Setting Up the Printer

  • Do not move the printer by yourself.

  • Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.

  • Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

  • Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

  • Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.

  • Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder).

  • Leave enough space in front of the printer and to the left and right to perform printing and maintenance.

  • Be sure the 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 the power cord that comes with your printer has a grounding pin, connect the printer to a grounded outlet. Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

  • Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.

  • Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

  • Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

  • Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

  • Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

  • Avoid positioning the power cord in a way that may cause abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, or kinking. Do not place objects on top of the power cord and do not allow the power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep the power cord straight at the ends.

  • If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.

  • If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.

  • When using the optional booklet finisher, use a power cord for the printer and another power cord for the booklet finisher. The rated current of the printer is 9 A, and the booklet finisher is 10 A. Connect the power cords to a power supply with a capacity larger than the total rated current. If the total rated current exceeds the power capacity, connect each power cord to a separate power source with an independent switchboard breaker.
