10 Safety instructions 1.2 Managing VOCs During the operation of the Océ CS9050 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will release originating from the Eco-solvent ink. In order to avoid any health risk the user needs to take all necessary precautions in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations. Océ recommends a minimum ventilation of 150 m3/hr. This means that for a Océ CS9050 installed in a room with a volume of 50 m3, a ventilation rate of at least 3 times per hour is necessary i.e. the room volume of 50 m3 has to be refreshed three times per hour. The recommended ventilation should be applied in case the printer is used at nominal printing speed (7m2/h) at daily print volumes of 21 m2/day (3 times the average intended use). In case of more intensive use of the printer, the ventilation frequency should be increased accordingly. 10 AP Revision 1.0

11 Safety instructions 1.3 Handling inks + waste Before handling inks / cleaning fluids and their waste, please read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the labels for important health, safety and environmental information carefully. All safety data sheets are periodically updated. These sheets and their translations can be found on the MSDS CD. Only use original manufacturer s ink and appropriate cleaning liquid. Before installing an ink holder, shake it gently. Doing so will preserve print quality. When ink is moved from a cold place to a warm place, keep the ink for three hours or more in the new printing environment before printing. Do not disassemble ink holders. Otherwise, ink may get in your eyes or on your skin. A disassembled ink holder can not be used either. When refilling ink, use original manufacturer s ink. Our Océ printers are designed to use original ink. If you use ink which are not produced by the original manufacturer: Printing might become blurred and the end of the ink in the holder might not be detected correctly. Any problems caused by using an ink holder other than those recommended above will not be covered by the warranty, and repair expenses will be paid by the customer. For handling waste: refer to section 13 on the MSDS-sheet. Inks / Waste General advice: wear safety glasses and gloves especially when handling the waste ink. After spill: remove contaminated clothing. After inhalation: if difficulties occur after vapour / aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. After skin contact: wash thoroughly with soap and water. After eye contact: wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water while the eyelids are held open. After swallowing: rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. Never induce vomiting. 1.4 Warnings, cautions and notes 1 Safety terms in this manual and the contents of warning labels attached to the printer are categorized into the following three types, depending on the degree of risc (or the scale of accident).

38 Basics Replacement steps Do not shake ink cassettes. Doing so may cause ink leakage Do not disassemble the ink cassette. A disassembled ink cassette cannot be used. When an ink cassette is moved from a cold place to a warm place, keep the ink cassette unused for 3 hours or more in the printing environment. Do not refill the ink cassettes. Doing so may result in incorrect printing. Insert or remove the ink cassette at the time of replacement only. Inserting or removing ink cassettes except at the time of replacement may result in incorrect printing. Do not replace ink cassettes when the printer is switched OFF. Doing so may result in incorrect detection of the remaining ink and result in abnormal printing behaviour. A used ink cassette should be put in a vinyl bag or a bag used for this kind of waste. Disposal of an ink cassette has to be done in compliance with the regulations and instructions of the local authorities. Open the ink cassette solvent resistant blister just before attaching the ink cassette into the cassette slot. Leaving the ink cassette open for a long time may result in an abnormal print. Replace the ink cassette within 6 months after installing it into the printer. Insert or remove the ink cassette not more than 10 times. This to prevent that the smart chip or its reader would be worn out and malfunction in this way. If inserted or removed more than 10 times the ink cassette could malfunction even if there is some ink remaining. The printer resumes printing when you have replaced (and) ink cassette(s) after an ink end occurred during printing. Be sure to read and understand the safety warnings before handling the printer.
