Electrical
WARNING: Observe these safety precautions to avoid possible electrical shock
hazard when using the Gerber Solara ion.
Use the correct power cord; do not use a damaged power cord.
Use an outlet with a ground terminal or electric shock can occur.
Turn printer off and unplug it from the power source before servicing.
Unplug any communications cables before servicing.
Never open covers affixed by screws unless directed by Gerber service personnel.
Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to the printer.
Remove any electrostatic charge from your clothing or body by touching a metal part
of the printer before servicing. Electronic components (such as memory) may
malfunction if exposed to electrostatic charge.
Industrial rubber mats are required under and around the printer if it is installed on
carpeting.
Ink handling and disposal
CAUTION: Observe these general safety precautions when operating the Gerber
Solara ion
Ink Jet Printer.
CAUTION: Use impervious gloves to protect your hands. Nitrile gloves of no less
than 8 mils have proven impervious for one hour of exposure. Gloves should be
disposed of after one hour of exposure time. Wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Dispose of used swabs, wipes, and gloves according to local laws and regulations.
Do not use inks other than GerberCAT inks. Using other inks will void the warranty
and will damage the printer.
Consult the Gerber CAT ink MSDS for proper handling, disposal, and safety
recommendations. Also consult local laws and regulations.
Do not open ink pouches. Ink could get on your skin or in your eyes.
When handling ink pouches and waste ink, be careful that the ink does not get on your
skin by wearing impervious nitrile gloves. If it does, wash your skin with mild soap
and water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
If your clothing comes in contact with uncured ink, remove any contaminated clothing
and wash them separately with soap and water.
If ink gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with copious amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
Dispose empty ink pouches, waste ink, wipes, used swabs and gloves according to
local laws and regulations.
