Read all of these instructions before using the printer. Also be sure to follow all warnings
and instructions marked on the printer.
When choosing a place for this product
❏Place this product on a flat, stable surface that is larger than this product. This product
will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep it away
from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.
❏Keep this product away from dusty areas.
❏Place this product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
When setting up this product
❏This product’s power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other equipment
may result in fire or electric shock.
❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the
same circuit as copiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.
❏Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result
in fire or electric shock.
❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

Introduction 7
❏The printer requires two power cables with a combined capacity of 20 A at 100 V or 10
A at 240 V. If the combined capacity can not be supplied by a single outlet, connect the
cables to different outlets with independent power sources.
❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this printer,
the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker.
❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If
there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size
and rating.
When using this product
❏Do not block or cover the openings in this product’s cabinet.
❏Do not insert objects through the slots. Take care not to spill liquid on this product.
❏Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
❏Unplug this product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the
product; the product has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the product does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
❏Always turn the product off using the Power button on the control panel. When this
button is pressed, the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the power
cord or turn off the product until the Power light stops flashing.
❏This device has two power systems. There is a risk of electric shock unless the two
power cables are unplugged during maintenance.
When handling the ink cartridges
❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.
❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal
operation and printing.
❏The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such
as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely.

Introduction 8
❏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 this product. Note that there is a valve in
the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port
or surrounding area.
