Oki 10i manual Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

Your Oki printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:

•Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.

•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself.

•Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

•Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked, causing the printer to overheat.

•To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all openings on the printer are not blocked. Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy access to the paper trays.

•Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.

•Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company.

•Your printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature, and it will only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.

•To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

•If you are using an extension cable or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s rating. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13 amperes.

•This printer must be installed near to a power outlet switch which shall remain easily accessible.

•It is recommended that the printer be switched off prior to opening or removing covers

•Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.
