Safety Regulations

The printer PP 803, PP 806, and the printer PP 809 fulfill the safety regulations

according to UL 1950 and VDE (IEC 950) and CNA/CSA C22.2 / No. 950 for computer

systems.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The

selected voltage of the printer needs to fit to the local voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be disconnected

immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes. Comme le câble de

secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à l'imprimante doit être tout

le temps accessible.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the printer

will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment).

During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any

data transfer cables.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.

Repairs and maintenance may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well.

Repairs done inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.

There are warning symbols to draw the user's attention to possible injuries:

This symbol is visible when the cover has been opened. It indicates

that the print head is extremely hot after long periods of printing.

Ce signal de danger se présente quand le cache

derrière de l´imprimante soit retiré pour indiquer que la tête

d´impression peut être extrèmement chaude après imprimer très

longtemps.

This symbol is also located on the cover. It cautions against

touching the blade.

Ce signal de danger se trouve sur le cache supérieur du massicot

pour indiquer de ne pas toucher le couteau.
