Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:

Read and understand all instructions.

Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature

accompanying the machine.

If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the

safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If

you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for

assistance.

Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not use liquid or

aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing

serious damage.

Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air

conditioner or ventilation duct.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine

where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish

performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.

Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet

openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or

shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect

reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or

frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

•If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

•If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

•If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

•If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive

work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal

operation.

Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power for the duration of

the lightning storm.

If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray may

become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from

the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
