Odours are given off by forms or adhesives passing through the hot fusing unit.

Odours are not emitted by the printer. Make sure the forms you use can withstand heating; provide adequate ventilation. Pre–printed forms, transparencies and adhesive labels must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F) for 0·1 second.

Printer is on but must “WARM UP” before a job is printed.
