A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission  
level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
2
NOTE:  
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3)  
calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.  
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is  
advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.  
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING  
Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.  
Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock  
or strike it against any object.  
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct  
sunlight.  
Doing so will damage the surface (green portion)  
of the drum cartridge, causing smudges on copies.  
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges andTD cartridges in a dark place  
without removing from the package before use.  
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, smudges on copies may result.  
Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.
