Important Safety Instructions
Your OKIDATA printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you
should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the unit:
• 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.
• 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 it 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.
• 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 you have a non-grounded
outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced with a
grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which
will remain 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 be-
comes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• The use of an extension cord or power strip with this
printer is not recommended or authorized. Check building
codes and insurance requirements before using an exten-
sion cord or power strip. If you are using an extension cord
or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of
the amperes required by all of the equipment on the
extension is less than the extension’s rating. Generally, the
