Printer Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to your printer and harm to you or others:

oSet the printer on a stable surface. Do not use an angled printer stand. Avoid setting the printer in direct sunlight.

oKeep the front cover closed when printing.

oDo not set anything on top of the printer.

oMake sure the power is off any time you connect or disconnect the AC adapter or interface cable.

oDo not unplug the AC adapter unnecessarily.

oDo not unplug the printer or turn off a power strip to which the printer is attached when the printer's power is turned on. This may prevent the print head unit from returning to the home position on the right and being capped, which may cause the print head to dry out. This is critical. If left uncapped, the print head may clog and may need to be replaced.

oDo not move the mechanism that holds the BJ cartridges. Attempting to move the BJ cartridge holder may damage delicate mechanical parts.

oIt's a good idea to use a power surge protector. However, never tun off the printer using the power strip. Always use the POWER button on the printer.
