SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THE CAUTION SYMBOL
Whenever the triangular Caution logo appears in this manual, pay special attention to the warning(s) cited
below it. Failure to abide by the warnings may result in injury or damage to property.
PRINTER PLACEMENT TIPS
• Place the printer on a solid, stable,
horizontal surface that is not sub-
ject to strong vibrations from adja-
cent mechanical devices.
• Avoid shaky or slanting tables, or
platforms that are liable to collapse under a heavy
weight. If the printer is dropped or damaged, immedi-
ately turn off the power, pull out the power plug and
contact a service center. In this case, continued use
of the printer may cause a fire or electric shocks.
• Avoid installing the printer in direct sunlight, or in
dusty, very hot or slippery areas. Also avoid place-
ment in damp, unventilated or humid areas. If con-
densation forms, immediately turn off the power, and
do not use the printer until the condensation disap-
pears. Otherwise the moisture may cause electric
shocks.
• Avoid placing the printer near large high-current
equipment, as such equipment can cause spikes or
undervoltages in the power supply.
• Do not leave containers of
water or chemicals around the
printer. If any liquid is spilled
onto the printer, immediately
turn off the power, pull out the
power cable from the AC outlet, and contact a
sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this
case, continued use of the printer may cause
fires or electric shocks.
• Do not move the printer with any paper loaded.
The stack of paper may fall off, causing trips
and accidents.
• When laying the printer down, be careful not to
catch your foot or fingers under it.
• When moving the printer, be sure to pull out the
power cable from the AC outlet, and check that
any other external interface cables have been
disconnected. Otherwise, the connected cables
may be damaged, or may cause trips and falls,
in addition to or a fire or electric shocks.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
• Do not damage, break, or process the power cable.
Hanging heavy objects on it, heating or pulling it may
damage the power cable and cause fires or electric
shocks.
• When the power cable is damaged (cable conductors
are exposed or cut, etc.), contact a sales outlet,
dealer, or service center. In this case, continued use
of the printer may cause fires or electric shocks.
• Do not process, forcibly bend, twist, or pull the power
cable. Continued use of such a cable may cause
fires or electric shocks.
• If the printer emits any smoke or peculiar odors at
any time, turn it OFF and prevent further usage until
you have contacted a qualified service personnel.
• Do not use any other voltage except the specified
power voltage for the printer that matches your
domestic power supply. Otherwise, it may cause
fires or electric shocks.
• Do not operate the power switch or handle the
power cable with a wet hand.
• Do not insert or drop anything metallic or flam-
mable into the openings of the printer (the cable
outlet or mounting hole of the memory car-
tridge). Otherwise, immediately turn off the
power, pull out the power cable, and contact a
sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this
case, continued use of the printer may cause
fires or electric shocks.
• To reduce electrical risks, be
sure to connect the printer to
ground before use. Also, try
not to share the printer’s AC
outlet with other electrical
equipment, especially those that draw high
amounts of current or cause electrical interfer-
ence.
