S/390. Operator Panel Control of Path Switching: Note: If you are running IBM IPDS applications, such as PSF, path switching is always controlled by the IPDS data stream. Operator panel control of the path switching is not available with these applications. For SCS applications, you may need to enable the Override Host function of the printer in order for the operator panel control of path switching to work.

Page 348: Electrical Requirements
U.S. Safety Safety is a major consideration in the design and manufacture of IBM products. Proper electrical grounding is essential for safety and for reliable operation of the printer. If you have any questions about the grounding of your receptacle, ask your electrician.
Page 349: Plugs And Receptacles
DANGER <1-30> The construction of this printer provides extra protection against the risk of electrical shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The extra protection may not function unless the power cord is connected to a properly-grounded outlet. This printer has a grounding-type (3-wire) power cord because grounding is necessary.
