM has
approved for use with toner.
Toner is a non-poisonous substance composed of minute, plastic components. If toner adheres to your skin or to
your clothes, remove as much as possible with a dry tissue, then wash with cold water. If you use hot water, the
toner will gel and become difficult to remove. Avoid letting toner come into contact with vinyl. The plasticizers in
vinyl can also plasticize some toners.
Instructions
Perform this safety inspection before performing any of the following tasks:
v Accept a machine for service agreement
v Provide per-call service
v Relocate a machine
v Review changes or attachments on any IBM machine that is leased, on service agreement, or on per-call

If the suggested diagnostics do not resolve the problem, return to “MAP 010: Start MAP” on page 44 and define
the problem again or call for technical support. See “Appendix B. Drivers, Technical Support, and Warranty
Information” on page 617.
This chapter contains only MAPs (Maintenance Analysis Procedures) for problem diagnosis. Some of these
procedures require other actions such as printing a Service Page or other checks. “Chapter 3. Wiring and Pin-Out
Diagrams” on page 297 contains information on printing test prints and performing checks and tests.
Review all MAPs that you were directed to. If you suspect an intermittent problem, check the following:
v All connectors and wiring associated with the suspected FRUs.
v All frame grounds and ground connectors.
v If you suspect a consumable (CRU), supplies or supplies storage problem (environmental conditions such as
temperature, humidity, or ventilation), refer to the IBM Infoprint 21 User’s Guide.
Refer to the list of Suspect FRUs at the beginning of the MAP and repair/replace any remaining FRUs that you
have not already replaced. After each replacement, print a Printer Configuration page to determine if the problem
has been fixed. If you have replaced a part that did not correct the problem, reinstall the original part before
continuing.
If a fix has not been found for the problem, contact your next level of support. See “Appendix B. Drivers, Technical
Support, and Warranty Information” on page 617.

This chapter contains detailed procedures such as printing test pages, printing a configuration page, working with
the error log, and performing checks and test necessary to support diagnostics.
Note: If a network interface card (NIC) is installed, the timings will change and the printer might take up to five
minutes to initialize.

Preventive maintenance for this printer is the responsibility of the customer. It requires the customer to periodically
replace supplies (parts). Although the customer may choose to have a service representative perform the
preventive maintenance (parts replacement) on a “per-call” basis, the customer is still responsible for purchasing
the supplies.
The initial toner cartridge can print approximately 8,000 pages of Letter-size paper, containing text or graphics that
cover 5% of the page. This yield was established with the default DENSITY setting and QUALITY set to NORMAL
(Config Menu). Toner cartridges after the first can print approximately 15,000 pages in the same conditions. The
QUALITY=ECONO setting can increase the life of the toner cartridge by up to 20% to 30%. This yield increase
was established with a toner coverage of 5% on letter-size paper, default DENSITY setting, QUALITY=ECONO
setting, and an average of 3 to 4 pages per print job. (Note that the print driver settings will override all other
settings.)
Note: The actual page yield is affected by the environment, the type of print media, the orientation of the print
media, the percentage of text and graphics, the complexity of the graphics, and other factors, so actual
results can vary.
