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

❏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.
❏If you use an extension cord with this product,
make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total
ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall
outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere
rating.
❏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.

❏This device has two power systems. There is a risk of
electric shock unless the two power cables are
unplugged during the 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.
❏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.
