Safety Instructions
Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe,
reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there
are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in the Quick Setup guide carefully. Be
sure to save it 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 bed, the vents may be blocked, causing the
printer to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all openings
on the printer are not blocked. Don’t 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 to the paper trays.
• Do not use your printer near water, or 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’re not sure, check with your dealer or
with your local power company.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety feature, and it
will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you can’t plug it in, chances
are you have an older, non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to
have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which remains
easily accessible.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, don’t 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 on the printer; you
could get a shock or cause a fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in the on-line manual,
don’t try to service the printer yourself; opening the cover may expose
you to shocks or other hazards.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the on-
line manual: you may cause damage requiring extensive repair work.
See the on line manual for information on how to get your printer
serviced by qualified OKI technicians, or call 1-800-OKI-DATA
for the location of your nearest service center.
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 on-line manual for having 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 printer, or it 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.
