General Product Safety
Instructions
- Be sure to
follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
- Use only the
type of power source indicated on the product's label.
- Use only the
power cord that comes with the product. Use of another cord may
cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other
equipment.
- Place the
product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily
unplugged.
- Avoid
plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo
copier or air control system that regularly switches on and off, or
on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.
- Do not let
the power cord become damaged or frayed. Place it to avoid
abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place
objects on top of it and do not allow it to be stepped on or run
over. Be careful to keep the cord straight at each end.
- If you use
an extension cord with the product, 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.
- Always turn
off the product using the power button, and wait until the power
light stops flashing before unplugging the product or cutting off
power to the electrical outlet.
- If you will
not be using the product for a long period, unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
- Place the
product 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.
- Allow space
behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so
that you can fully raise the document cover.
- Leave enough
space in front of the product for the paper to be fully
ejected.
- Avoid
locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity,
shocks or vibrations, or dust.
- Do not place
or store the product outdoors.
- Do not place
the product near excessive heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Leave enough
room around the product for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or
cover openings in the case or insert objects through the
slots.
- Keep the
product away from potential sources of electromagnetic
interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.
- When
connecting the product 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 product.
- Do not move
the print head by hand; this may damage the product.
- Do not spill
liquid on the product or use the product with wet hands.
- Do not use
aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the
product. Doing so may cause fire.
- Do not press
too hard on the document table when placing originals.
- Do not open
the scanner section while the product is copying, printing,
scanning, or performing any other functions.
- Be careful
not to trap your fingers when closing the document cover or
scanner.
- Except as
specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to
service the product yourself.
- Unplug the
product 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.
- Leave the
ink cartridges installed. Removing the cartridges can dehydrate the
print head and may prevent the product from printing.
- Before
transporting the product, 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 product, do not tilt it, stand it on its side,
or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.
