Power supply Never attempt to plug in or unplug the printer from the power supply when your hands are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord.  
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other

Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately unplug the 
printer at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt 
collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the printer is placed at a location 
exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the 
plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
Cleaning the printer Use a damp cloth to clean the printer.  Never use flammable solvents such 
as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the 
printer, it could cause a fire or electric shock.
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.
If you accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the 
printer.
Maintaining the printer Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer.  There are no user serviceable parts inside 
the printer.
The printer contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not 
described in this guide.

inside the printer.

Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet.
When moving the printer, carry the printer at both ends.

purchased the printer.

Working around the 
printerNever put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing.
Do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples, etc.) or containers of flammable solvents (alcohol, 
thinners, etc.) on top of the printer.
If any foreign object (metal or liquid) fall into the printer, unplug the power cord and call for 
service.
Print heads and ink tanks For safety reasons store print heads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children.
If a child ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not shake print heads or ink tanks.
