CAUTION
•Do not install the printer on an unsteady platform, an uneven surface, or any other 
unstable location, or any location subject to vibrations. If the printer falls down or the 
platform tips over, someone may be injured.
•Do not install this printer in a location where a wall or other object will block the 
ventilation slots in the printer. Do not install the printer on a bed, sofa, thick carpet, 
etc. If the ventilations slots are blocked, the internal printer components will 
overheat, and this may cause a fire.
•Do not install the printer in any of the following locations. Doing so may cause fire or 
electrical shock.
-A damp or dusty location
-A location exposed to smoke and steam, such as next to a stove or humidifier.
-A location exposed to rain or snow
-A location near water faucets or water
-A location exposed to direct sunlight
-A location subject to high temperatures
-A location near open flames
•When you are installing the printer, work slowly and carefully to avoid pinching your 
hands between the printer and the floor, or between the printer and another product. 
You may be injured if your hands, etc. are pinched by the printer.
•When connecting the USB cable, connect the cable correctly by following the 
directions in this manual. Failure to properly connect cables can damage the printer 
or cause electrical shocks.
•When you are carrying the printer, hold the printer correctly by following the 
directions in this manual. Dropping the printer may lead to personal injuries. (See 
Moving the Printer, on p. 5-21.)
Power Supply
WARNING
•Do not scratch, break or modify the power cord. Do not place heavy items on the 
cord, pull on the cord, or bend the cord excessively. Electrical current may flow out 
from damaged parts of the cord, causing fire or electrical shock.
•Do not place the cord near any heating appliance. This can melt the cord insulation, 
causing fires or electrical shock.
•Do not plug in or unplug the electrical cord if your hands are wet. Doing so may 
cause an electrical shock.
•Do not connect an excessive number of appliances to a single outlet. Doing so may 
cause fire or electrical shock.
•Do not coil or tie knots in the electrical cord. Doing so may cause fire or electrical 
shock.
•Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the power outlet. If the plug is not fully 
inserted, fire and electrical shock may result.
 
						

							xvi
•Do not use any electrical cables other than the supplied cord. Doing so may cause 
fire or electrical shock.
•In principle, you should not connect the printer using an extension cord or connect 
too many appliances to a single power outlet. However, if there is no choice but to 
use an extension cord or connect multiple appliances to a single power outlet, it is 
the responsibility of the user to take care of the following cautions. If these points are 
not followed correctly, a fire or electrical shock may result.
-Do not connect one extension cord to another.
-Make sure that the voltage of the power plug matches the voltage on the rating label 
(attached to the back of the printer) when you use the printer.
-Use an extension cord that can carry an electrical current greater than the value 
indicated on the rating label (attached to the back of the printer).
-When you use an extension cord, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug 
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the 
power cord and the extension cord.
-Periodically check that the extension cord is not overheated.
CAUTION
•Do not use a power source with a voltage other than that indicated. Doing so may 
cause fire or electrical shock.
•When you unplug the power cord, make sure you hold the cord by the plug. If you pull 
on the cord itself, the cord may experience damage such as exposure of the core 
wires or an open circuit, and electrical current flowing out of the damaged section 
can cause fires or electrical shock.
•Whenever you pull out the power plug, make sure there are no objects around the 
power plug. Do not pull out the power plug in an emergency.
Handling
WARNING
•Do not disassemble or modify this product. This product contains high voltage and 
high temperature internal parts, which could cause a fire or electrical shock if 
tampered with.
•Electrical components can produce unexpected hazards if not handled correctly. 
Make sure that the power cord, cables, and internal gears and electrical components 
are kept out of reach of children.
•If this product emits strange noises, smoke, excess heat, or unusual smells, turn the 
power off immediately, and disconnect the USB cable if it is connected. Next, pull out 
the power plug, and contact the store where you purchased this printer. Continuing 
to use a faulty printer may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use flammable sprays near this product. If the gas from a spray comes into 
contact with the electrical unit inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical 
shock. 
 
						

							xvii
•When you are moving the printer, always turn the printer and computer off, unplug 
the power plug, and remove the interface cable. If you move the printer without 
unplugging the cables, the electrical cord and interface cable may be damaged, 
causing a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not drop paper clips, staples, or any other metallic objects into the printer. Do not 
spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) onto 
the printer. If any of these items come into contact with the electrical unit inside the 
printer they may ignite or cause an electrical shock. If any of these objects fall into 
the printer, turn the printer and computer off immediately, and disconnect the USB 
cable if it is connected. After this, pull out the power plug, and contact the store 
where you purchased the printer.
•If you are connecting or disconnecting the USB cable while the printer power plug is 
connected to a power outlet, make sure that you do not touch the metal parts of the 
connector. Doing so may cause an electrical shock.
CAUTION
•Do not put any heavy objects on top of this product. If a heavy object topples over or 
falls it can cause personal injuries.
•If you are not going to use the printer for a long period of time, such as overnight, 
turn the printer off for safety reasons. Furthermore, if you are not going to use the 
printer for a longer period of time, such as a weekend, turn the printer off and 
disconnect the power plug for safety.
•Keep your hands or clothing away from the roller in the output area. Even if the 
printer is not printing, sudden rotation of the roller may catch your hands or clothing, 
resulting in personal injury.
•Laser light can be harmful to the human body. The laser scanning unit in this product 
is sealed behind a cover, and there is virtually no risk of being exposed to the laser 
light if the product is operated normally. Be sure to observe the following safety 
precautions.
-Do not open any of the printer covers unless directed to by this manual.
-Do not remove the caution label attached to the cover of the laser scanner unit.
-If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage to 
your eyes.
