: ashing
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.
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 printer.
Make sure the power cord
meets all relevant local safety
standards.
Do not let the power cord
become damaged or frayed.
Keep the printer away from
direct sunlight or strong light.
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.
Do not shake the ink cartridges
too vigorously; otherwise ink
may leak from the cartridge.
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.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into
your eyes, ush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems continue after a
thorough ushing, see a doctor immediately. If
ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately
and see a doctor right away.
