III Environmental and Safety Consideration Ozone Safety During normal operation, the ML-6040 printer produces ozone. The ozone produced does not present a hazard to the operator. However, it is advisable that the machine be operated in a well ventilated area. If you need additional information about ozone, please contact your nearest Samsung dealer. Power Saver This printer contains advanced energy conservation technology that reduces power consumption when it is not in active use. When the printer does not receive data for an extended period of time, power consumption is automatically lowered. The energy star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any product or service. Radio Frequency Emissions FCC Declaration of Conformity 1. Product Name 2. Model Number 3. FCC Rules : Laser Printer : Samsung ML-6040 : TESTED TO COMPLY WITH FCC PART 15 CLASS B 4.
