Basic printing procedures WARNING If a foreign object gets inside the printer, immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, and contact the place of purchase or a qualified technician. If you continue to use the printer while there is a foreign object inside, it may result in fire or electric shocks or problems with correct operation.
Page 114 Basic printing procedures CAUTION This printer should only be used by operators who are appropriately trained in its safe operation. Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the printer and avoid placing any objects. Otherwise your hand may get caught between the platen and an object, which may result in injury. Do not handle the platen while printing.
