Handling the Power Supply¶
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is the heart of your printer. Handling it correctly ensures your safety and the longevity of the equipment.
CRITICAL: Check the Power Supply Voltage Switch!
Before plugging in the printer for the first time, check if its power supply has a manual voltage selection switch (usually for 110V or 230V). Ensure this switch is set to the correct voltage for your region. Plugging a PSU set to 110V into a 230V outlet will instantly destroy it and may damage other components.
Use the Correct Power Connection
- Only connect the printer to a standard household power outlet compatible with its specifications (e.g., 110 VAC / 60 Hz or 230 VAC / 50 Hz).
- Never connect the printer to a different power source than specified.
Handle the Power Cord with Care
- Position the power cord so that it is not a tripping hazard.
- Regularly check the cord for cuts or other damage. If it is damaged, replace it immediately.
- When unplugging from the outlet, always pull the plug itself, never the cord.
Never Disassemble the Power Supply
The PSU contains no user-serviceable parts. Its internal components can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after being unplugged. Any repairs must be performed by a qualified technician.
