Safety precautions

To use the DCP safely

Save these instructions for later reference.

WARNING

There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before you clean the DCP or clear a paper jam, make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the power outlet.

(Example for U.K.)

After you use the DCP, some internal parts are extremely HOT! To prevent injuries, be careful not to put your fingers in the area shown in

the illustration.

To prevent injuries, be careful not to put your hands on the edge of the DCP under the document cover.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

(Example for U.K.)

To prevent injuries, be careful not to put your fingers in the area shown in the illustration.

WARNING

■

When you move the DCP, grasp the side handholds that are under the scanner. Do NOT carry the DCP by holding it at the bottom.

■

Install equipment with a power cord near a socket/outlet that is easily accessible.

■

Do not use this product near appliances that use water, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

■

There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Caution

■

Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line, or unplug the line during a lightning storm.

iii

Choosing a location

Place your DCP on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put the DCP near a telephone socket and a standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10° and 32.5°C.

Caution

■

Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.

■

Do not expose the DCP to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

■

Do not connect your DCP to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

■

Disruption of power can wipe out information in the DCP’s memory.

■

Do not connect your DCP to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other Equipment that might disrupt the power supply.

■

Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

■

Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper, or paper with an embossed letterhead.

For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially for plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, call your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where you purchased your DCP.

■

Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in printers.

■

For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.

■

If you are using special paper and the paper has problems feeding from the paper tray, try again using the manual feed tray or Multi-purpose tray.

■

You can use recycled paper in this DCP.
