Okidata, division of Oki America, Inc. (Okidata)
warrants this printer to be free from defect in material
and workmanship and will remedy any such defect
according to the terms of this Limited Warranty.
Okidata will repair (or at its option, replace) at no charge,
any defective component(s) of the Printer for one (1)
year from the date of purchase except for the printhead
(LED imaging array), which is warranted for a period
of five (5) years from date of purchase. This Limited
Warranty extends to the original purchaser only. This
Limited Warranty does not extend to consumable items.
To make request or claim for service under this Limited
Warranty the original purchaser has the option to
implement the overnight exchange procedure (U.S and
Canada only; see Overnight Exchange) or return the
OKIPAGE product, shipping prepaid, in the original
shipping container or equivalent, to Okidata or an
authorized Okidata service center and assume the risk
of loss or damage in transit. A written receipt for the
product, showing the date of purchase, dealer’s name,
and both the model and serial numbers of this printer
must accompany any request or claim for work to be
performed under this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty shall not apply if the product
has been damaged due to abuse, misuse, misapplication,
accident, or as a result of service or modification by
any other than an authorized Okidata service center.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER

✔ Available in the United States and Canada
If you choose to use our Overnight Exchange service,
call 1-800-OKIDATA: our trained personnel will try to
solve your problem over the phone. If they determine
that your printer hardware is defective, an exchange
printer will be shipped to you via air express. Have
your credit card available as our representative will be
asking for this information. You will receive the
exchange printer the next business day—or no later
than the second business day.
Return the original printer to Okidata by using the same
packaging materials you received with the exchange
printer. The printer to be returned must be made
available for pickup by Okidata’s representative within
2 business days of your receipt of the exchange printer:
failure to do so may result in your being charged the
full price of the exchange unit . Before you ship the
printer, remove the image drum and toner cartridge to
prevent damage to the printer during shipment: failure
to do so may result in a fee for cleaning/repairs which
will be charged to your account.
When Overnight Exchange is used, the returned
machine becomes the property of Okidata. Exchange
machines may be new or repaired, at the option of
Okidata: the exchange machine becomes the property
of the customer when the returned machine has been
picked up by Okidata’s designated carrier. The
exchange printer will be warranted for thirty (30) days
or the remaining warranty period of the returned printer,
whichever is longer.
Overnight Exchange of the printer for a printhead failure
is limited to one year from date of purchase. For the
remaining printhead warranty period, replacement will
be at an authorized service center or authorized third
party service organization. Call 1-800-OKIDATA for
authorized service locations.

Your Okidata printer has been carefully designed to
give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with
all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic
precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself
or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in the Quick Setup guide
carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels
on the printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a
damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you
put it on something unsteady, it may fall and be
damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing
the printer to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure
all openings on the printer are not blocked. Don’t
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 to the paper trays.
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating
listed on the back of the printer. If you’re not sure,
check with your dealer or with your local power
company.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If
you can’t plug it in, chances are you have an older,
non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to have
the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat
the grounding.

• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which
remains easily accessible.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, don’t put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.
If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it
immediately.
• If you are using an extension cord or power strip
with the printer, make sure that the total of the
amperes required by all the equipment on the
extension is less than the extension’s rating. The total
ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet
should not exceed 15 amperes.
• 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 the
online manual, don’t try to service the printer
yourself; opening the cover may expose you to
shocks or other hazards.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those
outlined in the online manual: you may cause
damage requiring extensive repair work. See the
online manual for information on how to get your
printer serviced by qualified OKIDATA technicians,
or call 1-800-OKIDATA for the location of your
nearest service center.
If anything happens that indicates that your printer is
not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and follow the procedures in the online
manual for having your printer serviced.
These are some of the things to look for:
• The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been
exposed to water.
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is
damaged.
