My desk is unfortunately positioned right across from a copier, four fax machines and two gigantic printers (unbelievably enough, I am NOT exaggerating). I’ve always been concerned about whether or not this could have an affect on my health and recently, I found out that I’m pregnant. Now I’m more concerned than ever. Could this equipment, and most notably, their fumes, have any adverse affect on me and my baby?
I worked in a copy center when I first got pregnant with my daughter… I was around and working on/with 3 industrial sized copiers, a fax machine and 2 big printers.. and my daughter came out just fine 
Ask your doctor tho, if you are concerned.
Is it safe to work around printers, copiers and fax machines while pregnant?

They won’t hurt anything.

If they give off fumes that you can actually smell, something is probably wrong with them. If it isn’t strong enough to smell, probably not. Either way, if you are concerned talk to your boss about changing desks or just moving yours. I spent both of my last 2 pregnancies at my desk except when on bedrest. Granted I only have a normal sized printer adn fax….
