Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you
use the printer safely. Do not attempt to use the printer in any way not described in this
manual.
Warning
➤ You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the printer if you ignore
any of these safety precautions.
â–  Choosing a location
Do not place the printer close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
â–  Power supply
Never attempt to plug in or unplug the printer from the power supply when your hands
are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the
power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
8
Safety Precautions
Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other
equipment (extension lead, double adapter, etc.).
Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately
unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any
dust or dirt that has collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the
printer is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke or high
humidity, it may absorb moisture and cause insulation failure and fire.
â–  Cleaning the printer
Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use flammable solvents
such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the printer,
it could cause a fire or electric shock.
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.
If you accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the printer.
9
Safety Precautions
â–  Maintaining the printer
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the printer.
The printer contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not described in
this guide.
â–  Working around the printer
Do not use flammable sprays near the printer.
This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside
the printer.
Never put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing.
Do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples, etc.) or containers of flammable
solvents (alcohol, thinners, etc.) on top of the printer.
If any foreign object (metal or liquid) falls into the printer, unplug the power cord and call
for service.
Caution
➤ You may cause injury or damage the printer if you ignore any of these
safety precautions.
10
Safety Precautions
â–  Choosing a location
Do not install the printer in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.
Do not install the printer in a location that is very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight,
outdoors, or close to a heating source.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, install the printer in a location with an ambient temperature range
of 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation free).
Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet.
Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times
so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary.
When moving the printer, hold it at both ends.
â–  Power supply
Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
11
Safety Precautions
Do not use an extension cord.
If you do not intend to use the printer for a long period of time, unplug
it after turning it off.
Never use a power supply voltage other than that supplied in the
country of purchase.
The correct power supply voltages and frequencies are as follows:
USA/Canada: AC 120V, 60Hz
Europe: AC 230V
±
10%, 50Hz
Australia: AC 240V, 50Hz
â–  Printheads and ink tanks
For safety reasons, store printheads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children.
If a child ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not shake printheads or ink tanks.
Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.
Never touch the electrical contacts on a printhead after printing.
The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns.
