AL-M320DN/AL-M310DN/AL-M220DN User's Guide Important Instructions ❏ When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Safety Information ❏ Do not attempt to modify or take it apart consumable products and maintenance parts. Laser safety labels ❏ Do not touch the toner. Always keep toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately. ! Warning: The performance of procedures and adjustments other than those specified in the printer’s documentation may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Your printer is a Class 1 laser product as defined in the IEC60825 specifications and a consumer class 1 laser product as defined by the EN50689:2021 specifications. The label similar to the one shown below is attached to the back of the printer in countries where required. ❏ If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner. ❏ Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge or photoconductor after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation.
❏ To get the best print quality, do not store the toner cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Internal laser radiation ❏ When removing the photoconductor unit, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing it to room light for more than three minutes. The photoconductor unit contains a light-sensitive drum. Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum.
If you need to keep the photoconductor unit out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth. There is a Class III b Laser Diode Assembly that has an invisible laser beam inside the printer head unit. The printer head unit is NOT A SERVICE ITEM, therefore, the printer head unit should not be opened under any circumstances. An additional laser warning label is affixed to the inside of the printer. Ozone safety ❏ Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
Ozone emission Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is printing. ❏ Do not touch the transfer roller to avoid damaging it. Ozone exposure limit ❏ Do not let the paper’s edge slide across your skin because the edge of the paper may cut you. The Epson laser printer generates less than 1.5 mg/h of continuous printing. Minimize the risk To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions: 10
