HP testing shows that during printer operation, the concentrations of airborne contaminants measured in the workspace are consistently well below key occupational exposure limits. This observation is based on exposure assessments that model very active productivity at customer facilities. Customers should recognize that actual levels in their facilities are dependent on workspace variables they control such as room size, ventilation performance and duration of equipment use. HP's assessment concluded, based on the available scientific information, that airborne materials are not expected to present a health hazard by providing a minimum of 10 ACH (air changes per hour) of fresh air ventilation and a minimum room volume of: ● 120 m³ (4238 ft³) HP Latex R1000 Printer ● 185 m³ (6533 ft³) HP Latex R2000 Printer These specifications are valid for the following conditions: one HP printer using a black area fill plot at 100 m²/h (1076 ft²/h), 3 passes, 80% of ink, assuming 8 hours of printing exposure time a day. If there is more equipment in the room, or different conditions the ventilation rate should be recalculated accordingly. In addition to the workspace benefit provided by general room ventilation, intense use of this printer system in some customers' facilities may require the use of localized ventilation in order to provide a readily acceptable working environment. This installation of localized exhaust for a printer frequently enables the capture of airborne contaminants near their source of generation, and subsequent allows their efficient removal from the building through contained, and relatively low volume air flow. A workspace health and safety professional can provide guidance on the design and use of this auxiliary ventilation equipment. Air conditioning In addition to fresh air ventilation, to avoid health hazards, also consider maintaining workplace ambient levels by assuring the climatic operating conditions specified in this document (see Printer environmental specifications on page 12) to avoid operators' discomfort and equipment malfunction. Air conditioning in the work area should take into account that the equipment produces heat. Typically, the printer's power dissipation is: ● 9 kW (30.7kBTU/h) HP Latex R1000 Printer ● 11 kW (37.5kBTU/h) HP Latex R2000 Printer Air conditioning should meet local environmental, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines and regulations. NOTE: The air conditioning units should not blow air directly onto the equipment. Load bearing The load-bearing characteristics of the floor in the print production area must be sufficient to withstand the weight of your printer. To calculate the load bearing characteristics of the print production floor, you must consult a structural engineer.
