•Always use the caster stoppers to stabilize the printer once it is in place to keep it from moving and/or falling over and causing injury. .....................

Other Precautions

•Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and performance of the printer. Install in an air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature: around 20 °C, humidity: around 65 % RH) and avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the printer.

•Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.

•Avoid locations with vibrations.

•When casters are installed on the printer, moving the printer can cause damage to certain floor sur- faces.

■Power Supply/Grounding the Printer

WARNING

•Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock. ..............................

•Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock. ...............

•Always connect the printer to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If ground connection is not possible, contact your service representative. ...................................................

Other Precautions
