    WARNINGS:
    • Do not connect or disconnect a power cable with a wet hand. This could lead to an electric shock.
    • Make sure to use only the power supply specified for your printer (AC 100 V - 120 V or AC 220 V - 
    240 V). If a power supply with other than the specified voltage is used, it could cause an electric 
    shock and fire.
    • Plug the printer directly into the building’s electrical outlet (AC 100 V - 120 V or AC 220 V - 240 V). 
    Do not use multiple power cables on the same electrical outlet. This could generate heat and might 
    cause fire.
    • For the power supply, make sure to use a dedicated electrical outlet with a ground terminal, 
    connected to a ground. If the ground wire is not connected, an electric shock or fire may occur.
    • Do not connect a ground wire to the following places.
    • Gas pipe
    There is a possibility of ignition and explosion.
    • Ground wire of telephone cables and lightning rods
    Heavy current might flow whenever lightning strikes.
    • Water pipe and faucet
    The ground might not work if a plastic pipe is connected in the middle of the metal pipe.
    • Pay attention to the following points when handling any power cable. Any mishandling of a power 
    cable could cause a fire.
    • Make sure that no foreign substances such as dust, etc. are stuck to the power cable’s plug.
    • Make sure that the power cable’s plug is firmly and completely inserted into the building’s 
    electrical outlet.
    • For safety, if you do not plan to use the printer for a long period, make sure to disconnect the power 
    cable(s) from the electrical outlet.
    • Make sure to connect a ground wire to a ground connection that meets the following standards.
    • Use only building electrical outlets that are connected to a ground.
    • The ground wire should be attached to a copper plate which is buried in the ground to a 
    depth of 650mm (25").

    Notes:
    •Contact the retail outlet of purchase if the ground connection cannot be established, or 
    if the ground connection is not given.
    •Never disconnect the printer’s power cable(s) from the building’s electrical outlet without 
    first pressing the [Power] key to turn the printer’s power OFF. Doing so can cause the 
    printer to misread how much ink is still in the cartridges. It may indicate a cartridge is 
    empty when it is not. If this happens, there is no option but to replace the cartridge. This 
    can lead to dramatic waste of ink. The same problem may occur in the event a building 
    loses power.
    •Whenever the power cable is disconnected from the electrical outlet, allow one minute or 
    more to go by before re-connecting the power cable to the outlet.
    •The 8264E’s two power cables require a total capacity of 17A. If a single electrical outlet 
    cannot supply the required total capacity, plug one of the power supply cables into one 
    outlet and the other power supply cable into a different outlet.
