Important Safety Instructions
Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all
electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions
you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging
the printer:
• Read the setup and operating instructions in this
manual 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
in on something unsteady, it might fall and be
damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing
it to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure
no openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put
the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator
or heat register. If you put the printer in any kind of
enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.
• The printhead can get quite hot when it has been
printing for a length of time. Do not touch the
printhead until it has had a chance to cool off.
• 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 a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If
you can not plug it in, chances are that you have an
older, non-grounded outlet; have an electrician
replace it with a grounded outlet. Do not use an
adapter to defeat the grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet
which remains easily accessible.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.
If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it
immediately.
