Envelopes

Guidelines

Buying and Storing Envelopes

Use only paper envelopes specified in "Supported Papers" on page 1-9. Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
- Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
You may remove air "bubbles" from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.

Preparing to Print

Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:

Use only Tray 1 (MPT) to print envelopes.
- Print only on the front of the envelope.
Perform these steps when using an application that includes a tool for creating an envelope document:

Select faceup.

Select the feed method with the image centered.
Clear Clockwise Rotation
- Load a maximum of 10 envelopes at a time. This printer is not designed to handle high-capacity production envelope printing.

Caution

Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Toner powders are encased in a cartridge. Minimal exposure through inhalation or skin contact is expected when used as intended.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Health effects from this product are expected to be negligible, when product is used as intended. See Section 11, Toxicology Information.

Immediate Effects:

Inhalation: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract, as for any non-toxic dust

Skin: Not expected to cause skin irritation

Eye: Not expected to cause eye irritation

Ingestion: Not an expected route of exposure

Chronic Effects: None known

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Minor irritation to respiratory tract.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known.

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

EYES: If particles get into eye, flush thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

INGESTION: Dilute stomach contents with several glasses of water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT: Not applicable

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Toner is a combustible powder. Like most organic powders, it can form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Avoid inhalation of smoke. As for any fire, wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SPILL OR LEAK: Sweep up or vacuum spilled materials and carefully transfer into sealable waste container. Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during clean up. If a vacuum is used, the motor must be rated as dust tight. A conductive hose bonded to the machine should be used to reduce static buildup. Clean up residue if necessary with soap and cold water. Wash or dry clean garments after removing loose toner.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: No special precautions, when used as intended.

STORAGE: Avoid high temperatures.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL PROTECTION

No special personal protection indicated, when used as intended in Xerox Phaser O laser printers.

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV): 10mg / m3 (total dust)

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL): 15mg / m3 (total dust); 5mg / m3 (respirable dust)

SHORT TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT (STEL): None established

CEILING LIMIT: None established

XEROX EXPOSURE LIMIT (XEL): 2.5mg / m3 (total dust); 0.4mg / m3 (respirable dust)

SECTION 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: During a fire, toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Avoid breathing smoke.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

This material has been evaluated by Xerox Corporation. The toxicity data noted below is based on test results of similar toners.

Oral LD50: >5g / kg (rats), practically non-toxic

Dermal LD50: >5g / kg (rabbits), practically non-toxic

Inhalation LC50: >2mg / l (rats; 4 hour exposure), practically non-toxic

Eye Irritation: Not an irritant

Skin sensitization: Not a sensitizer

Skin irritation: Not an irritant

Human Patch: Non-irritating, non-sensitizing

Mutagenicity: No mutagenicity detected in Ames assay

Carcinogens: None present

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 (ie., the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25% 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 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Aquatic LC50: >1000mg / l (fathead minnows); non-toxic

SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

This material is not a RCRA hazardous waste as specified in 40 CFR 261. State and local waste disposal requirements, however, may be more restrictive. Dispose in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Incinerate only in a closed container.

SECTION 14 - TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

DOT: Not regulated.

SECTION 15 - REGULATORY INFORMATION

TSCA: All components of these toners have been manufactured in compliance with TSCA.

RCRA: TCLP metals below hazardous waste levels set by EPA.
