injury. 
When removing paper jammed in the machine, be careful not to get ink on your hands or 
clothing. If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash them soon in running water. If you use 
hot water, the ink may adhere and become difficult to remove.
After printing, do not touch the electrical contacts of the Print Head. They will be hot and 
may result in burns or electrical shock. 
Do not subject the machine to strong physical shock or vibration. This can damage the 
machine’s components.
Before moving the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the machine.
When moving the machine, carry the machine at both 
ends.
A distinct change in performance may indicate a need for servicing.
Do not insert your hands into the machine while it is printing. 
Parts inside the machine are moving and this may result in injury. 
Do not turn the machine upside down. 
Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in the guides since 
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and require extensive repair 
by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation. 
When storing or transporting the machine, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside 
down. Doing so may cause ink to leak out.
