3.4 POWER CABLE CONNECTION 
3.4.1 Important notes and cautions 
 Important    
•  Make sure to use the power cable supplied with the printer. Use of a different cable may result 
in an electric shock or fire. 
•  Do not use a damaged power cable. Doing so may result in an electric shock or fire. 
•  The printer’s disconnect device is the plug on the power cable. 
 Important    
•  Do not attempt to plug in electrical plugs with wet hands. Doing so may result in an electric 
shock. 
•  Be sure to use the specified voltage (AC 100V-120V/220V-240V). Otherwise, an electric shock or 
fire may occur. 
•  Use electricity directly from a power outlet (AC 100V-120V/220V-240V). Do not put many loads 
on one electrical outlet. Otherwise, heat may be generated, causing fire. 
•  Be sure to use an outlet with an earth terminal, and to use the terminal correctly. Otherwise, 
electric shock or fire may occur. 
•  Do not connect earth cables to : 
o  Gas pipes. Doing so may cause fire or an explosion. 
o  Earth terminals for telephone lines or lightning rods. Doing so may cause a large flow of 
voltage if lightning occurs. 
o  Water pipes or faucets. If there is a plastic part in the pipe, the grounding will not work 
correctly. 
 Caution   
•  Follow the instructions below when handling the power plug. Otherwise, fire may occur. 
o  Wipe away dust and any other residue before inserting the plug. 
o  Ensure that the plug is firmly inserted as far as it will go. 
•  When not using the printer for a long time, disconnect the plug from the power socket. 
•  Earth wires must be connected to wires or terminals that fulfil the following conditions : 
o  Power sockets with earth terminals. 
o  Earth wires with copper, at least 650 mm under the ground. 
 Caution   
•  Be careful when handling the power cable : 
o  Do not make any modifications to the power cable. 
o  Do not place anything heavy on the power cable. 
o  Do not bend, twist, or pull the cable. 
o  Do not wire the cable near equipment that generates heat. 
 Notes   
•  When the printer is ON, do not pull out the power cable from the socket. Whenever the plug is 
pulled out from the power socket, allow one minute or more before inserting the plug in the 
power socket again. 
•  Contact your local Mutoh technician, when the earth connection cannot be established, or when 
the earth connection is not given.
