avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully.

the printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp

the vents may become blocked, causing the printer to
overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all
openings on the printer are not blocked. 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 to the paper trays.
