normal operation. To avoid causing a fire, never store flammable
substances like alcohol, thinner, etc. near the printer.
Power Supply
z To avoid personal injury from an electrical shock, never handle the power
cord or plug when your hands are wet.
z To avoid causing a fire or serious electrical shock, make sure that the
power plug is securely and completely inserted into the power source.
z To avoid causing a fire or serious electrical shock, always use the power
cord provided with this printer, and do not use this power cord with any
other electrical device.
z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock caused by a short circuit, avoid
damaging the AC adapter cord or the power cord. Never attempt to modify
the power cord in any way. Never apply force to the cord by pulling on it,
and never place a heavy object on the power cord.
z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, connect the printer power cord to
an independent power source that is not shared by other equipment or
appliances.

cleaned for a long period, especially in an area subject to dust, oil, and high
humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate.
