FUSE REPLACEMENT

The fuse is wired to the power receptacle and protects the printer from power surges from the electrical source. If a surge of electricity reaches the fuse, its filiment will melt creating a disruption of the flow. In order to bridge the gap so the printer may again be functional, the damaged fuse must be replaced.

To replace the fuse, unscrew the fuse cap from the fuse cylinder, remove the damaged fuse from the cap, and insert the replacement fuse in its place. Screw the fuse cap back into the fuse cylinder along with the replacement fuse.

NOTE: The orientation of the fuse does not matter. It only has to be installed into its respective cylinder and be able make contact on each end to function.

NOTE: Fuse amperage and voltage rating may be found stamped into the fuse’s metal contacts or labeled on the printer’s rear.

CAUTION: IMPROPER FUSE USAGE MAY RESULT IN DESTROYED

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND/OR FIRE. ENSURE THE DAMAGED FUSE IS

REPLACED WITH ONE OF IDENTICAL PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS AND

AMPERAGE. TO DO THIS, DUPLICATE THE INFORMATION STAMPED ON THE

FUSE’S METAL CASING.
