AC OUTLET

1. Plug the output of the AC power supply provided with the printer

into the connector on the underside of the printer.

2. Plug the supply into an AC outlet having the correct voltage.

Important!

The required AC voltage is marked on the power supply.

Confirm that your AC voltage matches the power supply

requirements. Do not use any power supply other

then the one provided with the printer.

Note:

CX200 printers consume very little power when idle so are not equipped

with a power switch. Press the READY indicator ON-OFF (a combined
