Wiring Information (For U.K. only)

 

 

Important

 

 
If the mains plug supplied with this printer is not suitable for your socket outlet, remove the 
plug from the mains cord and fit an appropriate three pin plug. If the replacement plug is 
intended to take a fuse then fit the same rating fuse as the original. 
 
If a moulded plug is severed from the mains cord then it should be destroyed because a plug 
with cut wires is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Do not leave it where a child 
might find it! 
 
In the event of replacing the plug fuse, fit a fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 with the same 
rating as the original fuse. 
 
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use a plug with the cover removed. 
 
WARNING - THIS PRINTER

 

MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED. 

 
The wires in the mains cord are colored in accordance with the following code: 
 

Green and yellow: 

Earth 

Blue: 

 

  Neutral 

Brown: 

 

  Live 

 
The colors of the wires in the main lead of this printer may not correspond with the colored 
markings identifying the terminals in your plug. 
 
If you need to fit a different plug, proceed as follows. 
 
Remove a length of the cord outer sheath, taking care not to damage the colored insulation 
of the wires inside. 
 
Cut each of the three wires to the appropriate length. If the construction of the plug permits, 
leave the green and yellow wire longer than the others so that, in the event that the cord is 
pulled out of the plug, the green and yellow wire will be the last to disconnect. 
 
Remove a short section of the colored insulation to expose the wires. 
 
The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug 
which is marked with the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol 

 

or colored green or green 

and yellow. 
 
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the 
letter “N” or colored black or blue. 
 
The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the 
letter “L” or colored red or brown. 
 
The outer sheath of the cord must be secured inside the plug. The colored wires should not 
hang out of the plug.
