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, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning 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 or touch the ink cartridges during printing.

Do not touch the white flat cable 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  button. When this button is pressed, the  light flashes. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the  light stops flashing.

Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are in place.
