Important Safety Precautions

General Precautions


Never place the printer on a slanted or unstable stand or table. If the
printer is dropped or slides off, this could cause personal injury.

Never locate the printer near a water faucet or in any other location where
it will be exposed to water. This could cause serious electrical shock.

Place the printer in a location that meets the specified ranges of
temperature and humidity. If the printer is either too cold or too hot, it may
not operate normally. Operating environment: 5 - 50°C (41 - 122°F) RH 10
- 90% (with no condensation).

Place the printer in an area where you can disconnect the power cord
immediately; keep the area around the power cord connection free from
obstacles. This allows you to unplug the power cord quickly in an
emergency.

Power Supply and Power Cord

To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or damage to the
printer:

Always use the power cord provided with this printer. To avoid a fire or
electrical shock, do not use an extension cord.

Connect the printer power cord to an independent power source that is not
shared by other equipment or appliances.

Make sure that the power plug is securely and completely inserted into the
power source.

Do not cut, damage, or otherwise alter the power cord. Never place a
heavy object on the power cord, never expose it to heat, and never pull the
cord to disconnect it. If the power cord is damaged in any way
(condensation on exposed wires, broken wires, etc.) contact customer
service where you purchased the printer.

Never handle the power cord or plug when your hands are wet.

Never knot the power cord or wrap it around itself.

To avoid a fire hazard, occasionally disconnect the power cord from the
printer and the power supply, and use a soft dry cloth to clean the cord
connectors and the connection points. Leaving the cord plugged in and not
cleaned for a long period, especially in an area subject to dust, oil, and
high humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate.

Turn off the main power before removing the power plug from the outlet.

Check the power plug and cord for any problem (abnormal heat, rust,
bend, cracks, scratches, etc.) at least once a month.

If any problem is found with the power plug or cord, contact customer
service regarding a replacement cord/
