Wiring information (for UK)
Important
If the mains plug that is supplied with this printer is not suitable for your plug socket, remove the plug
from the mains lead and fit an appropriate three-pin plug. If the replacement plug needs a fuse, fit the
same fuse as the original.
If a moulded plug comes off the mains lead, you should destroy it because a plug with cut wires is
dangerous if it is put in a live plug socket. Do not leave it where a child might find it!
If you need to replace the plug fuse, fit a fuse that is approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same rating
as the original fuse.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug that does not have a cover.
Warning - This printer must be earthed.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this printer may not match the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug.
If you need to fit a different plug, you should do the following.
Remove a bit of the outer cover of the lead, taking care not to damage the coloured insulation of the
wires inside.
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If you can, leave the green and yellow wire longer
than the others so that, if the lead 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 the safety earth symbol, or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire, which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black or blue.
The wire, which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the letter “L”
or coloured red or brown.
The outer cover of the lead must be secured inside the plug. The coloured wires should not hang out of
the plug.
