Important Safety Instructions
Before using your EPSON STYLUS DX, read and 
follow these safety instructions:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions 
marked on the EPSON STYLUS DX.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the  
label.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with the 
EPSON STYLUS DX. Use of another cord may 
cause fire or shock. Do not use the cord with any 
other equipment.
■ Make sure the power cord meets the relevant local 
safety standards.
■ Place the EPSON STYLUS DX near a wall outlet 
where the plug can be easily unplugged. 
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or 
frayed.
■ If you use an extension cord with the EPSON 
STYLUS DX, make sure the total ampere rating of 
the 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.
■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes 
in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust.
■ Leave enough room around the EPSON STYLUS 
DX for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover 
openings in the case or insert objects through the 
slots.
■ Do not place the EPSON STYLUS DX near a 
radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
■ Place the EPSON STYLUS DX on a flat, stable 
surface that extends beyond its base in all 
directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted 
or at an angle. 
■ Make sure the back of the EPSON STYLUS DX is 
at least 10 cm away from the wall.
■ Do not open the scanner unit while the EPSON 
STYLUS DX is copying, printing, or scanning.
■ Do not spill liquid on the EPSON STYLUS DX.
■ Except as specifically explained in your 
documentation, do not attempt to service the 
EPSON STYLUS DX yourself.
■ Unplug the EPSON STYLUS DX and refer 
servicing to qualified service personnel under the 
following conditions: if the power cord or plug is 
damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the 
product has been dropped or the case damaged; if 
the product does not operate normally or exhibits 
a distinct change in performance. Adjust only 
those controls that are covered by the operating 
instructions.
■ When storing or transporting the EPSON STYLUS 
DX, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it 
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the 
cartridge.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children 
and do not drink the ink.
■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; 
there may be ink remaining around the ink supply 
port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap 
and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them 
immediately with water. If you still have 
discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor 
immediately.
■ Do not put your hand inside the EPSON STYLUS 
DX or touch any cartridges during printing.
■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after you 
remove an empty one. Leaving cartridges 
uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may 
prevent the EPSON STYLUS DX from printing.
■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect 
the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store 
it in the same environment as the EPSON STYLUS 
DX. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply 
port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but 
care is needed to prevent the ink from staining 
items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the 
ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
