General Precautions

WARNING S:

• When cleaning your printer do NOT use organic or strong chemical solvents or aerosol

cleaners. Do NOT pour fluids directly into any area. Use supplies and cleaning materials

only as directed in this documentation. Keep all cleaning materials out of the reach of

children.

• Do NOT use pressurized air-spray cleaning aids on or in the printer. Some pressurized

air-spray containers contain explosive mixtures and are not suitable for use in electrical

applications. Use of such cleaners can result in a risk of explosion and fire.

WARNING : Internal parts of the printer may be hot. Use caution when doors and covers are open.

WARNING : Do NOT remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws. You cannot

maintain or service any parts that are behind these covers and guards. Do NOT attempt any

maintenance procedure that is NOT specifically described in the documentation supplied with

your printer.

To avoid damaging the printer, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not place anything on top of the printer.

• Do not open covers and doors during printing.

• Do not tilt the printer while it is hot.

• Do not touch the electrical contacts or gears. Doing so may damage the printer and cause the

print quality to deteriorate.

• Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in the printer.
