1.2.2 Electric Shock and Fire Safety Precautions
Failure to follow the following instructions could cause electric shock or potentially cause a re.
(1) Use only the correct voltage, failure to do so could damage the printer and potentially cause a re or
electric shock.
(2) Use only the power cable supplied with the printer. Use of an incorrectly speci ed cable could cause the
cable to overheat and potentially cause a re.
(3) Do not overload the power socket, this could lead to overheating of the cables inside the wall and could
lead to a re.
(4) Do not allow water or other liquids to spill into the printer, this can cause electric shock. Do not allow
paper clips, pins or other foreign objects to fall into the printer these could cause a short circuit leading to
an electric shock or re hazard.
(5) Never touch the plugs on either end of the power cable with wet hands, this can cause electric shock.
When servicing the printer remove the power plug from the wall socket.
(6) Use caution when inserting or removing the power connector. The power connector must be inserted
completely otherwise a poor contact could cause overheating possibly leading to a re. When removing
the power connector grip it rmly and pull.
(7) Take care of the power cable. Do not allow it to become twisted, bent sharply round corners or other
wise damaged. Do not place objects on top of the power cable. If the power cable is damaged it could
overheat and cause a re or exposed cables could cause an electric shock. Replace a damaged power
cable immediately, do not reuse or repair the damaged cable. Some chemicals can attack the coating on
the power cable, weakening the cover or exposing cables causing re and shock risks.
(8) Ensure that the power sockets and plugs are not cracked or broken in any way. Any such defects should
be repaired immediately. Take care not to cut or damage the power cable or plugs when moving the
machine.

machine near a humidi er. Damp and dust build up inside the machine can lead to overheating and
cause a re.

possibly leading to the printer failing to work properly and in extreme conditions could lead to a re.
(12) Do not insert any metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other part of the casing, it
could make contact with a high voltage conductor inside the machine and cause an electric shock.
