Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners, thinner, trichloroethylene, benzine, ketone or similar chemicals. Instead use a damp

Do not use this product near water or where a chemical reaction can occur such as in a
laboratory or where there is a lot of oil, dust, salt or iron particles.
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing
serious damage to the product and people around it.
Slots and openings on the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, do not block
or cover these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat source. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless
proper ventilation is provided.
This product should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power
company.
This product is equipped with a three-pronged plug, a plug having a third grounding pin. This
plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord
will be walked on. Do not pull on the power cord or data cables or keep them under tension.
If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings
on the products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere
rating. Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not
exceed 7.5 amperes for 220/240V outlet and 15 amperes for a 120V outlet.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Except as explained elsewhere in this manual, don't attempt to service or disassemble this
product yourself. Opening and removing those covers that are marked “Do Not Remove” may
expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing on those
compartments to service personnel.
The mains plug on this equipment must be used to disconnect mains power. Please ensure
that the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid, aerosol chemicals or other chemicals have been spilled into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water or excessive humidity.
d. If the product 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 the product has been dropped or knocked or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
Discard or safely store the plastic packing bag. This bag should be kept away from children.
If the bag is pulled over child's head, it may cause suffocation.
Make sure if you open the top cover, it is opened all the way. If only partially open, the cover
could slam shut, possibly causing injury.
When the cover is open, be careful of the corners of cover. They could cause injury.
Do not open the printer during printing.
Operate the control panel properly. A careless, rough handling may cause problems or
malfunction. Do not use such sharp-edged tool as a ballpoint for operation.
If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug the power cord
from the outlet.
