Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

The following are hazards to your safety:

  • The power cord is damaged or frayed.
  • Liquid is spilled into the printer.
  • The printer is exposed to water.
  • The printer emits smoke, or the surface is unusually hot.
  • The printer emits unusual noise or odors.
  • The printer causes a circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device to activate.

If any of these conditions occur, do the following:

  1. Turn off the printer immediately.
  2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
  3. Call an authorized service representative.

Power Cord

  • Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
  • Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Make sure that each end of the cord is securely connected. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.
  • Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a ground connection terminal.

XEROX Phaser 3040 - Power Cord - 1

WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly grounded. Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.

  • Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of the printer.
  • Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power. Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.
  • Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.
  • Do not place objects on the power cord.
  • Replace the power cord if it becomes frayed or worn.
  • Do not unplug or plug the power cord while the printer is turned on.
    • To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Operational Safety

Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards.

Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of your printer.

Operational Guidelines

  • Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the print driver or control panel while the printer is printing.
  • Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.
  • Do not move the printer when it is printing.
  • Keep hands, hair, neckties, and so on away from the exit and feed rollers.
  • Covers, which require tools for removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove the protective covers.

Ozone Release

This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on print volume. Ozone is heavier than air and is not produced in amounts large enough to harm anyone. Install the printer in a well-ventilated room.

Printer Supplies

  • Use the supplies designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials can cause poor performance and a possible safety hazard.
  • Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the product, options, and supplies.
    • Store all consumable supplies in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.
  • Keep all consumable supplies away from the reach of children.
  • Never throw toner cartridges into an open flame.
  • When handling toner cartridges, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can cause irritation and inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge, which can increase the risk of skin or eye contact.

Paper Storage Guidelines

Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.

  • Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.
  • Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
  • Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
  • Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect moisture.
  • Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
  • Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
  • Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
  • Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Paper Jams

This section includes:

  • Minimizing Paper Jams.... 39
  • Locating Paper Jams....40
  • Clearing Paper Jams 41

Minimizing Paper Jams

The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox ^® supported paper. Other paper types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of the paper path.

The following can cause paper jams:

  • Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver.
    • Using damaged paper.
    • Using unsupported paper.
  • Loading paper incorrectly.
    • Overfilling the tray.
  • Adjusting the paper guides improperly.

Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:

• Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 16.
- Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
- Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
- Fan the paper to separate the sheets before loading it into the tray.
- Observe the paper tray fill line; never overfill the tray.
- Adjust the paper guides on the trays after inserting the paper. A guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
- After loading the tray, select the correct paper type and size in the print driver.
- When printing, select the correct type and size in the print driver.
- Store paper in a dry location.
- Use only Xerox ^® paper designed for the printer.

Avoid the following:

  • Polyester coated paper that is specially designed for inkjet printers.
  • Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
  • Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time.

Troubleshooting

• Overfilling the trays.
- Allowing the output tray to overfill.
