Important Safety Instructions

Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the equipment safely and effectively.

Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer.

Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heating vent. Avoid areas subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity or shock and vibrations.

Do not place the printer near a window or in direct sunlight. Bright light can interfere with the paper sensors, causing paper jams and related problems.

Keep the entire system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

Place the printer on a flat surface. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

Do not block or cover the openings in the printer case or insert objects through the slots.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the label.

Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. Do not use outlets controlled by wall switches or timers.
