HP recommends the following equipment, which may be used for material handling, unpacking parts,
and certain maintenance and cleaning tasks:
● A pair of heat-resistant gloves per person, flexible and resistant up to 200°C (392°F) with an irregular
gr
abbing surface. If heat resistance gloves are required according to the Explosion Protection
Document (EPD) or Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA), it is recommended to choose them according
to standard ISO/EN 13732-1 Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Methods of assessment of
human responses to contact with surfaces. Part 1: Hot Surfaces. Follow the cooling times before
handling.
● Chemical protection gloves for use when removing condensation
● Conductive or electrostatic-dissipative footwear and clothing
● Mask to exclude vapors of organic compounds
● Mask or goggles if the environment is dusty
● Hearing protection if necessary
Use of tools
Tools may sometimes be needed for maintenance operations.
● Users: Daily operations including printer settings, printing, unpacking and refilling, replacement of
agen
t reservoirs, and daily checks. No tool is required.
● Maintenance personnel: Hardware maintenance tasks and replacement of Customer Self-
R
eplaceable (CSR) parts may require a screwdriver, as described in
