Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure

that you use the printer safely. Do not attempt to use the printer in any way not

described in this manual.

Warning

You may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the printer if you ignore

any of these safety precautions.

Choosing a

location Do not place the printer close to

flammable solvents such as alcohol

or thinners.

Power supply Never attempt to plug in or unplug the

printer from the power supply when

your hands are wet.

Always push the plug all the way into

the power outlet.

Never

damage,

modify, stretch

or excessively

dust or dirt

collected on the plug and the power

outlet. If the printer is placed at a

location exposed to a lot of dust,

smoke, or high humidity, the dust

moisture and may cause insulation

failure and fire.

Cleaning the

the printer.

solvents such

as alcohol,

benzene or thinners.

If flammable solvents come in contact

with electrical components inside the

shock.

Always unplug the printer from the

power outlet before cleaning the

printer.

If you accidentally switch the printer

on while cleaning it, you could injure

yourself or damage the printer.

Maintaining the

printer Do not attempt to disassemble or

modify the printer. There are no user

serviceable parts inside the printer.

components. Never attempt any

maintenance procedure not described

in this guide.
