Do not block or cover the vents and openings in
the printer.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the

electric shock.
■
Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant
local safety standard.

If you use an extension cord with the printer, make
sure that the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed
the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the

extends beyond the base of the printer in all
directions. If you place the printer by the wall,
leave more than 10 cm between the back of the

Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.
When using LCD panel
■
The LCD panel may contain a few small bright or
dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that
they are damaged in any way.
■
Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel.
Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.
■
If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is
damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal
solution gets on your hands, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid
crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or vision
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a
doctor immediately.
When handling the ink cartridges
■
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not allow children to drink from or handle the
cartridges.
■
Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause
leakage.
■
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges,
as there may be some ink remaining around the
ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the
area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with
water. If discomfort or vision problems remain
after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
■
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge;
this can cause leakage.
■
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you
remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge
unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
■
Do not touch the green IC chip on the back of the
cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation
and printing.
