• Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover
openings in the case or insert objects through the slots.
• Keep the printer away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
• When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
• Do not touch the flat white cable inside the printer.
• Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage the printer.
• Do not spill liquid on the printer.
• Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing
so may cause fire.
• Except as specifically explained in your documentation, 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 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.
• If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are
fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
• Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position
and the ink cartridges are in place.
• When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside
down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.
Ink Cartridge Safety
• 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.
• Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch any cartridges during printing.
• Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
• Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.
• Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may prevent normal
operation.
• Do not shake cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause them to leak.
