Important Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section before using your

printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions

marked on the printer.

When setting up your printer

Observe the following when setting up the printer:

❏Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s cabinet.

❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s

label.

❏Be sure your AC power cord meets the relevant local safety

standard.

❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets.

Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air

control systems that regularly switch on and off.

❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or

automatic timers.

❏Keeptheentirecomputersystem away from potentialsources

of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the

base units of cordless telephones.

❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

English

❏If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that

the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the

extensioncorddoesnotexceedthecord’sampererating.Also,

make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged

into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere

rating.

❏Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.

❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the

printer; the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;

the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, the building

installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit

breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and

over-current protection for this printer.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following when choosing a place for the printer:

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond

the printer base in all directions. If you place the printer by

the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the

printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if

it is tilted at an angle.

❏When storing or transporting the printer, don't tilt it, stand it

on its side or turn it upside down. Otherwise ink may leak

from the cartridge.

❏Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be

fully ejected.

❏Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and

humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight,

strong light, or heat sources.

❏Avoid places subject to dust, shocks, and vibrations.

❏Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient

ventilation.

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be

easily unplugged.

When using the printer

Observe the following when using the printer:

❏Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer’s cabinet.

❏Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.

❏Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink

cartridges during printing.

❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may

damage the printer.

❏Always turn the printer off using the Ppower button. When

this button is pressed, the memory card light flashes briefly

and then goes out. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the

power to the outlet until the memory card light stops flashing.

❏Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head

is in the home (far right) position and the ink cartridges are

in place.

❏Leave the ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges

can dehydrate the printer head and may prevent the printer

from printing.

English

When using a memory card

❏Do not remove the memory card or turn off the printer power

while the computer and the memory card are communicating

(when the card slot light is flashing).

❏The handling method varies depending onthe storage media.

Be sure to refer to the documentation packaged with your

memory card and storage media for details.

❏You can only use the memory cards matching the printer

specification.

When using the display or the optional Preview

Monitor

❏Your LCD panel may contain a few small bright or dark spots.

These are normal and do not mean that your LCD monitor is

broken.

❏Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the display or the optional

Preview Monitor. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

❏If the display on the printer or the Preview Monitor’s LCD

panel is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal

solutiongetsonyourhands,wash themthoroughlywithsoap

and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes,

flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision

problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor

immediately.

❏Always attach the cover on the Preview Monitor slot, unless

using the optional Preview Monitor.

When handling the ink cartridges

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges:

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow

children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.

❏Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may

be some ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets

on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.

If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough

flushing, see a doctor immediately.

❏Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from

its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time

before use may result in reduced print quality.

❏Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

cartridge carton. For best results, use up the ink cartridges

within six months of installing them.

❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This

could damage the print head.

❏After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site,

allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three

hours before using it.

❏Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge.

This may affect normal operation and printing.
