About the AC adapter
CAUTION
k Make sure the rated voltage of AC adapter matches the line voltage in
your area.
i Fire and/or electrocution could result from connecting
the AC adapter to a line voltage other than that for
which it is rated.
DVP-P1EX: 220V to 240V
DVP-P1U: 100V to 120V
k Do not damage the power cord.
i Do not put heavy objects on the power cord or place
heat-producing appliances near it. Do not bend or
modify the power cord, or use staples to affix it, as
doing so may damage the power cord and cause a fire
or electric shock.
i If the power cord is damaged, consult with your dealer
about obtaining a replacement cord.
k When moving the printer, disconnect the AC adapter.
i If you attempt to move the printer without disconnecting
the AC adapter, the AC adapter or power cord may be
damaged.
k Do not allow dust etc. to build up on the power cord or power outlet.
i A build up of dust may cause a short circuit or generate
heat and cause a fire.
i Take special care when the printer is used in a humid
room, in a place where vapors are readily condensed,

CAUTION
k Caution when connecting the AC adapter.
i Securely plug the power cord all the way into the power
outlet. If the power cord is not fully plugged in, heat
may be generated and cause a fire.
i Do not use a bundled power cord, as the heat gener-
ated may cause a fire.
i When using an extension cord, make sure that the total
wattage of the connected devices does not exceed the rated value of the extension
cord. If the power load exceeds the rated value, it may cause a fire. Before using an
extension cord with the printer, make sure to read all its accompanying instructions.
i Do not leave the supplied AC adapter’s power cord plugged into the power outlet
while the other end is not plugged into the printer’s power socket. The loose end can
cause electrocution if touched with wet hands or if handled by children.
i Use only the supplied power cord. If a different power cord is used, it may be rated for
a different current load, and that may cause a fire.
i The supplied AC adapter is for exclusive use with this printer. Do not use it with other
devices, as doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
k When unplugging the power cord, be sure to hold the power plug and
slowly pull it out of the power outlet.
i Pulling the cord portion may damage the power cord
and cause a fire or electric shock.
