Warning

Cleaning the printer

Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use flammable solvents like alcohol, benzene, thinner, etc.

If a flammable solvent contacts an electrical component inside the printer, this could cause a fire or electric shock.

Always unplug the printer power cord before you clean the printer.

If you mistakenly switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could touch moving components inside the printer and suffer injury.

Maintaining the printer

Never attempt to disassemble or modify the printer.

The printer contains high voltage components which could cause a fire or serious electric shock.

Working around the printer

Never use flammable sprays near the printer.

Gases in the spray could cause a fire or electric shock if they come in contact with electrical components inside the printer.

Caution

Choosing a location

Never set the printer on a surface that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.

The printer could tip or fall and cause injury.

Never use the printer in a location that is subject to high humidity, dust, high temperatures, or direct sunlight.

Set up and use the printer in a location where ambient temperature is within 5°C~35°C (41°F~95°F) and 10%~90% humidity with no condensation.

Never place the printer on a thick carpet or rug.

Fibres or dust entering the printer could cause a fire.

Keep the power outlet for the printer free of all obstacles so you can unplug the power cord at any time.

Such obstacles could prevent you from unplugging the printer when a printer fault occurs and cause a fire or electric shock.
