Safety Regulations

The printer PP 404 (CI - 4040) and PP 405 (CI - 4050) fulfils the safety

regulations according to UL 1950 and VDE (IEC 950) and CSA 22.2/No. 950 for

for computer systems.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The

selected voltage of the printer needs to agree with the local voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be

disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes..

Comme le câble de secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à

l'imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the

printer will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment and chapter 1).

During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any

data transfer cables.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.

Repairs and maintenance beyond the descriptions of chapter 4 Maintenance

may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done

inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.

There are warning symbols to draw the user's attention to possible injuries:

This symbol is visible when the top cover has been

opened. It indicates that the print head is extremely

hot after long periods of printing.

Ce signal de danger se présente quand le cache

supérieur de l’imprimante soit retiré pour indiquer que

la tête d’impression peut être extrèmement chaude

après imprimer très longtemps.
