Important Safety Precautions
General Precautions
Never place items on the printer such as a flower vase, potted plant,
cosmetics, any liquid filled container, or metal fasteners. If such items were
to fall on the printer, this could cause a fire, electrical shock, or damage to
the printer.
The electrical contacts inside the printer become extremely hot during
normal operation. To avoid causing a fire, never store flammable
substances like alcohol, thinner, etc. near the printer.
Never place the printer where it is exposed to open air or high humidity.
This could cause a fire, serious electrical shock, or damage to the printer.
Also, if the printer is carried into a warm room on a cold day, this could
cause condensation inside the printer. If this happens, allow the printer to
sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature to adapt to the ambient
temperature and humidity.
Never place the printer on a slanted or unstable stand or table. If the
printer is dropped or slides off, this could cause personal injury. Also,
never place a heavy object on top of the printer. If the object is dropped or
falls, this could cause personal injury.
Never expose the printer to open air or dust. This could cause a fire,
serious electrical shock, or damage to the printer. Also, never locate the
printer near a water faucet or in any other location where it will be exposed
to water. This could cause serious electrical shock.
Never place the printer where it will be exposed to rapid changes in
temperature, such as in direct sunlight, near an air conditioner, on a hot
day. This could cause a fire or damage to the printer.
Place the printer in a location that meets the specified ranges of
temperature and humidity. If the printer is either too cold or too hot, it may
not operate normally. Operating environment: 15 - 30°C (59 - 86°F) RH 10
- 80% (with no condensation).
To ensure normal operation of the printer and avoid possible damage,
never install the printer near large office equipment or any other type of
electrical devices that emit strong magnetic fields.
Never block the ventilation ports on the printer. A blocked ventilation port
could cause heat to build up inside the printer and cause a fire. Also, place
the printer in an area where you can disconnect the power cord
immediately; keep the area around the power cord connection free from
obstacles. This allows you to unplug the power cord quickly in an
emergency.
