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-5700i laser printer generates less than 0.01 ppm for eight hours of continuous printing when considering a closed room of approximately 1000 cubic feet (8' x 10' x 12'). 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 • Continuous printing for a long period combined 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 22
