Important Safety Instructions
Use only the power cord that
comes with the printer. Use of
another cord may cause re or
shock. Do not use the cord with
any other equipment.
Make sure the power cord
meets all relevant local safety
standards.
Place the printer near a wall
outlet where the power cord
can be easily unplugged.
Use only the type of power
source indicated on the label.
Do not let the power cord
become damaged or frayed.
Do not open the scanner unit
while copying, printing, or
scanning.
Do not use aerosol products
that contain ammable gases
inside or around the printer.
Doing so may cause re.
Except as specically explained
in your documentation, do not
attempt to service the printer
yourself.
Keep ink cartridges out of the
reach of children and do not
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your skin, wash
it o with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, ush them
immediately with water. If
you still have discomfort or
vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.
Do not shake ink cartridges
after opening their packages;
this can cause leakage.
If you remove an ink cartridge
for later use, protect the ink
supply area from dirt and
dust and store it in the same
environment as the printer. Do
not touch the ink supply port
or surrounding area.
