Do not use the printer near water. If you spill liquid on or into the printer, unplug it immediately and call the Customer Care Center (see page 1-4).

Slots and openings in the printer and on the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the printer and to protect it from overheating, do not block or cover these openings. Do not block the openings by placing the printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the printer near a radiator or heat register, nor in a closet or built-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

Operate the printer only from the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label. If you are unsure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

Set up the printer near the electrical outlet you plan to use. Make sure the outlet is easily accessible.

If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

To avoid injury, do not allow children access to the interior of the printer and do not allow them to touch any electrical contacts or gears that are exposed.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate the printer where the cord will be walked on. Make sure the power cord is not knotted or kinked.

Do not push objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the printer. This could result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the printer. If something does fall into it that you cannot remove, unplug the printer immediately and call the Customer Care Center (see page 1-4).
