PreviousNext

Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place your hand between the original cover and the original table. Doing so may result in an injury if your fingers are pinched.

Turn off the main power switch before unplugging the power cord. See "Turning Off the Main Power", Getting Started.
The area around the ventilation holes might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. After moving the machine, do not use it for at least an hour. The machine requires this time to adapt to its new environment.
Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation.
Do not move or tilt the machine when the power is on. Ink may leak and cause a malfunction or damage the hard disk or memory, resulting in loss of stored files.
Do not knock the machine while it is operating (for instance, do not use the machine's surfaces to knock stacks of paper into square). Characters on printouts may be misaligned.
Do not open the covers of the machine when the machine is in operation. If you do, misfeeds might occur.
If you do not use the machine for a long time, remove the paper from the paper input location and place it in its storage bag.
In addition to printing, ink is also consumed when the machine's power is turned on, head cleaning is performed, and print cartridges are installed.
The machine uses more ink when cold or hot.
The print heads will slowly return to their initial positions if the cartridge cover or paper input location cover is opened.
The print heads will stop at the position they are at when the front cover is opened. Do not leave the front cover open.
