Please read the following information carefully before

installing and using the printer

THE CAUTION SYMBOL

Whenever the triangular Caution logo appears in this manual, pay special attention to the warning(s) cited below it. Failure to abide by the warnings may result in injury or damage to property.

PRINTER PLACEMENT TIPS

•Place the printer on a solid, stable, horizontal sur- face that is not subject to strong vibrations from adja- cent mechanical devices.

•Avoid shaky or slanting tables, or platforms that are liable to collapse under a heavy weight. If the printer is dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power, pull out the power plug and contact a service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause a fire or electric shocks.

•Avoid installing the printer in direct sunlight, or in dusty, very hot or slippery areas. Also avoid place- ment in damp, unventilated or humid areas. If con- densation forms, immediately turn off the power, and do not use the printer until the condensation disap- pears. Otherwise the moisture may cause electric shocks.

•Avoid placing the printer near large high-current equipment, as such equipment can cause spikes or undervoltages in the power supply.

•Do not leave containers of water or chemicals around the printer. If any liquid is spilled onto the printer, immediately turn off the power, pull out the power cable from the AC outlet, and contact a sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause fires or electric shocks.

•Do not move the printer with any paper loaded. The stack of paper may fall off, causing trips and accidents.

•When laying the printer down, be careful not to catch your foot or fingers under it.

•When moving the printer, be sure to pull out the power cable from the AC outlet, and check that any other external interface cables have been disconnected. Otherwise, the connected cables may be damaged, or may cause trips and falls, in addition to or a fire or electric shocks.

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS

•Do not damage, break, or process the power cable. Hanging heavy objects on it, heating or pulling it may damage the power cable and cause fires or electric shocks.

•When the power cable is damaged (cable conductors are exposed or cut, etc.), contact a sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause fires or electric shocks.

•Do not process, forcibly bend, twist, or pull the power cable. Continued use of such a cable may cause fires or electric shocks.

•If the printer emits any smoke or peculiar odors at any time, turn it OFF and prevent further usage until you have contacted a qualified service personnel.

•Do not use any other voltage except the specified power voltage for the printer that matches your domestic power supply. Otherwise, it may cause fires or electric shocks.

•Do not operate the power switch or handle the power cable with a wet hand.

•Do not insert or drop anything metallic or flam- mable into the openings of the printer (the cable outlet or mounting hole of the memory car- tridge). Otherwise, immediately turn off the power, pull out the power cable, and contact a sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause fires or electric shocks.

•To reduce electrical risks, be sure to connect the printer to ground before use. Also, try not to share the printer’s AC outlet with other electri- cal equipment, especially those that draw high amounts of current or cause electrical interfer- ence.
