Important Safety Instructions

Your OKIDATA printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the unit:

Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.

Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer.

Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

The printer must be installed near a power outlet which will remain easily accessible.

The use of an extension cord or power strip with this printer is not recommended or authorized. Check building codes and insurance requirements before using an exten- sion cord or power strip.
