Important Safety Instructions
Before using your EPSON product, read and follow these safety instructions:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the product label.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may cause fires or
electric shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.
■ Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■ If you won’t be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
■ Always turn off the product using the P power button, and wait until the P power light stops
flashing before unplugging the product or cutting off power to the electrical outlet.
■ Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air
conditioning system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or timer.
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. Place it to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying,
crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or
run over. Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end.
■ If you use an extension cord with the product, 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.
■ When connecting the product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
■ Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will
not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
■ Avoid locations that are subject to high temperature or humidity, rapid changes in temperature
or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust or dirt.
■ Do not place or store the product outdoors.
■ Do not place the product near heat sources, strong light, or in direct sunlight.
■ Keep the product away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless phones.
■ Leave enough space behind the product for the cable(s), above the product so that you can fully
raise the document cover, and in front of the product for the paper to be fully ejected. Make
sure the back of the product is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
■ Do not block or cover openings in the product case or insert objects through the slots.
