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 printer:
•Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself.
•Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing the printer to overheat.
•To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all openings on the printer are not blocked. Don’t put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy access to the paper trays.
