Disconnecting Power
WARNING: 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 printer,
• if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,
• if the printer is dropped or damaged,
• if you suspect that the printer needs cleaning, servicing or repair,
• whenever you clean the product.
Power Cord
• Use the power cord supplied with the printer.
• Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Make sure each end of the
cord is securely connected. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check
the outlet.
• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have
a ground connection terminal.
WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly
grounded. Electrical printers may be hazardous if misused.
• Do not use an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
• Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is capable of providing the correct voltage
and power. Review the printer’s electrical specification with an electrician if necessary.
• Do not place the printer in an area where people might step on the power cord.
• Do not place objects on the power cord.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back of the printer. If it is necessary
to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
