IMPORTANT - For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a
standard three-pin power outlet that is properly grounded through the standard
electrical wiring.
Extension cords used with this printer must be three-pin plug type and correctly
wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause
personal injury and equipment damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is
grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt
about the effective grounding of the power, call a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
You must install this printer near a power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of
an emergency, you must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to shut off
the power completely.
Caution for batteries
Do not replace the battery. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Do not disassemble, recharge or dispose of the battery in fire. Dispose
of used batteries according to local regulations.
Caution for LAN connection
Connect this product to a LAN connection that is not subjected to over voltages.
IT power system (For Norway only)
This product is also designed for an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage
230V.
Opmerking / Oplaadbare Batterij Recycle Informatie (For Netherlands Only)
Bij dit product zijn batterijen geleverd. Wanneer deze leeg zijn, moet u
ze niet weggooien maar inleveren als Klein Chemisch Afval.

Wiring information (for UK)
Important
If the mains plug that is supplied with this printer is not suitable for your plug socket,
remove the plug from the mains lead and fit an appropriate three-pin plug. If the
replacement plug needs a fuse, fit the same fuse as the original.
If a moulded plug comes off the mains lead, you should destroy it because a plug
with cut wires is dangerous if it is put in a live plug socket. Do not leave it where a
child might find it!
If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362
with the same rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.
Warning - This printer must be earthed.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code :
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this pri nter may not match the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
If you need to fit a different plug, you should do the following.
Remove a bit of the outer cover of the lead, taking care not to damage the coloured
insulation of the wires inside.
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If you can, leave the green and
yellow wire longer than the others so that, if the lead is pulled out of the plug, the
green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect.
Remove a short section of the coloured insulation to expose the wires.
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the safety earth symbol , or coloured
green or green and yellow.
The wire, which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal, which is
marked with the letter "N" or coloured black or blue.
The wire, which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is
marked with the letter "L" or coloured red or brown.
The outer cover of the lead must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires
should not hang out of the plug.

ABOUT THIS PRINTER 1 - 1
■ An interface cable is not a standard accessory. Some
computers have a USB and a parallel port. Please buy the
appropriate cable for the interface you are going to use.
■ Most parallel cables support bi-directional communication,
but some might have an incompatible pin assignment or
may not be IEEE 1284-compliant.
■ Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 1.8 metres
(6 feet).
■ The power cord length may differ slightly depending on the
country where you bought the printer.
■ If you use a USB cable, make sure it is a high-speed twisted
cable (12 Mbps ), and that you connect it to the USB
connector of your PC. Do not connect the USB cable to the
front of your PC or to the iMac's keyboard.
