E-3Pacemark 4410 Setup Guide
Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe,
reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, there are a few
basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the printer:
• Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual 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 in on something
unsteady, it might 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
it to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no openings on
the printer are blocked. Do not put the printer on or near a heat
source, such as a radiator or heat register. If you put the printer in any
kind of enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.
• The printhead can get quite hot when it has been printing for a length
of time. Do not touch the printhead until it has had a chance to cool
off.
• 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 are 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 not plug it in, chances
are that you have an older, non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician
to have it replaced with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to
defeat the grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which will remain
easily accessible.
Safety

E-4 Pacemark 4410 Setup Guide
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not 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’re 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. Generally, the
total ratings of all equipment plugged into any one power line should
not exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know that the
power line your equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15
amperes.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the sides of the
printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in Section 2 of the on-
line Pacemark 4410 User’s Guide, don’t try to service the printer
yourself; opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards. Don’t make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
Pacemark 4410 User’s Guide - you might cause damage requiring
extensive repair work.
• If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not working
properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and follow the
procedures in Section 4 of your on-line Pacemark 4410 User’s Guide
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 housing, or the printer has been
exposed to water.
- The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has been damaged.
- The printer doesn’t function normally when you’re following the
operating instructions.
