THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE GIVEN BY XEROX WITH RESPECT TO THIS
PRODUCT AND ITS CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE CONSUMABLES IN LIEU OF ANY
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. XEROX AND ITS VENDORS
DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY SIMILAR STANDARD IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE
LEGISLATION. XEROX' RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR OFFER A
REFUND FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE
CONSUMABLES IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED TO THE
CUSTOMER FOR BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES. XEROX AND ITS VENDORS
WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS) IRRESPECTIVE OF
WHETHER XEROX OR THE VENDOR HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some states, provinces, and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages or exclusions or limitations on the duration of
implied warranties or conditions, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
that vary by state, province, or country.
For the software warranty please see the end user license agreement included with the
software.
In certain geographies this product is warranted by Fuji Xerox. This statement of
warranty does not apply in Japan – please refer to the warranty statement provided in
the Japanese user manual for products purchased in Japan.
If you are an Australian consumer, you should be aware that the Trade Practices Act
1974 and equivalent State and Territory legislation (collectively "the Acts") contain
special provisions designed to protect Australian consumers. Nothing in any Fuji Xerox
warranty material excludes or limits the application of any provision of any of the Acts,
where to do so would contravene the Acts or cause any part of this warranty to be void.
In this warranty material, an implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from
a contract with a "Consumer" (as defined in the Acts) would contravene any provision of
the Acts or cause any part or all of this warranty to be void, is called a "Non-excludable
Condition". To the full extent permitted by law, Fuji Xerox’s sole and total liability to
the customer for a breach of any Non-excludable Condition (including for any
consequential loss suffered by the customer) is limited, except as otherwise stated
herein, to (at Fuji Xerox’ option) replacing or repairing the goods, or resupplying, or
paying the cost of the resupply of, the services, in respect of which the breach occurred.
Subject to the above, all conditions and warranties which would or might otherwise be
implied in a Consumer contract, whether by operation of statute, inference from
circumstances, industry practice or otherwise, are excluded.

User safety summary
Your printer and the recommended consumable supplies have been designed and tested
to meet strict safety requirements. Attention to the following notes will ensure the
continued safe operation of your printer.
Electrical Safety
■

Use the power cord supplied with your printer.

■

Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source
receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal.

■

Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use
an extension cord. If you do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an
electrician to check the outlet.

Warning
Avoid the potential of severe electrical shock by ensuring the printer is
properly grounded.
■

Do not place the printer where people may step on the power cord.

■

Do not place objects on the power cord.

■

Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent
overheating of the printer.

Warning
Do not push objects into slots and openings on the printer. Making a contact
with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical
shock.
■

If you notice unusual noises or odors, switch off the printer power immediately.
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized service
representative to correct the problem.

■

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the
printer. In the event it is necessary to remove all electrical power from the printer,
disconnect the power cord from the power receptacle.

If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the printer power immediately,
disconnect the power cord, and call an authorized service representative.

■
■

The power cord is damaged or frayed.

■

Liquid is spilled into the printer.

■

The printer is exposed to water.

■

Any part of the printer is damaged.

Maintenance Safety
■

Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the
documentation supplied with your printer.

■

Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause
poor performance and could create a dangerous condition.

■

Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are
installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power
should be OFF when performing these installations. Except for user installable
options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements.
These include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established
environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines will help to ensure the continued safe
operation of your printer.
■

Use the material and supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of
unsuitable materials may result in poor performance and possibly a hazardous
situation.

■

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer,
options and supplies.

■

Place the printer in a dust free area where the temperature range is 50 degrees F to
90 degrees F (10 degrees C to 32 degrees C) and the relative humidity is 10 percent
to 85 percent.

■

Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation
and servicing. The recommended minimal spacing is 90 cm (36 in.) in front of and
above the printer, 60 cm (24 in.) behind the printer, and 30 cm (12 in.) on each
side of the printer. Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the printer.
Without adequate ventilation, the printer may overheat.

■

Paper Tips
Caution

Paper Tips

Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially
inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media
are coated with a substance that can damage printer
components. Damage caused by using unsupported media is
not covered by the printer’s warranty. Always use Xerox
Phaser media that has been specially designed for use with
your printer.
Use only Phaser 35 Series Transparencies. Other
transparencies may cause damage to the fuser. Any damage
that is caused due to the use of unsupported media is not
covered by your printer’s warranty. See Xerox Phaser 35
Series Transparencies on page 32.
■

For a comprehensive list of media types, weights, sizes and part
numbers, print the Paper Tips Page from the front panel. Press
Menu until Support Menu is selected. Press the Value button
until Print Paper Tips Page is selected. Press the Enter button.

■

For specialty media, use the Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder (MBF)
with the side output tray open on the left side of the printer; refer
to page 27.

■

For best results, use Xerox Phaser paper; it is guaranteed to
produce excellent results on your Phaser 2135 printer.

