❏ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

❏ Do not place or store the printer outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations

subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity.

❏ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and not to handle the printer with wet hands.

❏ Keep the printer at least 22 cm away from cardiac pacemakers. Radio waves from this printer may adversely

Printer Advisories and Warnings

Read and follow these instructions to avoid damaging the printer or your property. Make sure you keep this

manual for future reference.

Advisories and Warnings for Setting Up/Using the 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.

❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and o.

❏ Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as

loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

❏ e power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place

objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over.

Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter

and leave the transformer.

❏ 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.

❏ If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit

breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.

❏ When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the

connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation

may damage both devices connected by the cable.

❏ Place the printer on a

at,

stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions.

e

printer

will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

❏ When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down;

otherwise ink may leak.

❏ Allow space above the printer so that you can fully raise the document cover.

❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct

sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.

❏ Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.

❏ Do not touch the white at cable inside the printer.

❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain

ammable

gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause

re.

❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

❏ Be careful not to trap your ngers when closing the scanner unit.

❏ Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

❏ Always turn the printer o using the

P

button. Do not unplug the printer or turn o the power at the outlet

until the

P

light stops

ashing.

❏ Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink

cartridges are in place.

❏ If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical

outlet.

Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer with a Wireless
