							❏If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into
the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere rating.
❏If you plan to use the AC adapter in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp
circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the printer.
❏When connecting the printer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the
connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation
may damage both devices connected by the cable.

away from direct sunlight, strong light, water, or heat sources.
❏Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
❏Do not put your hand inside the printer during printing.
❏Do not touch the white flat cable inside the printer.
❏Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
❏Always turn the printer off using the 
P button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power at the outlet
until the 
P light stops flashing.
❏Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head is in the home (far right) position and the ink
cartridges are in place.
❏If you are not going to use the printer for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
