Introduction Important Safety Instructions Before using this printer, read and follow these safety instructions: Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may cause fire or shock. Do not use the cord with any another equipment. Make sure the power cord meets all relevant local safety standards. Use only the type of power source indicated on the label. Place the printer near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged. Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. Make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into an extension cord or a wall outlet does not exceed the ampere rating limit. Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, dust, or direct sunlight. Do not block or cover openings in the case or insert objects through the slots. Place the printer 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. And make sure the back of the printer is at least 10 cm away from the wall for sufficient ventilation. Do not open the scanner unit while copying, printing, or scanning. Do not touch the white flat cable inside the printer. Do not spill liquid on the printer. Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire. Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the printer; if the printer has been dropped or the case damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge. Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the scanner unit. Do not press too hard on the document table when placing the originals. Do not place anything except for originals in the automatic document feeder. Ink cartridge safety instructions Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.
