Safety
Your OKIDATA printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take
to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual
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.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on
something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged; if you
place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the
vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no
openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put the printer
on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register.
If you put the printer in any kind of enclosure, make sure it
is well ventilated.
• The printhead can get quite hot when it has been printing
for a length of time. Do not touch the printhead until it has
had a chance to cool off.
• 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.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you
can not plug it in, chances are that you have an older,
non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to have it
replaced with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to
defeat the grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which
will remain easily accessible.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on
it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord be-
comes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
