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.

•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’s cabinet 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.

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

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée facilement.

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

•If you use an extension cord, 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 of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes. Use of extension cords is not recommended.

•Except as specifically explained in the documentation, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

•Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the equipment has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
