Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section before using 
your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and 
instructions marked on the printer.

When setting up your printer

Do not block or cover the vents and openings in 
the printer.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the 
printer’s label.

Use only the power cord that comes with this 
printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or 
electric shock.

Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant 
local safety standard.

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

If you use an extension cord with the printer, make 
sure that the total ampere rating of the devices 
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed 
the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the 
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the 
wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s 
ampere rating.

Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified 
service personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has 
entered the printer; the printer has been dropped 
or the casing damaged; the printer does not 
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in 
performance.

When choosing a place for the printer

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that 
extends beyond the base of the printer in all 
directions. If you place the printer by the wall, 
leave more than 10 cm between the back of the 
printer and the wall. The printer will not operate 
properly if it is tilted at an angle.

When storing or transporting the printer, do not 
tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. 
Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridges.

Avoid places subject to rapid changes in 
temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer 
away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat 
sources.

Leave enough room around the printer to allow 
for sufficient ventilation.

Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug 
can be easily unplugged.

When using the printer

Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.

When using LCD panel

The LCD panel may contain a few small bright or 
dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that 
they are damaged in any way. 

Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel. 
Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers. 

If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is 
damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal 
solution gets on your hands, wash them 
thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid 
crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them 
immediately with water. If discomfort or vision 
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a 
doctor immediately.

When handling the ink cartridges

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. 
Do not allow children to drink from or handle the 
cartridges.

Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause 
leakage.

Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, 
as there may be some ink remaining around the 
ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the 
area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets 
into your eyes, flush them immediately with 
water. If discomfort or vision problems remain 
after a thorough flushing, see a doctor 
immediately.

Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; 
this can cause leakage.

Install the ink cartridge immediately after you 
remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge 
unpacked for a long time before using it, normal 
printing may not be possible. 

Do not touch the green IC chip on the back of the 
cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation 
and printing.
