Safety Regulations

The printer

PP 803

PP 806

, and the printer

PP 809

fulfill the safety regulations

according to UL 1950 and VDE (IEC 950) and CNA/CSA C22.2 / No. 950 for

computer systems.

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

selected voltage of the printer needs to fit to 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).

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 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 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

derrière de l´imprimante soit retiré pour indiquer que

la tête d´impression peut être extrèmement chaude

après imprimer très longtemps.

This symbol is also located on the cover. It cautions

against touching the blade.

Ce signal de danger se trouve sur le cache supérieur

du massicot pour indiquer de ne pas toucher le

couteau.
