SafetyInstructions
Your Oki printer has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to
avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully.
Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp
cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company, or use the
appropriate Oki power supply unit.
• The power outlet into which you plug your printer must
remain accessible at all times.
• If you are using an extension cable or power strip with
the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required
by all the equipment on the extension is less than the
extension’s rating. The total ratings of all equipment
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 15 amperes.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
handbook, do not try to service the printer yourself;
opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other
hazards.
If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately
and contact your dealer.
These are some of the things to look for:
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been
exposed to water.
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is
damaged.
• The printer does not function normally when you are
following the operating instructions.
