Epson 9880 Printer Guide - Page 13

Introduction | 15 Important Safety Instructions Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use the equipment safely and effectively. • The printer weighs about 108 lb (49 kg) [Epson Stylus Pro 7880] or 198 lb (90 kg) [Epson Stylus Pro 9880] without ink or paper. Make sure you have sufficient assistance when lifting it. (See page 19 for the Pro 7880 or page 29 for the Pro 9880.) • When setting up the printer, make sure you have enough space around it. You may need more space behind the printer if you print on large sheets of heavy stock or posterboard. (See page 19 for the Pro 7880 or page 29 for the Pro 9880.) • Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. • Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, or heat sources. • Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations. • Keep the printer away from dusty areas. • Keep your entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones. • Place the printer near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. • Use only the type of power source indicated on the label. • Connect the printer to a properly grounded outlet. Avoid using an outlet on the same circuit as a photocopier or air control system that regularly switches on and off. • Avoid using electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or timers. • Use only the power cord that comes with the printer. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock. • The printer's power cord is designed for use with the printer only. Using it with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock. • Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord. 15
