2-10Connecting the power cord
WARNING
Use only the power cord shipped with the printer. Using the wrong 
power cord may lead to a short-circuit!
The use of a power cord of inadequate cross-section can lead to a short-
circuit.
➜Only use an extension cable which has a higher rating than the current 
consumption of the printer.
➜Only use grounded cords.
➜Always observe the relevant local regulations regarding the connec-
tion of electrical equipment to the main network.
The laser printer requires a non-fluctuating power supply. If necessary, 
ask an electrician for advice.
✔Voltage: 110V - 10%, 127V + 6%, or 220-240V ± 10%
✔Frequency: 50-60 Hz ± 3Hz
1Make sure that the printer’s power 
switch is in the “O” (OFF) position.
2Connect one end of the power cord 
to the power cord socket on the 
back of the printer, and plug the 
other end into a power outlet.
