Important Safety
Instructions
Before using this printer, read and follow
these safety instructions:
■
Use only the power cord that comes with
the printer. Use of another cord may cause
fire or shock. Do not use the cord with any
other equipment.
■
Make sure the power cord meets all
relevant local safety standards.
■
Use only the type of power source indicated
on the label.
■
Place the printer near a wall outlet where
the power cord can be easily unplugged.
■
Do not let the power cord become damaged
or frayed.
■
If you use an extension cord with the
printer, make sure the total ampere rating
of the devices plugged into the extension
cord does not exceed the cord's ampere
rating. Also, make sure the total ampere
rating of all devices plugged into the wall
outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's
ampere rating.
■
Avoid locations that are subject to rapid
changes in heat or humidity, shocks or
vibrations, or dust.
■
Leave enough room around the printer for
sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover
openings in the case or insert objects
through the slots.
■
Do not place the printer near a radiator or
heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond its base in all directions. It
will not operate properly if it is tilted or at
an angle.
■
Make sure the back of the printer is at least
10 cm away from the wall.
■
Do not open the scanner unit while
copying, printing, or scanning.
■
Do not touch the white flat cable inside the
printer.
■
Do not spill liquid on the printer.
■
Do not use aerosol products that contain
flammable gases inside or around the
printer. Doing so may cause fire.
■
Except as specifically explained in your
documentation, do not attempt to service
the printer yourself.
■
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: if the power cord or
plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the
printer; if the printer has been dropped or
the case damaged; if the printer does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct
change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating
instructions.
■
When storing or transporting the printer,
do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from
the cartridge.
■
Be careful not to trap your fingers when
closing the scanner unit.
Ink cartridge safety
instructions
■
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of
children and do not drink the ink.
■
Be careful when you handle used ink
cartridges; there may be ink remaining
around the ink supply port. If ink gets on
your skin, wash it off with soap and water.
If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If you still have
discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.
■
Do not put your hand inside the printer or
touch any cartridges during printing.
■
Do not shake ink cartridges after opening
their packages; this can cause leakage.
■
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use,
protect the ink supply area from dirt and
dust and store it in the same environment as
the printer. Note that there is a valve in the
ink supply port, making covers or plugs
unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the
cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink
cartridge, ink supply port, or surrounding
area.
