3-4. Connecting the AC Adapter

Note:

Before connecting/disconnecting the AC adapter, make sure that power to the printer
and all the devices connected to the printer are turned off. Also make sure the power
cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet.

(1) Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.

Note:

Use only the standard AC adapter and power cable.

(2) Connect AC adapter to the connector on the printer.

(3) Insert the power cable plug into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

When disconnecting the cable, take hold of the cable connector to pull it out.
Releasing the lock makes it easy to disconnect the connector.
Pulling the cable excessively could cause damage to the connector
