HP Scitex FB700 Industrial Printer - Manual (Page 9)

Safety warnings
● UV light — the ultraviolet (UV) curing lamps emit high power UV light. The printer must be
operated with all safety shielding installed to protect the operator from eye and skin damage.
When operated according to manufacturer’s instructions, safety glasses or other protective
clothing are not necessary.
● Mechanical hazards — Keep fingers away from carriage and media path. Do not exceed the
maximum weight load of the input or output tables, as printed on the label.
● Ink — read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for the ink, and post the document in the work area as required by prevailing law. Avoid any
contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapors. Respirator protection may be required under exceptional circumstances when
excessive air contamination exists. None of the component substances have established
exposure standards per OSHA, NIOSH or ACGIH. Collect waste ink in container provided.
Dispose of ink according to MSDS and local regulations. Keep the waste-ink spigot closed
during printing.
● Special ventilation is not required to meet US OSHA requirements on occupational exposure to
VOCs from the HP UV-curable inks used with the printer. Special ventilation equipment
installation is at the discretion of the customer; no specific HP recommendation is intended.
Customers should consult state and local requirements and regulations.
● Electrical — WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, POWER MAY STILL BE
SUPPLIED TO THE PRINTER COMPONENTS. To completely cut power from the printer, you
must unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
● Ozone — the high power UV light emitted by the curing lamps and ionizer bar reacts with
oxygen and produces ozone. This formation tends to be greatest during lamp startup. The lamps
include ozone filters to reduce ozone production. The printer should be operated in a well-
ventilated area to avoid minor effects such as headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper
respiratory tract. Normal air movement will mix the ozone with fresh air, causing it to revert back
to oxygen.
● Hazardous waste — THE PRINTER ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A LITHIUM
BATTERY DEVICE. THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS
INCORRECTLY REPLACED. The battery must be replaced only by authorized service
providers, and must be replaced only with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of this lithium
battery device in accordance with local, state (or province), and Federal (or country) solid waste
requirements.
