Safety Information When using power cord and the USB cable
Warning
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. Do not touch the pins of the power
cord plug with any metal objects as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short circuit. This can cause fire, electric shock or injury. Failure to do so may
result in a fire or electric shock.
Before disconnecting the plug, turn the machine off. Make sure your hands are
dry. Hold the plug itself, not its cord, when disconnecting it from the receptacle.
Do not share the power with other high-powered devices, as this may result in fire
or electric shock.
Do not use extension cords as this may result in fire or electric shock.
Always use the correct AC power source. For future transportation and handling,
please keep all packaging materials for this product.
Use only the USB cable that came with your device and avoid abrasions, cuts,
fraying, crimping, and kinking. Using any other USB cable could cause fire,
electrical shock, or injury.
Do not store the cables in the following locations:
Outdoors
Near excessive dirt or dust, water, or heat sources
In locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity,
direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or
humidity
Keep the supplied USB cable, etc., in a location that is out of reach of children to
avoid the risk of injury.
Please put the packaging materials such as the supplied plastic bags in a place
that children cannot obtain or discard them to avoid the risk of suffocation.

x
Caution
If you are not using the device for a long time, remove the USB cable from the
connector.
This product has a power-saving mode and a standby mode. The zero-energy
state can be achieved only when the product is connected without any external
input power.
At least every year, please disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet to
check whether the power cord is exposed, damaged, cracked, dent, hot, pin
deformation or any burnt marks. If these conditions exist, please do not use the
power cord again and contact the authorized service personnel or dealer.
Make sure the power cord is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet, otherwise it
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Be sure to fully plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Failure to completely insert
may cause unstable connections and heat build-up, creating an unsafe condition.
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, be sure to pull the plug,
not the power cord, as this may damage the power cord and cause a fire or
electric shock.
To repair the machine, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Make sure the power cord is firmly secure and will not trip over.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
This printer is a page printer which is operated by means of a LPH (LED Print Head). There is
no possibility of danger from the LPH, provided the printer is operated according to the
instructions in this manual. Since radiation emitted by the laser beam is completely confined
within protective housings and external covers, the laser beams cannot escape from the
machine during any phase of user operation.
