Using generic power strips and adapters

Note

HP does not recommend the use of
generic adapters (or power strips), like
the sample shown here, with your
printer.

WARNING!

Take care when plugging the printer into
a generic adapter, power strip or
universal power strip. When using a
universal power strip, align the printer
and computer power cords so they face
the same direction. It is essential that the
ground contact of the printer power cord
connect to the ground contact of the
power receptacle. You could sustain
serious injuries and cause damage to
your computer and printer if you insert
the printer cable plug incorrectly. Check
the adapter for specifications before
using it with your printer.

Once the power is connected, the
indicator lights on the printer’s control
panel will turn on and then blink in
sequence. The Error (top) light will stay
on if the paper input bin is empty.

You will not find an on/off switch on your
printer. After 15 minutes of inactivity, the
printer will automatically shift to a
powered-down state called SleepMode.

CAUTION

HP does not recommend use of battery
backup or uninterruptable power
supplies with your printer. Using them
could damage your printer.
