Safety Information

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

Carefully read all setup and operating instructions. Be sure to save all documents for future reference.

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

Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged.

Avoid overheating the printer. Do not place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed. The vents may be blocked, causing the printer to overheat.

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

Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the printer. If you aren’t sure, check with

your dealer or with your local power company.

Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety feature. It will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you can not plug it in, chances are that you have an older, non- grounded outlet. Contact an electrician to have it replaced with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.

To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

If you’re using an extension cord or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.
