Before using your WorkForce 40 Series, read and follow these safety instructions:

■Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

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

■Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may cause

fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

■Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■If you won’t be using the printer for a long period, unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

■Always turn off the printer using the Ppower button, and wait until the Ppower

light stops flashing before unplugging the printer or cutting off power to the electrical

outlet.

■Avoid plugging the printer into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air

control system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall

switch or timer.

■Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

■If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the

devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.

Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does

not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

■Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or

vibrations, or dust.

■Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or

cover openings in the case or insert objects through the slots.

■Do not place or store the printer near a radiator or heating vent, in a dusty or moist

environment, in direct sunlight, or outdoors.

■Keep the printer away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as

loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

■Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the

printer. Doing so may cause fire.
