Safety Instructions

Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. Tilting or placing the printer at an angle may adversely affect the print quality.

Do not place the printer on a soft, unstable surface like a bed or a sofa, or in a small, enclosed area, as this restricts ventilation.

Do not block or cover the slots and openings in the printer’s cabinet, and do not insert objects through the slots.

Leave adequate room around the printer for easy operation and maintenance.

Place the printer where you can easily connect it to a interface cable, if necessary.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label. If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult your dealer.

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

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

The power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, kinking, and other damage.

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

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.

Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.

Avoid using or storing the printer in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep it away from direct sunlight, strong light, heat sources, or excessive moisture or dust.

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

Place the printer near a wall outlet where you can easily unplug the power cord.

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

Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. An interruption in power can erase information in the memory of your printer or computer. Also, avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause voltage fluctuations.

Use a grounded power outlet; do not use an adapter plug.

If you plan to use a printer stand, follow these guidelines:
- Use a stand that can support at least twice the weight of the printer.
- Never use a stand that tilts the printer. The printer should always be kept level.
- Position your printer’s power cord and interface cable so they do not interfere with paper feeding. If possible, secure the cables to a leg of the printer stand.

Unplug the printer before cleaning it, and always clean it with a damp cloth only.

Do not spill liquid onto the printer.

Do not attempt to service the printer yourself except as specifically explained in this manual.

Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
i. If the power cord or plug is damaged.
ii. If liquid has entered the printer.
iii. If the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
iv. If the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Do not use aerosol blowers which contain flammable gas inside or around this product. Doing so may cause fire.

Adjust only those controls that are covered in this manual.

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the user documentation. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage requiring extensive repair by a qualified technician.

Do not connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that has the wrong voltage for your printer.

When the printer encounter difficulties, turn off the printer, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

For best results, shake the ink cartridge four or five times.

Use an ink cartridge prior to the date printed on the cartridge carton.

Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.

Do not disassemble or modify the ink cartridge; otherwise, you may not be able to print normally.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.

Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing.The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge related-information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in the same environment as this product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.
