Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling the printer.
Wear goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them with fresh water and see
a doctor immediately.
If ink comes in contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If irritation occurs, contact a
physician.
A lithium battery is installed on the main board of this printer. Be sure to observe the following instructions
when servicing the battery:


Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so electrodes of opposite polarity do not
come in contact with each other.


Do not heat the battery or place it in or near fire.


Do not use solder on any part of the battery. Doing so may result in leakage of electrolytes, burning,
or explosion.


Do not charge the battery. An explosion may occur.


Do not dismantle the battery. The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat. Leakage, burning, or
explosion also may result.


Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. This may cause burning or explosion.

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and regulations.
