HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 10)

● Ensure that the operating temperature of the substrate recommended by the manufacturer is not
exceeded. If this information is not available, ask the manufacturer. Do not load substrates that cannot
be used at an operating temperature above 125°C (257°F).
● Do not load substrates with auto-ignition temperatures below 250°C (482°F). See note below. No
ignition sources are close to the substrate.
NOTE: Test method based on EN ISO 6942:2002; Evaluation of materials and material assemblies
when exposed to a source of radiant heat, method B. The test conditions, to determine the temperature
when the substrate starts ignition (either flame or glow) were: Heat flux density: 30 kW/m2, Copper
calorimeter, K type thermocouple.
● Proper maintenance and genuine HP consumables are required to ensure that the printer operates
safely as designed. The use of non-HP consumables (foams, filters, printhead cleaner roll, and inks)
may present a risk of fire.
Mechanical hazard
The printer has moving parts that could cause injury. To avoid personal injury, take the following precautions
when working close to the printer.
● Keep your clothing and all parts of your body away from the printer's moving parts.
● Avoid wearing necklaces, bracelets and other hanging objects.
● If your hair is long, try to secure it so that it will not fall into the printer.
● Take care that sleeves or gloves do not get caught in the printer's moving parts.
● Avoid standing close to the fans, which could cause injury and could also affect print quality (by
obstructing the air flow).
● Do not touch gears or moving rolls during printing.
● Do not operate the printer with covers bypassed.
Light radiation hazard
Infrared (IR) radiation is emitted from the dryer module. The dryer enclosure limits radiation in compliance
with the requirements of the exempt group of IEC 62471:2006, Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp
systems. However, you are recommended not to look directly at the lamps while they are on. Do not modify
the dryer enclosure.
Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level could exceed 70 dBA in some print modes. Hearing protection may be required.
Heavy substrate hazard
Special care must be taken to avoid personal injury when handling heavy substrates.
● Handling heavy substrate rolls always requires two people. Care must be taken to avoid back strain
and/or injury.
● Always use a forklift, pallet truck, or other handling equipment to lift substrates. The printer has been
designed to be compatible with many of these devices.
● Always wear personal protective equipment including boots and gloves.
