Safety Instructions
Your Oki printer has been carefully designed to give you
years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you
should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully.
Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on
the printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp
cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it
on something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if
you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed,
the vents may become blocked, causing the printer to
overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all
openings on the printer are not blocked. Do not put the
printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or
heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough
room around the printer for adequate ventilation and
easy access to the paper trays.
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating
listed on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check
with your dealer or with your local power company.
• Your printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature,
and it will only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not
plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-earthed
outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced.
Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
• To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• If you are using an extension cable or power strip with
the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes
required by all the equipment on the extension is less than
the extension’s rating. The total ratings of all equipment
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13 amperes.
• This printer must be installed near to a power outlet
switch which shall remain easily accessible.
• It is recommended that the printer be switched off prior
to opening or removing covers
• Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots on the
printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.
