Safety Instructions  
Your Oki 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:  
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 are not sure, check with  
your dealer or with your local power supplier.  
Read the setup instructions in this book carefully. Also read  
the Help Guide for further information. Be sure to save these  
manuals for future reference.  
Your printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature,  
and it will only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not plug  
it in, you probably have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact  
an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an  
adapter to defeat the earthing.  
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.  
This printer must be installed near to a power outlet switch  
which shall remain easily accessible.  
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 become blocked, causing the printer to overheat.  
To 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.  
To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all  
openings on the printer are not blocked. Do not put the printer  
on or near a heat source, such as a radiator. Keep it out of  
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the printer for  
adequate ventilation and easy access to the paper trays.  
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.

Important Wiring Instructions  
Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; The wires in the power cable are coloured in accordance with  
you could get a shock or cause a fire.  
the following code:  
Aside from the routine maintenance described in this  
handbook, do not try to service the printer yourself; opening  
the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards.  
Green and Yellow....... Earth  
Blue ............................. Neutral  
Brown ......................... Live  
Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in  
the handbook you may cause damage requiring extensive  
repair work.  
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this printer do  
not correspond with the markings of the terminals of your plug,  
proceed as follows:  
If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not  
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it  
immediately and contact your dealer.  
Green andYellow must be connected to the terminal marked  
with the letterE (or the safety earth symbol) or the terminal  
coloured Green or Green & Yellow.  
These are some of the things to look for:  
Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the  
letter L or coloured Red.  
• The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.  
Blue must be connected to the terminal marked with the  
letter N or coloured Blue or Black.  
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been  
exposed to water.  
Warning: This printer must be earthed.
