Important Safety Instructions

Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the printer safely and effectively:

Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
Do not block or cover the openings in the printer's cabinet. Do not insert objects through the slots.
Take care not to spill liquid on the printer.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer's label.
Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
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.
Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer; the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
If you plan to use the printer 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 this printer.

Note for German-speaking users:
Bei Anschluß des Druckers an die Stromversorgung muss sichergestellt werden, dass die Gebäudeinstallation mit einer 10 A- oder 16 A-Sicherung abgesichert ist

 

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the cartridge during printing.
Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise you may damage the printer.
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a long time before use may result in reduced print quality.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first installing them.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.
After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could result in damage to the print head.
Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
Do not touch the green chip on the back of the ink cartridge.

Before transporting the printer, make sure the print head is capped in the far right position and the ink cartridges are in place.
