Setting Up the Printer

  • Because the printer is heavy, one person should not lift or carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the correct positions as shown below. Do not touch the projections on the bottom of the printer that are for connecting an optional paper cassette.

  • When moving the printer, always keep it horizontal.

  • If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical outlet, contact an electrician.

  • Do not connect to an uninterruptible power source. If you connect to one, it may cause malfunctions or damage.

  • Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards. Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock. This product’s power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

  • If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

  • Use a grounded outlet that matches the printer’s power plug. Do not use an adapter plug.

  • Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power can erase valuable information in your computer’s and printer’s memory.

  • Make sure that there is no dust on the socket.

  • Be sure to insert the plug completely into the electrical outlet.

  • Do not handle the plug with wet hands.

  • Unplug this printer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a qualified service representative under the following conditions:

A.

When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B.

If liquid has been spilled into it.

C.

If it has been exposed to rain or water.

D.

If it does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

E.

If it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

F.

If it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

  • Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.

  • Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

  • Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer. Your printer’s power requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer. If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult your dealer.

  • If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.

  • When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

  • Use only optional products, such as the paper cassette units and the printer stand, produced specifically for this product. Using options produced for other products may cause the product to fall over and injure someone.

  • When lifting the printer onto the optional printer stand, be sure to lock the stand’s casters.
