Safety
Your Oki printer has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to
avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the set up instructions in this handbook carefully. Be
sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp
cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on
something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you
place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the
vents may become blocked, causing the printer to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all
openings on the printer are not blocked. Do not put the
printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat
register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough room
around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy access
to the paper trays.
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
• Your printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature,
and it will only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not
plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-earthed
outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced.
Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
• To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• If you are using an extension cable or power strip with the
printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by
all the equipment on the extension is less than the
extension’s rating. The total ratings of all equipment
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13 amperes.
• The power outlet into which you plug your printer must
remain accessible at all times.
• Lifting the top cover exposes hot surfaces. These are clearly
labelled. Do NOT touch them.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the
printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.

• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
handbook, do not try to service the printer yourself;
opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards. Always contact your local dealer.
• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in
the handbook. You may cause damage requiring extensive
repair work.
If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately
and contact your dealer.
These are some of the things to look for:
• The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been
exposed to water.
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
• The printer does not function normally when you are
following the operating instructions.

Choosing a Location for Your Printer
Your printer weighs approximately 52kg. It must be located
safely on a stable, flat, level surface, capable of supporting at
least this weight for an extended period.
If the optional second paper tray is installed, this weighs an
additional 20.5kg.
Locating the Printer & Optional Second Paper
Tray
English
1. Lay the 2nd paper tray face up in the position where the
printer is to reside.
1
Do not attempt to lift the printer by yourself, ask
someone to help you.
Choose a location where the cables for power and computer
data can be installed safely without creating a trip hazard.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance on the left side (viewed
from the front), front, rear and above the printer to allow opening
of covers and rear exit, and for removal of paper trays.
For your safety, the AC power socket used to supply power to
your printer should ideally be switched, must be of the 3-pin
earthed type, and should remain easily accessible at all times.
The data cable used to connect your printer to the host computer
should be IEEE1284 bi-directional Centronics type printer
cable, no longer than about 1.8m.
Setup Guide 7
The two locating pins (1) should be towards the front as
illustrated.
2. Lift the printer, position it over the 2nd tray with the front
at the same end as the two locating pins on the tray.
3. Gently lower the printer onto the tray, so that the two pins
locate into two corresponding holes on the underside of
the printer.
4. Remove the strips of adhesive tape sealing the top and
front covers.
