AND MAINTENANCE
The following section on troubleshooting and maintenance is intended only
as a brief guide to these functions. Remember that your printer is a highly
sophisticated electronic device, which also contains high voltage inside. For
that reason, only carry out those operations described in this chapter.
CAUTION: Any attempt to carry out operations other than those described
here may result in electric shock and/or damage to the printer.
When carrying out any repairs or maintenance, always follow
the instructions carefully.
