Power Safety Precautions
Power Source
For 115 VAC printers, do not apply more than 127 volts RMS between the 
supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. For 230 
VAC printers, do not apply more than 254 volts RMS between the supply 
conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. Use only the 
specified power cord and connector. This manual assumes that the reader is 
a qualified service technician.
Plug the three-wire power cord (with grounding prong) into a grounded AC 
outlet only. If necessary, contact a licensed electrician to install a properly 
grounded outlet. If the product loses its ground connection, contact with 
conductive parts may cause an electrical shock. A protective ground 
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential 
for safe operation.
Disconnecting Power
arn
ng
Turning the power Off using the power switch does not completely de-
energize the printer. You must also disconnect the power cord from the 
printer’s Alternating Current (AC) inlet. Disconnect the power cord by 
pulling the plug, not the cord. 
Disconnect the power cord in the following cases:
■ if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged, 
■ if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the product, 
■ if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture, 
■ if the printer is dropped or damaged, 
■ if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair, 
■ whenever you clean the product.
