Safety
Requirements
WARNING! Follow normal safety precautions for all office equip-
ment whenever using your mailing system.
Read all instructions before you attempt to operate the
machine. Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters.
Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dust-
ers, can cause an explosive-like condition that could result in a personal
injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flam-
mable and always read instructions and safety precautions on the duster
container label.
• Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a properly
grounded wall outlet located near the machine and easily accessible. Fail-
ure to properly ground the machine can result in severe personal injury
and/or fire.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the ma-
chine from the AC supply.
• Do not remove the power cord's ground pin and do not use a ground
adapter.
• Make sure the area in front of the power outlet is free of obstruction.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces
of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on it.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove
covers or disassemble the equipment. The housing encloses hazardous
parts. If any components are dropped or otherwise damaged, report such
damage to your Pitney Bowes customer service representative.
• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry, neck ties, and loose clothing away from
moving parts at all times.
• When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to prevent
personal injury and damaging equipment.
• To prevent overheating do not cover system vent openings.
• When lifting covers, wait for all parts to stop moving before placing hands
near feeder path or printer.
• Do not remove covers as they enclose hazardous parts that should only
be accessed by a Pitney Bowes Service Representative.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, e.g., inks, tapes, and cleaners.

scribed for your workplace.
