Safety Warnings and Precautions

Before using this printer, please read this section thoroughly. Warnings to heed and 
important matters are described here to prevent user injury and printer damage.

Do not attempt to operate this printer in any way other than those mentioned in the User 
Guide.

Location

Make sure there is sufficient space around the printer.

Warning

•

Never place items on the printer. If such items were to fall on the printer, this could 
cause a fire, electrical shock, or damage to the printer.

•

The electrical contacts inside the printer become extremely hot during normal 
operation. To avoid causing a fire, never store flammable substances like alcohol, 
thinner, etc. near the printer.

Caution

Avoid using the printer in the following types of locations.

•

Where the printer is exposed to open air or high humidity. This could cause a fire, 
serious electrical shock, or damage to the printer. Also, if the printer is carried into 
a warm room on a cold day, this could cause condensation inside the printer. If this 
happens, allow the printer to sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature to adapt to 
the ambient temperature and humidity.

•

Never place the printer on a slanted or unstable stand or table. If the printer is 
dropped or slides off, this could cause personal injury.

•

Never expose the printer to dust. This could cause a fire, serious electrical shock, 
or damage to the printer. Also, never locate the printer near a water faucet or in any 
other location where it will be exposed to water. This could cause serious electrical 
shock.

•

Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight, high 
temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

Use the printer in an environment where temperature and humidity are within the 
ranges of 41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 35 degrees Celsius) and 20% to 80% 
RH (with no condensation).

•

Never block the ventilation ports on the printer. A blocked ventilation port could 
cause heat to build up inside the printer and cause a fire. Also, place the printer in 
an area where you can disconnect the power cord immediately; keep the area 
around the power cord connection free of obstacles. This allows you to unplug the 
power cord quickly in an emergency.
