Do not wear gloves when operating or repairing to avoid entanglement. Keep the printer and all accessories out of reach of children. Do not remove or disconnect the USB cable when printing from a computer. Do not force or tear anything when unpacking and during setup. This may cause
damage to the printer and/or its accessories.
Ensure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its power source before
making repairs or performing service.
