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

❏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.
