Safety Precautions
Read the safety warnings and instructions carefully to ensure that you use your
printer safely. Do not attempt to use your printer in any way other than described in
this guide.
• Ensure the power supply source is rated for the printer: AC 100–240 V,
50/60 Hz.
• Never attempt to plug in or unplug the printer from the power supply when your
hands are wet.
• Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other equipment
(extension lead/ cord, 2- or 3- way adapter, etc.).
• Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
• Never try to remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
• Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do
not use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
• If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer,
immediately unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.
• Periodically, unplug the power cable from the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe
off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet.
If the printer is exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, dust collected
on the plug will absorb moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Serious shock hazard leading to death or injury may result if you do not take the
following precautions:
•
Ensure that the AC power outlet (mains) has a protective earth (ground)
terminal.
•
Disconnect the printer from the power source prior to performing any
troubleshooting procedures.
•
Prevent water or any other liquids from running onto electrical components or
circuits, or through openings in the enclosure.
