To avoid the hazards of fire, personal injury, or damage to the printer, never attempt to use the printer in any way other than the methods described in this guide. Warning Choosing a location Never place the printer near flammable solvents such as alcohol, thinner, etc. To avoid the hazards of fire or electric shock, keep all flammable liquids away from the printer. Never cut, modify, stretch, bend, or twist the power cord, and never place heavy objects on the power cord. A power leak from a damaged power cord could cause a fire or electric shock. Power supply Never attempt to plug the power cord into a power outlet when your hands are wet. To avoid electric shock, make sure that your hands are dry. Never plug the printer power cord into a power outlet (power board, double adapter, etc.) that is shared by other devices or office equipment. To prevent the hazards of fire or electric shock, avoid overloading power points. Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Always push the plug completely into the power outlet.

Never use flammable solvents like alcohol, benzene, thinner, etc. If a flammable solvent contacts an electrical component inside the printer, this could cause a fire or electric shock. Choosing a location Never set the printer on a surface that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration. The printer could tip or fall and cause injury. Always unplug the printer power cord before you clean the printer. If you mistakenly switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could touch moving components inside the printer and suffer injury. Never use the printer in a location that is subject to high humidity, dust, high temperatures, or direct sunlight. Set up and use the printer in a location where ambient temperature is within 5°C~35°C (41°F~95°F) and 10%~90% humidity with no condensation. Maintaining the printer Never attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. The printer contains high voltage components which could cause a fire or serious electric shock. Never place the printer on a thick carpet or rug. Fibres or dust entering the printer could cause a fire. Working around the printer Never use flammable sprays near the printer. Gases in the spray could cause a fire or electric shock if they come in contact with electrical components inside the printer. Keep the power outlet for the printer free of all obstacles so you can unplug the power cord at any time. Such obstacles could prevent you from unplugging the printer when a printer fault occurs and cause a fire or electric shock. 3 Caution Always carry the printer with both hands gripping both ends of the printer. To avoid dropping the printer and causing injury, always carry it carefully when moving it to another location. Working around the printer Never insert your fingers or hands inside the printer while it is printing. The printer contains moving parts which could cause injury. Power supply Always grasp the plug when you unplug the power cord. Pulling on the power cord could damage the cord and cause a fire or electric shock. Never place anything on top of the printer, especially metal objects (paper clips, staples, etc.), or containers with flammable solvents (alcohol, thinners, etc.) Objects falling into the printer could cause a fire or electric shock. Never use an extension cord. To avoid a fire or electric shock, always plug the power cord directly into the power outlet. If any foreign object, especially a piece of metal or liquid, falls into the printer, immediately press the POWER button to switch the printer off, unplug the power cord and call for service. Continuing to use the printer after a foreign object has fallen into it could cause a fire or electric shock. Never use a power supply voltage other than that supplied in the country where you purchased the printer. Using incorrect voltage could cause a fire or electric shock. The correct power supply voltages for this printer are determined by the country of purchase: USA/Canada AC 120V, 60 Hz Australia AC 240V, 50 Hz Europe AC 230V±10%, 50 Hz 4 Using the Printer Safety BJ Print Head and ink tanks For safety always store BJ Print Head and ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally licks or ingests any ink, consult a physician immediately. Using the printer near appliances and fluorescent lamps Allow at least 15 cm clearance between the printer and another appliance or a fluorescent lamp. Electrical noise generated by a fluorescent lamp placed too close to the printer could cause the printer to malfunction. Never subject a BJ Print Head or ink tank to shocks or excessive vibration. Shaking could cause ink to leak and stain clothing.
