Part 2: Connecting the Cords

After attaching the finisher, the next step is to connect the necessary cords for power and functionality.

Preparation

1. Turn Off the Machine: Ensure the copier is powered down to prevent electrical issues during the connection process.

2. Position the Machine: Rotate the copier to expose the back of both the finisher and the machine.

Identifying the Cords

1. Locate Two Cords: Find the black cord (for power) and the gray cord (for additional connections).

2. Inspect the Ports: Familiarize yourself with the shape and position of the ports for easy alignment.

Connecting the Cords

1. Connect the Black Cord: Insert the black cord into its port just above the power stop, ensuring it clicks into place.

2. Connect the Gray Cord: Align the gray cord with its port, carefully matching the shapes to avoid damage.
   

3. Tighten the Screws: Turn the screws clockwise to secure both cords firmly in place.
   

Finalizing the Installation

1. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and properly aligned.

2. Power On: Turn on the copier and wait for the finisher to be recognized by the system.
