Plugging the Power Cord
This section describes the procedure for connecting the power cord. Before
connecting the power cord, see "Important Safety Instructions," on p. xv.
WARNING
• Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on
the power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical
damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the
power cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in
electrical shock.
• Do not plug the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire
or electrical shock.
• Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Insert the power plug completely into the AC power outlet, as failure to do so
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
• As a general rule, do not use extension cords or plug extension cords to a
multiple power strip. If extension cords must be used or plugged to a multiple
power strip, however, use them observing the following points on user's own
authority. If you use extension cords improperly, this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
- Do not connect one extension cord to another.
- Make sure that the voltage of the power plug is the one indicated in the rating
label (attached on the back of the printer) when you use the printer.
- Use an extension cord that allows the current value greater than the
necessary one indicated in the rating label (attached on 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.
