b) 3-Prong to 2-Prong Adapters

-Do not attach a 3-prong adapter to a 2-prong or non-grounded electrical outlet just for the purpose of supplying power to the printer – call an

electrician immediately and correct the power source problem. Bypassing the ground connection enables a free floating ground to exist at the printer which is not only dangerous to the operator but will likely result in imaging output problems.

-Some customers install line adapters which have a ground lead, then attach a wire between the ground lead and the receptacle box housing (i.e. screw) or other fixed point.

CAUTION: Installation of these types of adapters provides an extremely unreliable ground, is dangerous to the operator and equipment, and should never be considered a solution.

c)Non-Grounded Conditioners/Regulators - Never connect a line conditioner or power regulator to an ungrounded power source – this can be dangerous to the equipment and operator. See b. above.
