If you received more than one power cord with your printer, make
sure to use the correct power cord for your region.

CAUTION

:

The power outlet must be grounded. An ungrounded outlet
can cause fire, electric shock, or harmful interference to
nearby electrical devices.

of the printer and to a grounded power outlet.

3. Connect the USB cable (not included) to the USB connector

on the back of the printer and to the USB connector on the
computer.
