Important Safety Instructions

Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may cause re or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

Do not use aerosol products that contain ammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause re.

Make sure the power cord meets all relevant local safety standards.

Except as specically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

Place the printer near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the label.

If ink gets on your skin, wash it o with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, ush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately.

Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.

Do not open the scanner unit while copying, printing, or scanning.

If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.
