Important Safety
Information

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.

• Carefully read the provided setup and operating

instructions.

• Save all provided documentation 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 it on

something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged. If you
place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or cushion,
the vents may be blocked, causing the printer to overheat.

• Protect your printer from overheating. Make sure no

obstructions block the openings of the printer. Do not put
the printer on or near a heat source (such as a radiator or
heat register). Keep the printer out of direct sunlight.
Allow enough room around the printer for adequate
ventilation and easy access to the paper trays. If you put
the printer in any kind of enclosure, make sure the
enclosure is properly ventilated.

• Do not use your printer near water. Do not 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, three-prong plug as a safety

feature. This plug only fits into a grounded outlet. If the
plug does not fit, the outlet may be an older, non-
grounded type. Contact an electrician to have the outlet
replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.

• Install the printer near an easily accessed power outlet.
• 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.
