Important Safety Instructions
Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you
use the printer safely and effectively:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s label.
■ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using
outlets controlled by a wall switch or automatic timer, or those on the same
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
■ Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

facilement.
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating
of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s
ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged
into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
■ Unplug the printer’s power cord from the electrical outlet when you don’t use
the printer for a long period of time.
■ Keep your printer and computer system away from potential sources of
electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or cordless telephone base
units.
■ Avoid locations for the printer that are subject to rapid changes in heat or
humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust.
■ Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation.
■ Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the printer base
in all directions. The printer won’t operate properly if it is tilted.
■ Leave enough room at the front of the printer for paper to eject smoothly.
■ Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s case or insert objects
through the slots.
