About your guides

Cleaning the printer

Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the

printer. Never use flammable solvents like

alcohol, benzene, thinner, etc.

If a flammable solvent contacts an

electrical component inside the

electric shock.

Always unplug the printer power cord before

you clean the printer.

If you mistakenly switch the printer

on while cleaning it, you could

touch moving components inside

the printer and suffer injury.

Maintaining the printer

Never attempt to disassemble or modify the

printer.

The printer contains high voltage

components which could cause a

fire or serious electric shock.

Working around the printer

Never use flammable sprays near the printer.

Gases in the spray could cause a

fire or electric shock if they come

in contact with electrical

components inside the printer.

Choosing a location

Never set the printer on a surface that is

unstable or subject to excessive vibration.

The printer could tip or fall and

cause injury.

Never use the printer in a location that is

subject to high humidity, dust, high

(41°F~95°F) and 10%~90%

humidity with no condensation.

Never place the printer on a thick carpet or

rug.

Fibres or dust entering the printer

a printer fault occurs and cause a

fire or electric shock.

Caution

Warning

con 10/2/99 6:44 AM Page 3

Always carry the printer with both hands

gripping both ends of the printer.

carefully when moving it to another

location.

Power supply

Always grasp the plug when you unplug the

or electric shock.

Never use an extension cord.

To avoid a fire or electric shock,

always plug the power cord

directly into the power outlet.

Never use a power supply voltage other than

that supplied in the country where you

Using incorrect voltage could

cause a fire or electric shock.

The correct power supply voltages

for this printer are determined by

the country of purchase:

USA/Canada AC 120V, 60 Hz

could cause a fire or electric

shock.

If any foreign object, especially a piece of

metal or liquid, falls into the printer,

immediately press the POWER button to

switch the printer off, unplug the power cord

and call for service.

BJ Print Head and ink tanks

For safety always store BJ Print Head and ink

tanks out of the reach of small children.

If a child accidentally licks or

ingests any ink, consult a

Never subject a BJ Print Head or ink tank to

shocks or excessive vibration.

Shaking could cause ink to leak

and stain clothing.

Never touch the print head or electrical

contacts on a BJ Print Head immediately after

removing it from the printer.

These metal parts become very

hot during printing and could

cause minor burns.

Switching the printer off

To avoid printer malfunction always use the

POWER button to switch the printer on and

off.

Never remove the power cord from

the power outlet until you have

switched the printer off by pressing

the POWER button. After the

POWER/ERROR lamp

extinguishes, you can unplug the

power cord from the power outlet.
