Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

❑Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a

radiator or heat source.

❑Place the printer on a flat surface. The printer will not

operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

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

Do not insert objects through the slots.

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

label.

❑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.

❑Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

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

the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the

extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.

Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices

plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall

outlet’s ampere rating.

❑Unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean with a damp

cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer.

Safety Information 1

❑Except as specifically explained in this guide do not

attempt to service the printer yourself.

❑Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered

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

damaged; if the printer does not operate normally or

exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

❑If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the

following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-

current protection for this printer, the building installation

must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Bei Anschluß des Druckers an die Stromversorgung muß

sichergestellt werden, daß die Gebäudeinstallation mit

einem 16 A-Überstromschalter abgesichert ist.

A few precautions

Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to

read through the following list of precautions before operating

your ink jet printer.

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

cartridge during printing.

❑Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage the

printer.

2 Safety Information

❑Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of ink

cartridges. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap

and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately

with water.

❑Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

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

could damage the print head.

❑Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the ink

cartridge clamp or remove the cartridge except to replace it

with a new one. The cartridge may become unusable

otherwise.

❑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 shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❑Always turn the printer off using the power switch. The

Ppower light flashes until the print head is capped, which

means it is at rest in the far right position. Do not unplug

the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the

Ppower light stops flashing. The printer caps the print

head when no data is received for several seconds.

❑Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is

in the far right position and the ink cartridge is in place.
