Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.).

Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.

If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.

Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the printer is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.

If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the printer and refrain from using it. Leaving the printer plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the printer, depending on the thunder storm.

Use the power cable included with the printer.
