Safety Requirements1.2
Please read this section carefully before connecting or using your equipment.
Power Connection
Before powering up your Mailing System, please check to ensure the system meets your
local AC voltage requirements (110V).
In addition to checking the power requirements, we also recommend that you:
•Use an outlet that is easily accessible.
•Do not route the power cord between pieces of furniture or over sharp edges.
•Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches or shared by other equipment.
•Make sure the mailing system is close enough to the electric outlet that it leaves
plenty of slack on the power supply cord.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
•Only connect the power plug to an outlet provided with a
protective ground contact.
•To reduce the risk of fire, use only the power cord supplied
with the mailing system.
•Do not use ground adaptors.
•Do not use this product on a wet floor or near water.
•In case of liquid spillage, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet and proceed to cleaning.
Compliance
Energy Star® Compliance
Office equipment is generally powered on 24 hours a day, so power management features
are important for saving energy and reducing air pollution.
Your Mailing System is an Energy Star® qualified Mailing System that automatically goes
into a low-power 'Sleep' mode after a period of inactivity.
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy but helps your
equipment run cooler and last longer.
