Safety Instructions
Read all of the instructions in this section before using
your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and
instructions marked on the printer.
When setting up your printer
Do not block or cover the vents and openings in
the printer.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the
printer’s label.
Use only the power cord that comes with this
printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or
electric shock.
Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant
local safety standard.
Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
If you use an extension cord with the printer, make
sure that the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed
the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the
wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has
entered the printer; the printer has been dropped
or the casing damaged; the printer does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
When choosing a place for the printer
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond the base of the printer in all
directions. If you place the printer by the wall,
leave more than 10 cm between the back of the
printer and the wall. The printer will not operate
properly if it is tilted at an angle.
When storing or transporting the printer, do not
tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down.
Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridges.
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in
temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer
away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat
sources.
Leave enough room around the printer to allow
for sufficient ventilation.
Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug
can be easily unplugged.
When using the printer
Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.
When using LCD panel
The LCD panel may contain a few small bright or
dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that
they are damaged in any way.
Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel.
Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.
If the LCD panel on your printer's control panel is
damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal
solution gets on your hands, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid
crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If discomfort or vision
problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a
doctor immediately.
When handling the ink cartridges
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
Do not allow children to drink from or handle the
cartridges.
Do not shake the ink cartridges; this can cause
leakage.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges,
as there may be some ink remaining around the
ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash the
area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with
water. If discomfort or vision problems remain
after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge;
this can cause leakage.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you
remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge
unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the back of the
cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation
and printing.
