HP Designjet 8000 Printer series - Manual (Page 18)

● Do not operate printer within 8 meters (25 feet) of open flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
Do not smoke within 8 meters (25 feet) of the printer.
● Install and operate the printer in a well-ventilated area.
● The printer installation must meet all applicable regulations on the emissions of volatile organic
compounds in the workplace. HP recommends that installations use an ink vapor extraction and
exhaust system or an HP Air Purification System. Before installing a system exhausting ink vapors to
the outside atmosphere, consult with your local air quality control authorities.
● Avoid contact between ink and skin, eyes, and clothing.
● Immediately wash skin with soapy water.
● Remove clothing soaked with ink from contact with skin.
● Use an approved eye wash station if ink is splashed into eyes and consult a doctor if necessary.
If an approved eye wash station is unavailable, flush eyes with cold water and consult a doctor
if necessary.
● Do not swallow ink. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention.
● Keep ink cartridges, cleaning kits, and waste ink bottles out of the reach of children.
● Be sure all operators are trained in the use of emergency equipment such as eye wash stations and
fire extinguishers and know where they are located.
General cautions
● Handle media rolls with care. They can be heavy and difficult to move in confined spaces. In some
cases, two people should move and install media rolls. Dropping a media roll could cause personal
injury or damage to the printer.
● Allow and maintain adequate space around printer for immediate access to safety equipment such
as eye wash stations, fire extinguishers, glove and safety glass dispensers, and fireproof waste
storage containers.
● Treat any media, used cleaning and maintenance supplies, and wipes soaked with ink as combustible
materials. Handle and dispose of properly.
● If an Air Purifier System is installed, allow adequate space for exhaust hoses from the printer. Locate
these hoses and the Air Purifier System so that they do not pose a trip hazard or interfere with the
operation of the printer such as loading and unloading media, replacing Ink Cartridges, inspecting and
replacing the waste ink bottle.
● Always hold the power cable by the plug when connecting and disconnecting from the power outlet.
Never pull on the cable because this may damage it and create risk of fire and electric shock.
● Do not touch heater surfaces in the media path. This may cause burns.
In order to ensure the safe operation of the printer, heed all of the cautions and warnings contained
throughout this manual.
