Environmental information
Environmental benefits of power management
The electricity consumption of a device depends on both its properties and the way of using the device. Suitable power management settings offer you a resource-saving way of usage. By setting the time to go into power saving modes (e.g., sleep mode), shorter (or optimal), electricity consumption can be reduced.
Recycled paper
This product can print on recycled paper and environmentally certified paper, which complies with the European standard EN 12281, as well as virgin paper. In addition, it can print on lighter paper, 64g/m2, for example. Using such light paper contributes to resource-saving.
Duplex printing
With a product that has a duplex unit, you can print on both sides of paper automatically. Using this function leads to reducing the consumption of natural resources and your costs. The attached printer driver provides this duplex printing function as the initial setting in your computer (The setting can be changed after installation manually).

WARNING
- This device must be used with a shielded interface cable. The use of non-shielded cables is likely to result in interference with radio communications and is prohibited under EU directives. If IC-420 is installed: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Laser safety
This is a digital machine that operates using a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser provided the machine is operated according to the instructions in the manuals. Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product per IEC 60825-1: 2014. This means the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Internal laser radiation
Maximum Average Radiation Power: 15.1 μW (bizhub C650i), 13.1 μW (bizhub C550i), 9.9 μW (bizhub C450i) at the laser aperture of the print head unit. Wavelength: 775-800 nm (bizhub C650i/C550i)/770-800 nm (bizhub C450i). This product employs a Class 3B laser diode that emits an invisible laser beam. The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the print head unit. The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM: Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.
Operation precautions
To ensure the optimum performance of this machine, observe the precautions described below.
Power source
The power source requirements are as follows.
- Voltage fluctuation: Maximum ± 10% (at 110 V/120 V/220 to 240 V AC)
- Frequency fluctuation: Maximum ± 3 Hz (at 50 Hz/60 Hz)
- Use a power source with as few voltage or frequency fluctuations as possible.
Operating environment
The environmental requirements for the correct operation of the machine are as follows.
- Temperature: 50°F (10°C) to 86°F (30°C) with fluctuations of no more than 18°F (10°C) within an hour
- Humidity: 15% to 85% with fluctuations of no more than 10% within an hour
Storage of copies
To store copies, follow the recommendation listed below.
- Copies that are to be kept for a long time should be kept where they are not exposed to light in order to prevent them from fading.
- An adhesive that contains solvent (e.g., spray glue) may dissolve the toner on copies.
- Color copies have a thicker layer of toner than normal black-and-white copies. Therefore, when a color copy is folded, the toner at the fold may peel off.
Data stored in this machine
It is suggested to delete all data stored in all storage areas using the overwrite all data function to prevent leakage of data before transfer or disposal of the machine, or returning of the leased machine. For details of the overwrite all data function, refer to the User’s Guide. Contact your service representative before deleting data. It is recommended to back up storage periodically as the measures for storage defects. For detailed information of storage backup, contact your service representative.
