Safety Precautions
Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any operations or procedures oth-
er than as described in this manual. Doing so may result in unexpected accidents and can cause a fire or electrical
shocks.
Printer location
•
Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, thinner, or other volatile liquids. If these substances come
into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Warning
•
Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface. If it falls over, this could cause personal injury.
Caution
•
Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust, or exposed to direct
sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the printer location in an
environment where temperature and humidity are within the ranges of 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F) and 10 to 80%
RH (with no condensation).
•
Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet. The fibers may enter the printer and cause a fire.
•
Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that you can disconnect the power cable immediately if the
printer starts operating abnormally. In the event of a printer malfunction, remove the power cable from the outlet as
soon as possible to prevent fire and electrical shocks.
•
Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that generates such fields
or places where such fields occur. This could damage the printer or cause malfunction.
Power Supply
•
Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause electrical shock.
•
Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power source. If the power cable is not inserted completely,
Warning
this could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not use any power cable other than the one provided. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Never use the
power cable with any other electrical device.
•
Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and never stretch it or bend it forcefully. Never place a heavy object
on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power cable could cause a short circuit and may cause a fire or electrical
shock.
•
Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any power source shared by other electrical devices. This could
cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry cloth to wipe away dust that has collected on the plug and the
area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable plugged in and not cleaned for a long period, especially in an
area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.
