of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the

base units of cordless telephones.

❏If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that

the total ampere rating of the devices that are plugged into

the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.

Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices that

are plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall

outlet’s ampere rating.

❏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.

A Few Precautions

Read the information in this section before using the printer,

handling the ink cartridges, or choosing a location for the printer.

Using the printer

Observe the following when using the printer.

❏Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the ink

cartridges during printing.

❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, you may

damage the printer.

❏Always turn the printer off using the Ppower button. When

❏Before transporting the printer, make sure that the print head

is in the home (far right) position and that the ink cartridges

are in place.

Handling the ink cartridges

Observe the following when handling the ink cartridges.

❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. Do not allow

children to drink from or otherwise handle the cartridges.

❏Be careful when you handle the used ink cartridges, as there

may be some ink around the ink supply port. If ink gets on

your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If

ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If

discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough

flushing, see a doctor immediately.

❏Do not shake an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.

❏Install an 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.

❏Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or

remove the cartridge except to replace it with a new one.

Otherwise, the cartridge may become unusable.

❏Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the

cartridge carton: otherwise, it may result in reduced print

quality. For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six

months of first installing them.

❏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.

❏Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This

could damage the print head.

Choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following when choosing a place for the printer.

❏Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond

the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate

properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

❏Avoid places that are subject to rapid changes in temperature

and humidity. Also, keep the printer away from direct

sunlight, strong light, and heat sources.

❏Avoid places that are subject to shocks and vibrations.

❏Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient

ventilation.

❏Avoid places subject to dust.

❏Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be

easily unplugged.

Note for French-speaking users:

Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être

débranchée facilement.
