IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

To ensure safe operation the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet that is properly grounded through the normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with this printer must be three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, call a qualified electrician.

Disconnect device

You must install this printer near a power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off the power completely.

Caution for batteries

Do not replace the battery. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not disassemble, recharge or dispose of the battery in fire. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Caution for LAN connection

Connect this product to a LAN connection that is not subjected to over voltages.

IT power system (For Norway only)

This product is also designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage 230V.

Wiring information (for UK)

Important

If the mains plug that is supplied with this printer is not suitable for your plug socket, remove the plug from the mains lead and fit an appropriate three-pin plug. If the replacement plug needs a fuse, fit the same fuse as the original.

If a moulded plug comes off the mains lead, you should destroy it because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if it is put in a live plug socket. Do not leave it where a child might find it!

If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating as the original fuse.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.

Warning - This printer must be earthed.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code : Green and Yellow: Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live

The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this printer may not match the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

If you need to fit a different plug, you should do the following.

Remove a bit of the outer cover of the lead, taking care not to damage the coloured insulation of the wires inside.

Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If you can, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, if the lead is pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect.

Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the safety earth symbol 12 , or coloured green or green and yellow.

The wire, which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black or blue.

The wire, which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red or brown.

The outer cover of the lead must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires should not hang out of the plug.
