Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 1976. These regula-
tions apply to laser products marketed in the United States. The label on the printer indi-
cates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products
marketed in the United States.
Warning:
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.

Power requirements and earthing connection
Three power specifications are listed below. The specifications
that apply to your machine depend on your machine configura-
tion. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power out-
let. Otherwise, it can cause a fire or shock hazard. If in doubt,
contact the Xerox Customer Support Centre.
Rated voltage: 100V
Rated frequency: 50/60Hz
Rated voltage: 120V
Rated frequency: 50/60Hz
Rated voltage: 220-240V
Rated frequency: 50/60Hz
Never use multi-plug adaptors to plug multiple power plugs in
the same outlet. Be sure to operate the machine on a sole-use
receptacle. Multiple connectors can cause the outlet to overheat
and cause a fire.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp envi-
ronment, a contaminated connector can draw a non-negligible
amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause
a fire over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When
an extension power cord is required, always use a properly
rated cord.
In Japan: 125V/15A
In other countries: Contact the Xerox Customer Support
Centre.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the
machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the
touch externally.
xiv Saja Operation Manual
10/12/00
Chapter0.fm
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise dam-
age the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A
damaged cord can cause a fire or shock hazard.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric
shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke,
excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt into
the machine. These conditions can result in a fire. Immediately
switch off and unplug the machine, and contact the Xerox Cus-
tomer Support Centre.
To prevent a fire or shock hazard, follow the instruction below
based on your machine configuration. If in doubt, contact the
Xerox Customer Support Centre.
If your machine is a 220-240V model, there is no need to
attach a separate earth line since the earth connection is
incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a properly rated
outlet.
If your machine is a 100 or 110V model, use the green earth
wire bundled with the power cord, located at the rear of the
machine.
The earth wire must be connected to one of the following
conductors.
Earth terminal of the specified power outlet
A piece of copper buried in the earth 650mm or deeper
Earth terminal with Class 3* earthing.
* Class 3 is the regulation for Japan only.
Never connect the earth wire to any of the following.
Gas pipe, which can cause ignition or an explosion
Telephone line earth wire or lightning rod, which can draw
an excessive electric current if hit by lightning
Water faucet or pipe whose electrical conductivity is broken
by a non-metal part
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask

Typical causes of paper jams
The most common causes of paper jams are:
The printer is not placed on a level surface.
The print media does not conform to the specifications.
The paper is not loaded correctly in the front paper tray or the cassette.
The paper is wrinkled or curled.
The paper guide is not set correctly.
Caution:
If paper is jammed in a hard to reach or hard to see loca-
tion in the printer, do not try to remove it by force. Contact
your dealer or an authorized service station.
When removing jammed paper, make sure that no paper
scraps or paper dust remain in the printer. Paper remnants
in the printer can become a fire hazard. If paper cannot be
removed or is tightly wound around the heater or a roller,
do not try to remove it by force. Contact your dealer or an
authorized service station.
Important: Remove jammed paper slowly and carefully, to prevent tear-
ing the paper.
Handling Precautions
Caution:
Never touch the heater area (where a label indicating high
temperature is located), or else burns may result. If paper is
jammed at the heater or roller area, do not remove the paper
by force; otherwise personal injury may result. Instead,
immediately turn off the power and contact your local dealer
for assistance.
