SAFETY
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of safe, reliable
performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few
basic precautions that should be taken to avoid personal injury or
damaging the printer:
• Read this user’s guide carefully and save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer
itself.
• Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth. Do
not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean the printer.

ii User’s Guide
• Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the printer is placed on
something unsteady, it may fall and become damaged or injure
someone. If the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a rug,
sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked causing the printer to
overheat.
• Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or
heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough room
around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.
• Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.
• Make sure that the power source matches the rating listed on the
back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with your dealer or
with your local power company.
• This printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature and will
only connect to an earthed outlet. If this plug cannot be connected
to a power outlet, then it is possible that the power outlet is of the
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to have the power
outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
• To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything on it or
place it where it will be walked on. If the cable becomes damaged
or frayed, replace it immediately.
• If an extension cable or power strip is being used with the printer,
make sure that the total of the amperage rating required by all the
equipment is less than the rating of the extension cable or power
strip. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet
should not exceed 13 amperes.
• The power outlet into which the printer is connected must remain
accessible at all times.
• Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces. These are clearly
labelled. Do NOT touch them.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; you
could get a shock or cause a fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this user’s guide,
do not try to service the printer yourself. Opening a cover may
expose you to shocks or other hazards.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in this
user’s guide as damaged may be caused to the printer.

Preface iii
English
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not working properly
or has been damaged, disconnect the printer from the power source and

• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been exposed to
water.
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
• The printer does not function normally when following the
operating instructions.
