Safety
Your OKIDATA printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take
to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:
• Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual
carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
printer itself.
• Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp
cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on
something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged; if you
place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the
vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no
openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put the printer
on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register.
If you put the printer in any kind of enclosure, make sure it
is well ventilated.
• The printhead can get quite hot when it has been printing
for a length of time. Do not touch the printhead until it has
had a chance to cool off.
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you
can not plug it in, chances are that you have an older,
non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to have it
replaced with a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to
defeat the grounding.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which
will remain easily accessible.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on
it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord be-
comes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
English
• If you’re using an extension cord or power strip with the
printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by
all the equipment on the extension is less than the
extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all
equipment plugged into any one power line should not
exceed 15 amperes. Don’t exceed this unless you know
that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a
rating above 15 amperes.
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the sides
of the printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
handbook, don’t try to service the printer yourself; opening
the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards.
Don’t make any adjustments other than those outlined in
the handbook — you might cause damage requiring
extensive repair work.
E-ii Safety Instructions
• If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immedi-
ately and follow the procedures in Section 6 for having
your printer serviced. These are some of the things to look
for:
—The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
—Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the printer
has been exposed to water.
—The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has been
damaged.
—The printer doesn’t function normally when you’re
following the operating instructions.
