Safety Precautions

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

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

described in this manual.

Warning You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the printer if you

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

bend or twist the

power cord. Do not

place heavy objects on the power

Never plug the printer

that is shared with

other equipment

(extension lead/cord, 2- or 3- way

adapter, etc.).

Never use the printer if the power

cord is bundled or knotted.

the printer and use a

dry cloth to wipe off

any dust or dirt

location exposed to a lot of dust,

smoke, or high humidity, the dust

collected on the plug absorbs

products.

Cleaning the printer Use a damp cloth

If flammable solvents come in contact

printer, it could cause a fire or

electric shock.

Always unplug the printer from the

power outlet before cleaning the

printer.

on while cleaning it, you could injure
