-A location exposed to oily smoke or steam; e.g., near a countertop or humidifier.
-A location exposed to rain or snow.
-A location exposed to salty wind.
-A location subject to high temperatures
-A location near open flames
• Do not place the printer in an unstable location; e.g., on a wobbling or inclined table, or a location
subject to frequent vibrations. The printer could fall down or fall over, resulting in personal injury.
• Never place the printer where it will be exposed to rapid changes in temperature, such as indirect
sunlight, near an air conditioner, or in a car on a hot day. This could cause a fire or damage to the printer.
IMPORTANT
• Use the printer in the following operating environment:
Operating environment: 15 to 30 degrees Celsius (59 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit)
RH 10% to 80% (with no condensation)
• If the printer is carried into a warm room on a cold day, this could cause condensation inside the printer. If this
happens, allow the printer to sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature to adapt to the ambient temperature
and humidity.
• To ensure normal operation of the printer and avoid possible damage, do not install the printer near large office
equipment or any other type of electrical device that emits a strong magnetic field.

WARNING
• Do not use any power cord and AC adapter other than those supplied with the printer. Do not use the
supplied AC adapter for any other product. This could cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not bring the power cord and AC adapter near a heating appliance. This could melt the cable sheath
and cause a fire or electric shock.
• To avoid a fire or electrical shock, do not use an extension cord.
• To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, connect the printer power cord to an independent power
outlet that is not shared by other equipment or appliances.
• To avoid causing a fire or serious electrical shock, make sure that the power plug is securely and
