Plugging in the printer

WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your Color StyleWriter 2400 printer is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

First, insert the

power cord here.Then plug the power cord into a grounded outlet or power strip.

IMPORTANT The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. Make sure that at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug the printer in an emergency.
