Use only the power cord supplied with the printer and do not use the cord with any other equipment. Use of other cords with this printer or the use of the supplied power cord with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.
Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standard.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, plug, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the printer's manuals.
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. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.
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 affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers.
If the LCD screen 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.

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 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 off.
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.
The 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 flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
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.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer
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 flat cable and ink tubes inside the printer.
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit.
Do not press too hard on the scanner glass when placing the originals.

User's Guide
Important Instructions
Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink level after filling the tank.
Always turn the printer off using the P button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet until the P light stops flashing.
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 Transporting or Storing the Printer
When storing or transporting the printer, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position.
Advisories and Warnings for Using the Printer with a Wireless Connection
Radio waves from this printer may negatively affect the operation of medical electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. When using this printer inside medical facilities or near medical equipment, follow directions from the authorized personnel representing the medical facilities, and follow all posted warnings and directions on the medical equipment.
Radio waves from this printer may negatively affect the operation of automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms, and could lead to accidents due to malfunction. When using this printer near automatically controlled devices, follow all posted warnings and directions on these devices.
Advisories and Warnings for Using Memory Cards

& “Supported Memory Card Specifications” on page 191
Advisories and Warnings for Using the LCD Screen
The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is damaged in any way.
Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners.

Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection
Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the office, or when you want to connect the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an access point and you can connect up to four devices to the printer without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
