connectioncouldcauseelectricshockorfire.
Avoidoverstressingoutletsandusingextensioncords.Theoutletcould
overheatandcauseafire.
Donotdamage,destroy,bundle,oralterthepowercord.Also,placing
heavyobjectson,pullingon,orbendingthecordexcessivelycan
damagethecordandcauseafire.
Donotblockthevents.Headcouldbuildupintheprinterandcausea
malfunctionorfire.
Donotstandorplaceheavyobjectsontheprinter.Also,donotuse
excessiveforceonthebuttons,switches,terminals,etc.Thiscould
breaktheprinterandcauseinjurytotheuserorothers.
Becarefultoavoidinjuryordamagesfromtheedgesintheprinter.
Donotusethisprinterforapplicationswheremalfunctioncouldbe
life‐threatening(suchasmedical,space,aeronautic,orother
applicationsthatrequireextremereliability).

Theprinterweighsapproximately31lb(14kg).Whenmovingthe
printer,liftinawaythatavoidsexcessivephysicalstress.Lifting
recklesslyordroppingtheprintercouldcauseinjury.
Locatetheprinterasclosetoanoutletaspossible,andalloweasy
accesstounplugthepowercordincaseofproblems.
Ifthereisdustontheplug,cleanitoffthoroughly.Itcouldcause
electricchockorashort‐out.
Ifmetalobjectsofliquidshavefallenintotheprinter,andthereis
smoke,astrangeodor,oranyotherapparentabnormality,
immediatelyturnthepowerOFF,andunplugthepowercord.Then
contactaservicerepresentative.Donotcontinueusingtheprinterifit
isNOToperatingproperly.Thiscouldcauseshock,shortcircuit,orfire.

Besuretoattachtheground.Otherwisetheprintercouldshort‐circuit
causingelectricshockorfire.

Solving Media Errors
1. ReleasetheOpenLever,andopenthefrontcover.
2. Removetheribbon.
a. Ifthepaperisjammed:
1. Pulloutanypaperremainingintheprinter,andcutoffanywrinkledorpartiallyprinted
areasevenlywithscissors.Printingoveranareathathasalreadybeenprinteduponwill
maketheribbonstick,andthepaperwilljamagain.
Whenpullingthepaperout,pullitslowly.Applicationoftoomuchforcecandamagethe
printer.
