Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust In a damp environment, a contaminated connector
can draw a non-negligible amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over
an extended period of time
Always use the power cord provided with your machine When an extension cord is required,
always use a properly rated cord
• In Japan: "125 V/15 A"
• In other countries: Contact your Xerox Customer Support Centre
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or
become hot to the touch
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 fire or electric shocks
Never touch a power cord with wet hands Danger of electric shock exists
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or
smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine Theses conditions can cause fire Immediately switch
off and unplug the machine, and contact your Xerox Customer Support Centre
To prevent fire or electric shocks, follow the instruction below based on your machine
configuration If in doubt, contact your Xerox Customer Support Centre
•If you machine is a 220-240 V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth line since the
earth connection is incorporated in the power line Plug it inot a properly rated outlet
•If your machine is a 100 V or 110 V model, use the green earth wire bundled with the power
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 650 mm or deeper
- Earth terminal with Class D* earthing
* Class D is the regulation for Japan only
Never connect the earth wire to any of the following:
•Gas pipe, which can be ignited and explode
•Telephone line earth wire or lightning rod, which can draw an excessive electric current if hit by
lightning
•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
