Before disposal
Disposal measures
During the production of the individual components, the manufacturer ensures that as
little an impact is made on the environmental as possible. When it comes to disposal,
you as the user have a considerable influence in helping to reduce the strain on the
environment.
For details about the disposal of material (e. g. ribbon) please consult the respective
manufacturer. Please heed the following notes regarding the disposal of packaging,
defect components after maintenance or repair work, or even the disposal of the prin-
ter after the end of the product's service life:
Dispose of waste properly, i.e. sorted according to the material groups of the parts
to be disposed of. The aim should always be to achieve a maximum possible reutilisa-
tion of the basic materials combined with the minimum possible environmental impact.
Therefore, pay attention to the following:
• First of all, remove problem materials from the device and dispose of them separa-
tely. Problem materials are e.g. batteries, LCD displays and parts containing
mercury.
• Then separate the remaining parts as much as possible according to material for
recycling.
Pay attention to the material and disposal instructions which may be included on
certain individual parts.
Under no circumstances should you simply throw electrical or electronic scrap into
the rubbish bin.
Use environmentally compatible alternatives such as returning waste to the sup-
pliers or the manufacturer, disposal by specialised waste disposal firms, exchange
services, etc.
Fundamentally dispose of waste in as environmentally compatible a manner as to-
day's environmental protection, reprocessing and disposal systems allow.
Refer to your supplier, the appropriate disposal firms or directly to the manufacturer
if you have any disposal problems. The manufacturer can provide you with information
and help you to dispose of components from the printer range in a modern and en-
vironmentally compatible manner.
