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

•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 interface cables, connect the cables 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 product may lead to personal injuries. (See 
Moving the Printer, on p. 5-40.)
Power Supply
WARNING
•Do not scratch, damage 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. Doing so may 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 more than one appliance to a single power 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, fires and electrical shock can result.
 
						

							xvii
•Do not use any electrical cables other than the supplied cord. Doing so may cause 
fire or electrical shock.
•As a general rule, do not connect the printer using an extension cord or connect 
more than one appliance 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 observe the following precautions. 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 rating of the power plug for the product you are using is 
the same as the voltage printed on the rating label (Detailed on the rear surface of 
the product).
-Use an extension cord that can carry an electrical current sufficiently larger than the 
electrical current requirements shown on the rating label of the printer (Detailed on 
the rear surface of the product).
-When you use an extension cord, uncoil the cord 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 overly warm.
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 leaking 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 the spray comes into 
contact with the electrical unit inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical 
shock.
