Safety precautions
The following precautions ensure the proper use of the printer and prevent the printer from being
damaged. Follow these precautions at all times.
• Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Avoid overloading the printer’s
electrical outlet with multiple devices.
• Ensure the printer is well-grounded. Failure to ground the printer may result in electrical shock,
fire and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
• Before disassembling or repairing the printer yourself, contact your local Service
Representative. See Support section of User Guide.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the printer. Do not damage, cut or repair the power
cord. A damaged power cord has risk of fire and electric shock. Replace a damaged power
cord with an approved power cord.
• Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts of the printer. Doing so may cause
damage, fire, electric shock or other serious hazards.
• Power off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in any of the
following cases:
• If there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from the printer.
• If the printer is making an unusual noise not heard during normal operation.
• A piece of metal or a liquid touches the internal parts of the printer.
• During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm
• During a power failure
