Setting-up
Installation Precautions
Power Source
The following are the power source requirements for this printer.
•Power source: 120 - 127 V at 50 - 60 Hz
•Voltage fluctuation: Within 120 V −10%, 127 V +6%
•Frequency fluctuation: Within ±0.3%
Note
•Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.
•Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this printer.
•Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet should be located near the printer and be easily accessible so you can unplug the power cord immediately if necessary.
•Make sure the outlet you use is visible, and not hidden behind the printer or any other object.
•If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
•If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the power consumption of the printer. Using an extension cord with a lower capacity creates the danger of fire.
•Never use a multiple socket to connect other appliances or machines to the same outlet being used to power the printer.
Grounding
Always ground the printer to guard against the danger of electrical shock. To ground the printer, connect the grounding wire to the ground terminal of the electrical outlet you are plugging into or to a grounding contact that complies with local electrical standards in your area.
Note
•Never connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, the grounding wire for a telephone, or to a water pipe.
