Appendix A
AC Power Cord Requirements
Since many areas of the world have specific power requirements, an AC Power Cord may not be
included with your printer. Refer to Figure 20. A power cord must be provided by you that meets your
local electrical requirements.
WARNING!! For personnel and equipment safety, always use a
three-prong plug with an earth ground connection to the AC Power
Source.
AC Power Cord Specifications:
• The overall length must be less than 9.8 feet (3 m).
• It must be rated for at least 5 Amp, 250 VAC.
• The chassis ground (earth) must be connected to assure safety and reduce electro-
magnetic interference. This is done by the third wire (earth) in the power cord.
• The AC power plug and IEC320 connector should bear the certification mark of at
least one of the known international safety organization shown in Figure 20.
Power Fuse Replacement
The printer uses a metric-style fuse (5 x 20 mm IEC) rated for 5 Amps at 250 Volts that bears the
certification mark of a known international safety organization (see Figure 21).
The power entry module comes with two approved fuses in the fuse holder; one is “in-circuit” and
one is provided as a “spare.”
