Ozone safety

Ozone emission

Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is printing.

Ozone exposure limit

The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.

The EPL-N2010 laser printer generates <0.02ppm considering a closed room of approximately 29.3m3.

Minimize the risk

To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions:

❏Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area (see above)

❏Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity

❏Poor room ventilation

❏Long, continuous printing together with any of the above

Printer location

The printer should be located so that the exhaust gases and heat generated are:

❏Not blown directly into the user's face

❏Vented directly out of the building whenever possible
