Using the Printer Properly
To ensure the optimum performance of the printer, follow the precautions listed below.
•
Never place a heavy object on the printer.
•
Never subject the printer to shocks.
•
Never open any doors or turn the printer off while the printer is making printings.
•
Never bring any magnetized object near the printer.
•
Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the printer.
•
Never modify the printer, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
•
Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The printer contains high
voltage components which can cause electrical shock.
•
Never tamper with the laser mechanism on laser-equipped models, as blindness or
other injury may result.
•
Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or
other openings in the printer, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
•
Never place containers of liquid on the printer. If liquids get inside the printer, they
can cause fire or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the
printer, immediately turn the printer off, unplug the power cord and call your
technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the printer remains
plugged in or is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.
•
Never leave the printer running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an
unusual odor or noise is detected. Should any of these conditions occur,
immediately turn the printer off, unplug the power cord and call your technical
representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the printer remains plugged in
under any of these conditions.
•
Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
•
Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the printer or printer cabinet.
•
Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous
printings.
•
Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power
cord. A damaged cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.
•
Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.
•
Always unplug the power cord before moving the printer. Moving the printer with
the power cord plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an
electrical shock.
•
Always unplug the power cord when the printer is not going to be used for a long
time.
•
Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or
electrical shock can result.
•
Always ensure that the printer does not sit on or move onto the power cord or
communications cable of other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment
or a fire could result.
•
Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical
equipment does not become wedged into the printer mechanism, as malfunctioning
equipment or a fire could result.
