Place the printer on a flat surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s cabinet. Do not insert objects through the slots.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.

Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

Unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer.

Except as specifically explained in this guide, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

Safety Instructions

Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this printer, the building installation must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Bei Anschluß des Druckers an die Stromversorgung muß sichergestellt werden, daß die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem 16 A-Überstromschalter abgesichert ist.

A few precautions

Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to read through the following list of precautions before operating your ink jet printer.

Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink cartridges during printing.

Do not move the print heads by hand; otherwise you may damage the printer.

Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the cartridges. If ink does get on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

Safety Instructions
