Safety Notes
xi
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe,
or otherwise damage the power cord. Do
not place a heavy object on the cord. A
damaged cord can cause a fire or shock
hazard.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop the operation immediately if the
following happens. These conditions can
result in a fire. Immediately unplug the
machine and contact your Xerox Customer
Support Centre.
●If the machine emits smoke and becomes
very hot to touch.
●If it produces strange sounds or smell.
●If water is spilt into the machine.
To prevent a fire or a shock hazard, follow the
instruction below based on your machine
configuration. If in doubt, contact your Xerox
Customer Support Centre.
●If your machine is a 220-240V model, there
is no need to attach a separate earth line
since the earth connection in incorporated
in the power line. Plug it into a properly
rated outlet.
●If your machine is a 100 or 110V model,
use the green earth wire bundled with the
wire cord, located at the rear of the
machine.
The earth wire must be connected to one
of the following conductors.
•Earth terminal of the specified power
outlet
•A piece of copper buried in the earth
650mm or deeper
•Earth terminal with Class 3* earthing.
* Class 3 is the regulation for Japan only.
Never connect the earth wire to any of the
following:
●Gas pipe, which can cause ignition or an
explosion
●Telephone line earth wire or lighting rod,
which can draw an excessive electric
current if hit by lighting
●Water faucet or pipe whose electrical
conductivity is broken by a non-metal part
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires
are exposed, ask your Xerox Customer
Support Centre for a replacement. Using a
damaged cord can cause a fire or shock
hazard.
CAUTION
Do not unplug or replug the machine while it
is on. Unplugging a live connector can
deform the plug and cause a fire.
When uplugging the machine, grasp the plug
instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a
cord can damage it and cause a shock
hazard.
Once a month, unplug the machine and
check the power cord for the following.
Contact your Xerox Customer Support Centre
if you notice any unusual conditions.
●The power cord is plugged firmly into a
receptacle.
●The plug is not excessively heated, rusted
or bent.
●The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
●The cord is not cracked or frayed.
When the machine is not used over an
extended period of time, switch it off and
unplug it. If an unused machine is left
connected to a power source for a long
period, degraded insulation can cause a
shock, leak current, or fire hazard.
This machine has a earth fault interrupter.
Once a month, check the protection circuit
for correction operations using the following
procedure. If the circuit does not operate, an
electric shock can occur on a poorly earthed
component. If you notice any unusual
conditions, contact your Xerox Customer
Support Centre.
1. Press the power switch to the position.
2. Press the test button below the breaker
switch. When the breaker switch is turned
from |to , the circuit is all OK.
