Plugging the Power Cord
This section describes the procedure for connecting the power cord. Before 
connecting the power cord, see Important Safety Instructions, on p. xv.
WARNING
•Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on 
the power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical 
damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the 
power cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in 
electrical shock.
•Do not plug the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire 
or electrical shock.
•Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
•Insert the power plug completely into the AC power outlet, as failure to do so 
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result 
in a fire or electrical shock.
•As a general rule, do not use extension cords or plug extension cords to a 
multiple power strip. If extension cords must be used or plugged to a multiple 
power strip, however, use them observing the following points on users own 
authority. If you use extension cords improperly, this may result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
-Do not connect one extension cord to another.
-Make sure that the voltage of the power plug is the one indicated in the rating 
label (attached on the back of the printer) when you use the printer.
-Use an extension cord that allows the current value greater than the 
necessary one indicated in the rating label (attached on the back of the 
printer).
-When you use an extension cord, untie the cord binding, and insert the power 
plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection 
between the power cord and the extension cord.
-Periodically check that the extension cord is not overheated.

CAUTION
•Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as 
this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Always grasp the power plug when unplugging the power cord. Pulling on the 
power cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power 
cord. If the power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in 
a fire or electrical shock.
•Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. 
If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an 
emergency.
IMPORTANT
•Do not plug the power cord into the auxiliary outlet on the computer.
•One AC power outlet should be used exclusively for the printer.
