Safety instructions

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.

Conventions

• 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.

• It is recommended that the printer be switched off prior to
opening or removing covers.

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.
