Safety Instructions 10
❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been
dropped or the casing damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a
distinct change in performance.
❏When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the
correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation.
Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by
the cable.
❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If
there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size
and rating.
❏Do not hold the duplex unit when you lift the printer to prevent the duplex unit from
becoming detached. Also, make sure that the duplex unit is attached correctly after
setting up the printer.
Choosing a Place for the Printer
Observe the following when choosing a place for the printer:
❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in
all directions. If you place the printer by the wall, leave at least 4 inches (10 cm)
between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if it is
tilted at an angle.
❏When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside
down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the ink packs.
❏Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.
❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the
printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.
❏Avoid places subject to dust, shocks, or vibrations.
❏Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.
❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
