Important Safety Instructions
Read all of the instructions in this section before using
your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and
instructions marked on the printer.
When choosing a place for the printer
Observe the following when choosing a place for the
printer:
❏ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond the base of the printer in all
directions. If you place the printer by the wall,
leave more than 10 cm between the back of the
printer and the wall. The printer will not operate
properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏ 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 cartridge.
❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the
paper to be fully ejected.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in
temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer
and the AC adapter away from direct sunlight,
strong light, water, or heat sources.
❏ Do not leave the printer in a place subject to high
temperature, such as in a car. Also, keep the
printer away from direct sunlight, strong light,
and heat sources. Otherwise, the printer may be
damaged or ink may leak.
❏ Avoid places subject to dust, shock, or vibration.
❏ Leave enough room around the printer to allow
for sufficient ventilation.
❏ Place the AC adapter near a wall outlet where the
plug can be easily unplugged.
❏ Do not place or store the printer, the AC adapter,
or the optional battery outdoors.
