Safety 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 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. • If you are 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. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 15 amperes. • Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots of the printer. You could get an electrical shock or cause hazardous electrical arcing, which could cause a fire. • Aside from the routine maintenance described in the documentation, do not try to service the printer yourself. Removing the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. • Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the documentation. You may cause damage that will require extensive repair work. The provided documentation explains how to get your printer serviced by qualified Oki Data technicians. If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and follow the procedures in the provided documentation for having your printer serviced. Here are some of the things to look for. • The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged. • Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or the printer has been exposed to water. • The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged. • The printer does not function normally when you are following the operating instructions. 2 English
