Safety Notes

For Power & Earth Connection

Use only the power cord specified for this printer. Using a different cord may cause fire or electric shock. Also, do not use the machine’s power cord with other equipment.

The power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your machine depend on your machine configuration. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shock. If in doubt, contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.

• Rated voltage 100/120 V Rated frequency 50/60 Hz

• Rated voltage 220/240 V Rated frequency 50/60 Hz

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a non-negligible amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.

Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.

• In Japan: 125 V/15 A

• In other countries: Contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers. If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.

Do not use any other power cords except those provided. Also, when using the power cords, please observe the following points. Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock:

• Do not touch the plug when your hands are wet.

• Do not spoil, damage, or make any changes to the cord.

• Do not place a heavy object on the cord or pull and overstretch it.

• Do not place the cord near a heater.

• Do not bundle or tie up the cord.

• Do not pull out the plug at all times, and do not place any object around the power plug.

If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask our Customer Support Center for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause electric shock.

Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

Feb 06

TallyGenicom Intelliprint 8026DN Color Laser Printer User Guide 7

Safety Notes

Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water or foreign object (e.g. metal strip, liquid) enters the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch off and unplug the machine, and contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.

To prevent fire or electric shock, follow the instruction below based on your machine configuration. If in doubt, contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.

• If your machine is a 220/240 V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth line since the earth connection is incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a properly rated outlet.

• If your machine is a 100/120 V model, use the green earth wire bundled with the power cord, located at the rear of the machine.

The earth wire must be connected to one of the following conductors:

- Earth terminal of the specified power outlet

- A piece of copper buried in the earth 650 mm (25.6") or deeper

- Earth terminal with Class D* earthing.

* Class D is the regulation for Japan only.

Never connect the earth wire to any of the following:

• Gas pipe, which can be ignited and explode

• Telephone line earth wire or lightning rod, which can draw an excessive electric current if hit by lightning

• Water faucet or pipe whose electrical conductivity is broken by a non-metal part

Do not unplug or replug the machine while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.

When unplugging the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock.

Be sure to switch off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live machine's interior can cause electric shock.

Warning Messages and Error Messages

The control panel display shows a warning message or error message when there is a problem with the printer. Some messages indicate routine status conditions such as an empty paper tray, while others indicate that a sheet of paper has jammed in a specific area of the printer. Some messages indicate more serious printer problems that may require the help of a service technician.

Warning messages use only the second line of the display and indicate conditions that do not prevent the printer from operating. For example, if Tray 2 is out of paper but the printer is currently drawing paper from Tray 3, a warning message will appear on the second line of the display indicating that Tray 2 is out of paper—but the printer will continue to operate, drawing paper from Tray 3.

Error messages use both lines of the display and indicate conditions that prevent the printer from operating. The first line of an error message contains the error code and type of error, while the second line of the display contains information about the action required to recover from the error.

When the control panel displays a warning or error message, refer to the following tables and complete the actions recommended for the specific message that is shown.
