Connecting the Power Cord
This section explains how to connect the power cord to the printer. Refer to
"Important Safety Instructions," on p. xiv before connecting the printer.
Connecting the Power Cord
WARNING
• Do not scratch, break or modify the power cord. Do not place heavy items on
the cord, pull on the cord, or bend the cord excessively. Electrical current may
flow out from damaged parts of the cord, causing fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place the cord near any heating appliance. This can melt the cord
insulation, causing fires or electrical shock.
• Do not plug in or unplug the electrical cord if your hands are wet. Doing so may
cause an electrical shock.
• Do not connect an excessive number of appliances to a single outlet. Doing so
may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not coil or tie knots in the electrical cord. Doing so may cause fire or
electrical shock.
• Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the power outlet. If the plug is not fully
inserted, fire and electrical shock may result.
• Do not use any electrical cables other than the supplied cord. Doing so may
cause fire or electrical shock.
• In principle, you should not connect the printer using an extension cord or
connect too many appliances to a single power outlet. However, if there is no
choice but to use an extension cord or connect multiple appliances to a single
power outlet, it is the responsibility of the user to take care of the following
cautions. If these cautions are not followed correctly, a fire or electrical shock
may result.
- Do not connect one extension cord to another.
- Make sure that the voltage of the power plug matches the voltage on the rating
label (attached to the back of the printer) when you use the printer.
- Use an extension cord that can carry an electrical current greater than the
value indicated on the rating label (attached to the back of the printer).
- When you use an extension cord, untie the cord binding, and insert the power
plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection
between the power cord and the extension cord.
-Periodically check that the extension cord is not overheated.
