Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these safety instructions before using the printer. In addition, follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer itself.

Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.

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

Do not block or cover the slots and openings in the printer’s cabinet, and do not insert objects through the slots.

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

Connect all equipment to properly grounded electrical outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere of all devices plugged into the electrical outlet does not exceed the electrical outlet’s ampere rating.

Unplug the printer before cleaning it, and always clean it with a damp cloth only.

Do not spill liquid onto the printer.

Except as specifically explained in the user 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 printer has been dropped or damaged, if it does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
