3. Setup
3-1. Connecting the Power Cord
(1) Check the label on the back or bottom of the printer to make sure its voltage matches that
of the AC outlet. Also make sure the plug on the power cord matches the AC outlet.
(2) If the power cord is not attached to the printer, plug the appropriate end into the AC inlet
on the back of the printer.
(3) Plug the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet.
CAUTION
If the voltage shown on the label on the bottom of your printer does not match the voltage for
your area, contact your dealer immediately.
We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to
use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is
plugged into is nearby and easy to access.
