Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section before using your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

When setting up your printer

■

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 this printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock.

■

Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.

■ 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.

When choosing a place for the printer

■ 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, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down.

Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridges.

■ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

■ 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.

When using the printer

Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.

When using LCD panel

■ The LCD panel may contain a few small bright or dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that they are damaged in any way.

■ Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel.

Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

■ If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

When handling the ink cartridges

■

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

Do not allow children to drink from or handle the cartridges.

■ Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause leakage.

■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

■

Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

■ Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

■ Do not touch the green IC chip on the back of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
