Electrical Safety
Safety Notes ❖iii
Electrical Safety
• Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the
printer to a power source receptacle that lacks a ground
connection terminal.
• Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded
electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord. If you
do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an
electrician to check the outlet.
• Do not place the printer where people may step on the
power cord.
• Do not place objects on the power cord.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. These
openings are provided to prevent overheating of the
printer.
You may get a severe electrical shock if you do not
connect the grounding conductors correctly.
Do not push objects into slots and openings on the
printer. Making a contact with a voltage point or
shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical
shock.

Electrical Safety
iv ❖System Administrator Guide
• If you notice unusual noises or odors, switch off the
printer power immediately. Disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized service
representative to correct the problem.
• If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the
printer power immediately, disconnect the power cord,
and call an authorized service representative.
— The power cord is damaged or frayed.
— Liquid is spilled into the printer.
— The printer is exposed to water.
— Any part of the printer is damaged.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in
device at the back of the printer. In the event it is
necessary to remove all electrical power from the printer,
disconnect the power cord from the power receptacle.
