Read all of these safety instructions before using the printer. In addition, follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
printer itself.
cCaution:
Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.
❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets.
❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
❏If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension
cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere of all devices plugged into the wall outlet
does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
❏Unplug the printer before cleaning it, and always clean it with a piece of damp cloth only.
❏Do not spill liquid onto the printer.
❏Except as specifically explained in this guide, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
i. If the power cord or plug is damaged.
ii. If liquid has entered the printer.
iii. If the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
iv. If the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Choosing a Place for the Printer
❏Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.
❏Do not block or cover the slots and openings in the printer’s cabinet, and do not insert objects through the slots.
❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or placed at an angle.
❏Place the printer where you can easily connect it to a network interface cable, if necessary.
❏Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.
❏Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Keep it away from direct
sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.
❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the
base units of cordless telephones.
❏Avoid electrical outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption in power can erase information in the
memory of your printer or computer. Also avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause
voltage fluctuations.
❏Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
❏If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
• Use a stand that can support at least 28 kg (61.7 lb).
• Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be kept level.
• Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure the
cables to a leg of the printer stand.
