Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
Do not install or store the printer in an unstable location or a location subject to vibrations from other equipment. The printer could fall or tip over and cause an injury.
Do not install the printer in locations subject to oily smoke and dust, or in locations subject to humidity or where it could easily get wet.
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. Do not modify the cord.
Place the product near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
Do not route the power cord near heaters or other heat sources.
Keep children away from this product, otherwise injury may occur.
Connect your product to a properly grounded power outlet. Avoid plugging the product into an outlet on the same circuit as a photo copier, heat press, or air control system that regularly switches on and off, or on an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer.
Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
Do not connect the power cable to a power strip or a multi-outlet extension cord; otherwise an electric shock or fire could occur. Supply power directly from a household power outlet (100 V AC).
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.
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.
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.

Do not bend, twist, or pull forcefully on the power cord.
Unplug the plug regularly and clean between the blades and around the base of the blades. If the plug is plugged in for an extended period of time, dust collects around the base of the blades and a short circuit or fire could occur.
Do not use the plug if dust or any other foreign objects have adhered to the plug; otherwise an electric shock or fire could occur.
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.
