•Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that each end of the
cord is connected securely. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check
the outlet.
WARNING: To avoid risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use extension cords, power
strips, or power plugs for more than 90 days. When a permanent outlet receptacle
cannot be installed, use only one factory-assembled extension cord of the appropriate
gauge for each printer or multifunction printer. Always adhere to national and local
building, fire, and electrical codes regarding length of cord, conductor size, grounding,
and protection.
•Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have
a ground connection terminal.
•Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power.
Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.
•Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.

There are three optional finishers: the Business Ready Finisher, the Office Finisher, and the Office
Finisher LX. The two Office Finishers offer similar functions, but the procedures that you use to open
their front covers differ. When you use this manual, use the procedures for the finisher installed on
your printer. For example, to open the Office Finisher front cover, you lower it. In contrast, to open the
Office Finisher LX front cover, you swing it the right.
