Safety Information
Your OKI 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:
• Carefully read all setup and operating instructions. Be
sure to save all documents for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
printer itself.
• Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on
something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged.
• Avoid overheating the printer. Do not place it on a soft
surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed. The vents may be
blocked, causing the printer to overheat.
• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which
will remain easily accessible.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the printer. If you aren’t sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature. 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.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• 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.
