This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS
1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change
or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse.
You then need to replace the fuse cove r. If you have lost the
fuse cove r, do not use the plug until you get another fuse
c over from the people whom you bought the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and
should be suitable. Howeve r, some buildings (mainly old ones)
do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a
suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
W a r n i n g
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it
straight away. You cannot rewire the plug or
you may get an electric shock if you put it into a
s o c k e t .
Important warning: You must earth this machine.
The wires in the mains lead have the following colour code:
Green and Ye l l o w : Earth
B l u e : Neutra l
B r o w n : Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colours
m a r ked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marke d
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marke d
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the
distribution board.

1.1
Before using the printer, please read the instructions in this guide carefully
and put the guide in a safe place close to the printer, so that it is ava i l a b l e
when you need it later. Please take the following precautions when using
and maintaining your printer.
●Unplug the printer before cleaning it. Do Not use any liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Simply use a damp cloth. Refer to the page of this guide for
further details.
●Do Not place the printer on an unstable surface or close to a radiator or
source of heat.
●Take care not to block or cover the ventilation holes on the side of the
printer. Do Not insert any object in these holes.
●Check that the electrical power source to which you wish to connect the
printer complies with the electrical specifications of this printer :
(110 ~ 230V)
-Power cord may differ from one country to another.
●Connect all your computer equipment, including the printer to a power
point with earthing device. Avoid plugging your printer into the same
power point as equipment likely to cause voltage variations, such as a
photocopying machine or an air conditioner.
●Check regularly that the power cable is in good condition and is not
damaged in any way.
●If you use an extension cord, check that total intensity of all equipment
connected to it does not exceed the maximum intensity allowed for the
extention cord. Check that the total intensity of the equipment connected
to the same power point does not exceed 15 amps.
●Unless otherwise indicated in this guide, do not attempt to repair the
printer yourself. Should you detect a fault, return your printer to an
authorized service center or your dealer.
●Systematically return your printer to an authorised service center or your
local dealer if one of the following situations occurs :
- The power cord or plug is damaged.
- A liquid has been spilled on and/or in the printer.
