15. The power cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a
fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse must

able, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the
pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available
from the Parts Department indicated in your user instructions.
16. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be
cut off and destroyed. A plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if
engaged in a live socket outlet. The end of the flexible cord should be
suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted.

oured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with a
letter N or coloured Black or Blue. The wire which is coloured Brown

Overview of Additional Features
Thank you for purchasing this Citizen Prodot 350 printer. This user
manual addendum should be used in conjunction with the Prodot 300 user
manual also supplied with this printer to provide a full list of the features
and functions within this printer.
Automatic Media Thickness Selection
The integral sensors within the printer’s printhead mechanism detect the
thickness of the media being used and adjust the printhead height to the
correct level for printing. This makes it ideal for multi-thickness media or
for items such as passbooks where the printer must automatically select
the thickness depending on the page of the book being used.
Automatic Media Straightening
If media is miss-inserted in to the front of the printer at an incorrect angle,
the Prodot 350 will automatically correct the angle of the media to ensure it
is straight within the printer. This feature is also known as automatic skew
correction.
Left Edge Detection
The printer can automatically detect the left edge of the media if it is
inserted incorrectly. This is also a great feature if the printer is being used
in automatic media straightening mode as this feature can naturally move
the media left or right whilst straightening.
Automatic Media Selection
The printer can automatically switch between tractor media and cut sheet
media using software control commands making it ideal for banking or
retail situations. The function also exists to park the paper on the tractors
when printing is finished.
