Safety

• If you’re 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. Generally, the total ratings of all
equipment plugged into any one power line should not
exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know
that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a
rating above 15 amperes.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp
cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no
openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put the
printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or
heat register. If you put the printer in any kind of
enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.
• The printhead can get quite hot when it has been
printing for a length of time. Do not touch the printhead
until it has had a chance to cool off.
• Do not use your printer near water. Do not spill liquid
of any kind into it.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the
sides of the printer. You could get a shock or cause a
fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
document, don’t try to service the printer yourself.
Opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards. Don’t make any adjustments other than those
outlined in the document. You might cause damage
requiring extensive repair work.
• If anything happens that indicates that your printer is
not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and have your printer serviced.
These are some of the things to look for:
– The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
– Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the
printer has been exposed to water.
– The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has
been damaged.
– The printer doesn’t function normally when you’re
following the operating instructions.
