3.1.1 Precautions for Disassembling the Printer
See the precautions below when disassembling or assembling EPSON Stylus Color 400.
Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling the printer.
Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink gets in your eye, flush the eye with
fresh water and see a doctor immediately.
If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If irritation occurs,
contact a physician.
A lithium battery is installed on the main board of this printer. Be sure to observe the following
instructions when serving the battery:
• Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that electrodes of the opposite
polarity do not come in contact with each other.
• Do not heat the battery or put it near fire.
• Do not solder on any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in leakage of electrolyte from the
battery, burning or explosion. The leakage may affect other devices close to the battery.)
• Do not charge the battery. (An explosion may be generated inside the battery, and cause burning
or explosion.)
• Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat. Leakage, burning
or explosion may also be resulted.)
Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause burning or explosion.)
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacture. Dispose the used batteries according to government
