English
• The LED’s array supports, beam and enclosures can reach high temperatures. To avoid the risk of re, take the
following precautions:
- Take special care with zones marked with warning labels.
- Do not place objects covering LED’s arrays supports, beam and enclosures.
- Take care not to spill liquid on the accessory. After cleaning, make sure all components are dry before using the
printer.
- Do not attempt to modify LED’s array supports, beam and enclosures;
Heat Hazard
The drying and curing subsystems of the printer operate at high temperatures and can cause burns if touched. LED’s
array (oprional) supports , beam and enclosures can reach high temperatures. To avoid the risk of burns, take the
following precautions:
• Do not touch the internal enclosures of the printer’s drying and curing modules and vapor removal thermal blankets.
• Take special care when accessing the substrate path.
• Take special care with zones marked with warning labels.
• Do not place objects covering LED’s arrays supports, beam and enclosures.
• Do not attempt to modify LED’s array supports, beam and enclosures;
• Remember to let the printer cool down before performing some maintenance operations.
Mechanical hazard
The printer has moving parts that could cause injury. To avoid personal injury, take the following precautions when
working close to the printer and in-line slitters:
• Keep your clothing and all parts of your body away from the printer’s moving parts.
• Avoid wearing necklaces, bracelets and other hanging objects.
• If your hair is long, try to secure it so that it will not fall into the printer.
• Take care that sleeves or gloves do not get caught in the printer’s moving parts.
• Avoid standing close to the fans, which could cause injury and could also aect print quality (by obstructing the air
ow).
• Do not touch gears or moving rolls during printing.
• Do not operate the printer with covers bypassed.
• Do not touch in-line slitters during printing.
• Handle in-line slitters with care and store them safely into their box when not used with the printer.
• Risk of cutting your ngers! Uninstall the In-line slitters when manipulating the curing module or accessing the
substrate path.
• Take care when using the air gun. When used for cleaning purposes, make sure to use it according to the local
regulations since additional safety provisions may apply.
Light radiation hazard
UV radiation can be emitted from the LED’s array in compliance with the requirements of the exempt group of IEC
62471:2006 Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems. However, you are recommended not to look directly for a
long time at the output LEDs lights while they are on.
Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level could exceed 70 dBA in some print modes. Hearing protection may be required.
Chemical hazard
Safety data sheets identify ink ingredient and ventilation requirements to ensure any airborne exposure is adequately
controlled.
Current printer ink systems material safety data sheets are available at: http://www.hp.com/go/msds.
Air conditioning and ventilation should meet with local environmental and health and safety (EHS) guidelines and
regulations. To see more detailed information, please refer to the “Ventilation and air conditioning” section included in the
site preparation guide, available at: http://www.hp.com/go/latex1500/manuals.
Heavy substrate hazard
Special care must be taken to avoid personal injury when handling heavy substrates.
• Handling heavy substrate rolls always requires two people. Care must be taken to avoid back strain and/or injury.
• Always use a forklift, pallet truck, or other handling equipment to lift substrates. The printer has been designed to be
compatible with many of these devices.
• Always wear personal protective equipment including boots and gloves.
