Connect the Printer to a Power Source
The AC power cord must have a three-prong female connector on one end that plugs into the
mating AC power connector at the rear of the printer. If a power cable was not included with
your printer, refer to Power Cord Specifications on page 32.
To connect the printer to a power source, complete these steps:
1. Toggle the printer power switch to the off (O) position.
2. Plug the power cord into the AC power connector (1) on the rear of the printer.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet near the printer.
4. Turn on (I) the printer.
The control panel LCD and lights activate, indicating that the printer is booting up.
Caution • For personnel and equipment safety, always use an approved three-conductor
power cord specific to the region or country intended for installation. This cord must use an
IEC 320 female connector and the appropriate region-specific three-conductor grounded
plug configuration.
