Part 1:  Safety 

Overview 

 

To ensure a safe working environment for both you and the printer, it is necessary to treat the 
printer and accessories with care. Carefully read and understand all of the contents before 
operating your printer. 
 
Use only printing materials from Full Spectrum Laser (FSL) or approved partners. Use of other 
materials may damage your machine and will void your warranty. Modifying the printer without 
FSL’s approval will invalidate the warranty and may pose a health hazard.  Never attempt to 
operate your printer with the lid open. 
When you receive your printer, please carefully inspect it for any shipping damage.  If there are 
any issues, contact Technical Support immediately via email (

[email protected]

).  

Please 

include your unit’s serial number and photos of the problem.
