Important Safety Instructions
Your OKI printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all
electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions
you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging
the printer:
Read the setup and operating instructions in this
manual 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
in on something unsteady, it might fall and be
damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing
it to overheat.
To protect your printer from overheating, make sure
no openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put
the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator
or heat register. If you put the printer in any kind of
enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.
The printhead can get quite hot when it has been
printing for a length of time. Do not touch the
printhead until it has had a chance to cool off.
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 a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If
you can not plug it in, chances are that you have an
older, non-grounded outlet; have an electrician
replace it with a grounded outlet. Do not use an
adapter to defeat the grounding.
The printer must be installed near a power outlet
which remains easily accessible.
To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.
If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it
immediately.
