Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.

If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the power cord, printer unit, scanner unit, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the product’s guides.

Unplug the product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the product; the product has been dropped or the casing damaged; the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

If you plan to use the product in Germany, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for the product.

When connecting the product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

The product is heavy and should not be lifted or carried by fewer than two persons. When lifting the product, the two persons should assume the correct positions (see below).

Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

When storing or transporting the product, avoid tilting it, placing it vertically, or turning it upside down; otherwise ink may leak.

Allow spaces behind the product for the cables, and space above the product so that you can fully raise the document cover.

Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the product away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources.

Do not place or store the product outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet hands.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

Shake new ink cartridges four or five times before opening their packages.

Do not shake the ink cartridges too vigorously; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.

Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges, as there may be some ink around the ink supply port.
If ink gets on your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately and see a doctor right away.

Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can cause leakage.

Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.

After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.

Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place.

Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in the same environment as the product. A valve in the ink supply port makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain items that come into contact with this area of the cartridge. Do not touch the ink supply port or the surrounding area.

Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward. Do not store cartridges upside down.
