Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use the
printer safely. Do not attempt to use the printer in any way not described in this manual.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety precautions.
Choosing a location
Do not place the printer close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supply
Never attempt to plug in or unplug the printer from the power supply when your hands are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist
the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power
cord.
Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with
other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter,
etc.).
Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately unplug the
printer at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off
any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. If
the printer is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust,
smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug
absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the printer and refrain from using it. Leaving
the printer plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the printer, depending on the
thunder storm.
Use the power cable included with the printer.
Cleaning the printer
Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use flammable
solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical
components inside the printer, it could cause a fire or electric
shock.
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.
If you accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the
printer.