■

A low-paper message is displayed when there are approximately
30 to 40 sheets of paper remaining in the paper tray.

■

Auto tray switching is available. When one tray runs out of media,
the printer switches to the next tray that contains the same media
size. If you do not have a second tray, a Load Tray 1 message
appears on the front panel.

■

While printing, do not remove:

16

■

the media source tray that you have selected in the driver or
front panel.

■

any trays above the currently selected media source tray.

Phaser 2135 Color Printer

■

Always keep media in a sealed package to avoid the effects of
humidity, which can affect print quality.

■

If you use non-Xerox paper, make sure that it meets the following
criteria:
Weight range: 60-203 g/m2 (16-54 lb. bond)

Envelopes
Guidelines for envelope printing:
Caution

■

Envelopes must be fed Long-Edge Feed (LEF).

■

Do not print on the back of the envelope.

■

Keep unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the
effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print
quality and cause wrinkling.

■

Many applications include a tool for creating an envelope
document. For example, Microsoft Word includes an
Envelopes and Labels feature in the Tools menu. Make sure
that you select Face Up; select the feed method with the
image centered; and unselect Clockwise Rotation.

■

Load a maximum of 10 envelopes at a time.

■

No exposed gummed surfaces.

■

Single-sided printing only.

Note
■

This printer is not designed to handle high-capacity
production envelope printing.

■

Envelopes may wrinkle depending on weight and stiffness of
the envelope.

Automatic 2-Sided Printing From the
Paper Tray
Automatic 2-sided printing is available from all trays; it is not
available from the Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder. To use automatic
2-sided printing, the duplex option must be installed in the printer.
For best results with 2-sided printing, use 90 g/m2 (24 lb. bond) laser
paper.
Automatic 2-sided printing is available for all paper sizes except A6.
Use only plain paper or heavy paper. Paper weight must be between
75-120 g/m2 (20-32 lb. bond).
Note

2-Sided Prints

See Manual 2-Sided Printing (page 39) for information about
duplexing heavier paper weights.
For best results with automatic 2-sided printing, do not use heavy
toner coverage on the even-numbered pages of your print job.
Caution
Use only laser bond paper for automatic 2-sided printing in
the Universal Tray. Do not use any specialty media (such as
glossy coated paper) to print automatic 2-sided printing.
Damage caused by using unsupported media for 2-sided
printing is not covered by the printer’s warranty.

Manual 2-Sided Printing
Manual 2-sided printing can be done from the Multi-Sheet Bypass
Feeder (MBF) or from the universal trays.

Media Specifics
■

Use only the following paper types for manual 2-sided printing:
■

Plain paper

■

Heavy paper

■

Glossy paper

■

Thick card stock

■

Thin card stock

For the best opacity and feed reliability, use laser paper that is
90 g/m2 (24 lb. bond) paper.

■

2-sided printing on specialty media can shorten the life of printer
components.

■

For best results, do not use heavy toner coverage on Side-1 of a
manual 2-sided print. Increase the top margin on Side-1 to at least
12 mm (or 0.5 in.).

■

Print quality may be degraded on the second side of manual
2-sided prints for weights ranging from 120-203 g/m2 (44-75 lb.
cover, 65-112 lb. index).

■

The media is moist, bent, or folded.

■

The media is not loaded properly.

■

The Universal Tray is not adjusted properly for the media
(side and rear guides).

Clearing Media Jams

Jams

When a media jam occurs, printing stops and a message is displayed
on the front panel. The message indicates the location of the jam and
the corrective action. More than one sheet of media may be jammed in
the paper path. Refer to the labels on the printer to clear the jam.
Caution
To avoid possible injury, do not touch the printer’s fuser
rollers; they may be hot.
Do not touch the shiny green surface on the under-side of the
imaging drum.
Be careful not to touch the toner on jammed media as the
toner has not been fused to the paper and rubs off.

Note
Inside the printer, all handles and points of user interaction
for removing jammed media are green.

Additional Information: The results obtained from a Xerox-sponsored Chronic
Toner Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung changes in rats for the lowest
(1 mg/m3) exposure level (i.e., the level most relevant to potential human
exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25 percent of the
animals at the middle (4 mg/m3) exposure level, while a slight degree of
fibrosis was noted in all the animals at the highest (16 mg/m3) exposure level.

The findings are attributed to lung overloading, a generic response to excessive
amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged period. This study
was conducted using a special test toner to comply with EPA testing protocol.
The test toner was ten times more respirable than commercially available
Xerox toner and would not be functionally suitable for Xerox equipment.

SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Since the isopropyl-alcohol solution is completely absorbed by the applicator
and the amount of isopropyl alcohol per applicator is small, the chance of a
significant spill occurring is small. In the event however, that a significant
amount of liquid is released, ventilate the area, especially low areas where
vapors may collect, and remove all sources of ignition. Cleanup personnel
need protection against liquid contact and vapor inhalation.
