Important Safety Instructions

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

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

Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock.

The printer’s power cord is for use with the printer only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.

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

Avoid electrical 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.

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

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.

Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

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

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 connecting the printer 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.

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.

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. If you place the printer by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak.

Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

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

Avoid places subject to dust, shocks, or vibrations.

Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.

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

Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.

Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.

Do not touch the white flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.

Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around this printer. Doing so may cause fire.

Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

Always turn the printer off using the  power button. When this button is pressed, the  power light flashes. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the  power light stops flashing.

Before transporting the printer, make sure that the transportation lock is set to the unlocked position and the print head is in the home (far right) position.

Refill ink when the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank. Continued use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer.

Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or handle them.

Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after removing its seal; this can cause leakage.

Be careful not to touch any ink when you handle the ink tanks, ink tank caps, and opened ink bottles or ink bottle caps. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

Do not disassemble or remodel the ink tanks, ink tank unit and ink tubes, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.

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

Store ink bottle in a cool, dark place.

When storing or transporting an ink bottle after removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
