Wiring Information (For U.K. only)
Important
If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your socket outlet,
remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the
replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit the same rating fuse as the
original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be destroyed
because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Do not
leave it where a child might find it!
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362
with the same rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.
The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
The colours of the wires in the main lead of this printer may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows.
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured
insulation of the wires inside.
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug
permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event
that the cord is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to
disconnect.
Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol
or
coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire that is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “N” or coloured black or blue.
