Important Safety Instructions

Before using your EPSON product, read and follow these safety instructions:
■Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
■Use only the type of power source indicated on the product label.
■Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause fires or
shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.
■Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air
conditioning 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. Place it to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying,
crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or
run over. Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end.
■If you use an extension cord with the product, 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.
■Always turn off the product using the Ppower button, and wait until the Ppower light stops
flashing before unplugging the product or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.
■If you won’t be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.

not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
■Make sure the back of the product is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
■Allow space behind the printer for the cables, and space above the printer so that you can fully

dust.
