Precautions

On safety

• Be careful not to set or drop any

heavy objects on the power cord, or
to damage the power cord in any
way. Never operate this printer with
a damaged power cord.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the printer
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.

• Never disassemble the printer.
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it

out by the plug. Never pull the
power cord itself.

• When the printer is not going to be

used for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.

• Do not handle the printer roughly.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

always unplug the printer from the
electrical outlet before cleaning and
servicing the printer.

On installation

• Avoid placing the printer in a

location subject to:

– vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
– extremely high or low

temperatures

• Do not use electrical equipment near

the printer. The printer will not work
properly in electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

printer.

• Leave enough room around the

printer so that the ventilation holes
are not blocked. Blocking these holes
may cause internal heat build-up.

On moisture condensation

If the printer is brought directly from a
cold location to a warm location or
placed in an extremely warm or humid
room, moisture may condense inside the
unit. In such cases the printer will
probably not work properly and may
even develop a fault if you persist in
using it. If moisture condensation
occurs, unplug the AC power cord of the
printer and do not use the printer for at
least one hour.

On transport

When you transport the printer, remove
the print cartridge, paper tray, the
memory card from the printer and put
the printer and its peripherals in the
original box with the protective
packaging.
If you no longer have the original box
and packing parts, use similar packing
material so that the printer will not be
damaged while being transported.
