Safety Information
Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid
hurting yourself or damaging the printer.
• Carefully read the provided setup and operating instructions.
• Save all provided documentation for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on
something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged. If you place
it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or cushion, the vents
may be blocked, causing the printer to overheat.
• Protect your printer from overheating. Make sure no
obstructions block the openings of the printer. Do not put the
printer on or near a heat source (such as a radiator or heat
register). Keep the printer out of direct sunlight. Allow enough
room around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy
access to the paper trays. If you put the printer in any kind of
enclosure, make sure the enclosure is properly ventilated.
• Do not use your printer near water. Do not spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your 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.
• Your printer has a grounded, three-prong plug as a safety
feature. This plug only fits into a grounded outlet. If the plug
does not fit, the outlet may be an older, non-grounded type.
Contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use
an adapter to defeat the grounding.
• Install the printer near an easily accessed power outlet.
• Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not put anything on it or
place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes
damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• If you are using an extension cord or power strip with the
printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all
the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s
rating. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the
outlet should not exceed 15 amperes.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots of the printer.
You could get an electrical shock or cause hazardous electrical
arcing, which could cause a fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in the
documentation, do not try to service the printer yourself.
Removing the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
documentation. You may cause damage that will require
extensive repair work. The provided documentation explains
how to get your printer serviced by qualified Oki Data
technicians.
If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately
and follow the procedures in the provided documentation for
having your printer serviced.
Here are some of the things to look for.
• The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or the printer has been
exposed to water.
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
• The printer does not function normally when you are
following the operating instructions.
