Epson 2450 Manuel D’Utilisation

Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions 
marked on the scanner.

■

Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.

■

Place the scanner near an electrical outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.

Note for French-speaking users:
Placez le scanner près d’une prise de courant où le cordon d’alimentation peut être débranché facilement.

■

Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that you can raise 
the document cover fully.

■

Keep the scanner away from high temperatures and humidity, and excessive dirt or dust. Also 
avoid using or storing the scanner in places subject to rapid changes of temperature and humidity.

■

Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.

■

Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol 
cleaners. 

■

Do not place the scanner on an unstable surface, near a radiator, or near a heat source. 

■

Do not use the scanner near water or outdoors, or handle it with wet hands. Never insert or 
disconnect the power plug with wet hands.

■

Keep out of reach of children.

■

Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanner’s  label, and always supply power 
directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord that meets the relevant 
local safety standards.

■

Power-supply cords should be protected from abrasion, cuts, crimping and kinking. Be sure to 
place your cords to avoid any damage. Do not place objects on top of the power cord or allow the 
power cord to be stepped on or run over. 

■

Beware of electrical shock hazards.

■

Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same 
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

■

Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

■

If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices 
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total 
ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere 
rating. Do not place multiple loads on the electrical outlet.

■

Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the scanner or power cord.

■

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

■

Do not block or cover the openings in the scanner’s cabinet. Do not insert objects into any 
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.
