Safety Instructions
Your Okidata printer has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all
electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic
precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the printer:
• Read the setup instructions in the Quick Setup guide
carefully. Be sure to save it 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
bed, the vents may be blocked, causing the printer to
overheat.

• To protect your printer from overheating, make sure
all openings on the printer are not blocked. Don't put
the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator
or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow
enough room around the printer for adequate
ventilation and easy access to the paper trays.
• Do not use your printer near water, or 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're not sure,
check with your dealer or with your local power
company.
• Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If
you can't plug it in, chances are you have an older,
non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to have the
outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
grounding.
