Important Alert Items Important Alert Messages Important alert messages applicable to the M3091DC Image Scanner are listed below. Observe these directions for safe operation of the scanner. Alert concerning power supply Prohibited − Do not insert the AC adapter to any outlet other than one dedicated to 15 A at 100 VAC. Do not make a starburst connection. It could result in a fire or electric shock. − Do not damage, break, or process the power cord.
Electric shock − Disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet before connecting an interface cable or optional product. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock. − Do not handle the AC adapter with wet hands when connecting or disconnecting it. It could result in an electric shock. Direction − If the AC adapter or outlet is covered with dust, clean it well with a dry cloth. Failure to do so could result in a fire.
Direction − Insert the AC adapter all the way to the bottom of the outlet. Failure to do so could result in a fire or fault. Plug − Disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet before connecting an interface cable or optional product. Failure to do so could result in an electric shock. − Disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet for safety if the scanner will not be used for a long period. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock.
Alert concerning installation and movement Prohibited − Do not install the scanner in a high temperature or high humidity environment or in a dusty place with poor ventilation. A fire or electric shock could result. − Do not place the scanner near a heating device such as a stove or heater, volatile combustibles, or flammable articles such as curtains. A fire could result. Water − Do not use the scanner in the bathroom or where it is easily moistened. A fire or electric shock could result.
Alert concerning using scanner Prohibited − Do not put a vase, flower pot, cup, or any other vessel containing water on the scanner. Spilled water could result in a fire or electric shock. − Do not put any metal (such as a clip or staple) on the scanner. A metal clip or staple, if dropped into the scanner interior, could cause a short circuit and result in a fire or electric shock. − Do not moisten the scanner. A fire or electric shock could result.
Prohibited − Do not spray flammable gas near the scanner. A fire could result. − Do not place heavy matter on the scanner, or apply pressure to it. That could make the scanner become unbalanced and fall, resulting in personal injury. − Do not block any opening (such as the document entry port) of the scanner. Blocking ventilation openings could build up internal heat and result in a fire. − Do not cover or wrap the scanner with a cloth, etc. while in operation.
Direction − When removing a jammed document or performing fault recovery, be careful not to catch a necktie or necklace in the scanner's internal mechanism. − Read this manual thoroughly to ensure correct connections of cables.
