IMPORTANT - Wiring Information (For U.K. only)
If the power cord supplied with this printer is not suitable for your electrical outlet,
remove the plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the
replacement plug is intended to take a fuse then fit a fuse with the same rating as
the original.
If a moulded plug is severed from the power cord then it should be destroyed
because a plug with cut wires is dangerous if plugged into a live socket outlet. Do not
leave it where a child might find it.
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with
the same rating as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover omitted.
WARNING - THIS PRINTER MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.
The wires in the mains cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow: Ground
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
The colours of the wiring in the power lead of this printer may not correspond with
the markings which identify the terminals in your plug. If you need to fit a different
plug, proceed as follows.
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the coloured
insulation of the wires inside.
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug
permits, leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event
that the cord 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 by the earth symbol or coloured green
or green and yellow.
