• Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
• If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
• Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or
dust.
• Leave enough room around the printer for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover
openings in the case or insert objects through the slots.
• Do not place the printer near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.
• Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the printer. Doing
so may cause fire.
• Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will
not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.
• Make sure the back of the printer is at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
• Do not open the scanner section while the printer is copying, printing, or scanning.
• Do not touch the flat white cable inside the printer, and be careful not to trap your fingers
when closing the scanner.
• Do not spill liquid on the printer.
• Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the printer
yourself.
• Unplug the printer and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the
product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or
exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions.
• When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside
down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridges.
Ink Cartridge Safety
• 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 shake ink cartridges after opening their packages; this can cause leakage.
• Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch any cartridges during printing.
• Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving cartridges
uninstalled can dry out the print head and may prevent the printer from printing.
