Safety instructions
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions
that should be taken to avoid personal injury or
damaging the printer:
•
Read this setup guide carefully and save it for
future reference.
•
Read and follow all warning and instruction
labels on the printer itself.
•
Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners to clean the printer.
•
Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked
causing the printer to overheat.
•
Do not 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.
•
Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid
of any kind into it.
•
Make sure that the power source matches the
rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are
not sure, check with your dealer or with your
local power company.
•
This printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety
feature and will only connect to an earthed outlet.
If this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an
adapter to defeat the earthing.
•
To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,
replace it immediately.
•
If an extension cable or power strip is being used
with the printer, make sure that the total of the
amperage rating required by all the equipment is
less than the rating of the extension cable or
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13
amperes.
