CONT Nast

In some areas, the POWER switch positions are marked “I” and “ (’) ”
on the copier instead of ON and OFF.
The symbol “ (')”” denotes the copier is not completely de-energized
but in a standby condition at this POWER switch position.
If your copier is so marked, please read “I” for ON and “ (') ” for OFF.
NOTE: For a complete electrical disconnection, pull out the mains plug.
