Important Safety Instructions
Before using your printer, read these safety instructions to make sure you use the printer safely and
effectively:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or
electric shock.
■ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
■ Place the printer near a wall outlet where it can be easily unplugged.
■ Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
■ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
■ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
■ Keep your printer and computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base units.
■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity, shocks or
vibrations, or dust.
■ Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation.
■ Don’t place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight or strong light.
■ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the printer base in all directions.
The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Leave enough space in front of
the printer for paper to be fully ejected.
■ Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill
liquid on the printer.

switch off the power strip, or unplug the printer until the green power light is off.
■ Do not block the openings in the printer’s case or insert objects in the slots.

■ Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been
dropped or the case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
