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 0.02 parts per million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.

The EPL-N2050 laser printer generates less than 0.002 ppm for 2 hours of continuous printing in a closed room of approximately 29.8 m³.

Minimize exposure risk

To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone:

❏Do not use more than one laser printer in a confined area (see

Ozone exposure limit above)

❏Do not use your printer in conditions of extremely low humidity

❏Do not use your printer in a room with poor ventilation

❏Avoid long, continuous printing in any of the conditions mentioned above

Printer location

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

❏Not blown directly into the user’s face
