W REPLACING THE FUSE

A fuse has been incorporated into the circuitry of your printer as a safety device to protect it. This fuse may burn out as a result of fluctuations in AC line voltage (that is, the electricity from your power source).

Here are two easy ways to determine whether the fuse in your printer is burned out:

.The power lamp does not light when you turn the power switch on, or

*The printer has been in operation and the power lamp suddenly goes out.
