Connecting the Power Cord

Before connecting the power cord,

Power Supply

, p. 1-6.
Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:
Connect the supplied power
cord to the power cord
connector. Then connect the
other end into a properly
grounded 200–240 V AC three-
prong outlet.*
The unit has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. Once connected,
though, the unit still needs to warm up before you can use it. Wait until the LCD no longer
displays PLEASE WAIT.
n Your unit is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third (grounding)
pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2
adaptor.*
Do not plug the unit into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric
typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with
your unit’s ability to send and receive faxes.
* The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.
