Safety and Precautions
Before installing and using the printer, please read the following items carefully.
1. Caution
Do not touch the print head during printing and just after operation. It is a thermal
element and can reach a high temperature. Contact with the print head can cause a
minor burn.
Keep the printer away from water to avoid a shock hazard and equipment damage.
Keep the printer out of moist areas to avoid condensation. If condensation occurs,
do not turn on the power until it has completely gone away. Condensation build up
could cause minor shock.
Disconnect the power when the printer is not in use.
Do not spill water or other conductive materials into the printer (e.g. metal). If this
happens, turn off the power immediately.
Do not disassemble the printer.
2. Important
• Install the printer on a flat and stable surface.
• Reserve adequate space around the printer so that the operation and maintenance
can be performed properly.
• Do not use or store the printer in a place exposed to heat, moisture or
serious pollution.
• Do not place the printer in a place exposed to vibration or impact.
• Do not touch the print head. It is an ESD-sensitive device.
• Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight, strong light or heat.
• Connect the printer power to an appropriate outlet. Avoid sharing one electrical
outlet with large instruments or other devices that may cause the fluctuation
of voltage.
• Do not attempt to print when there is no paper installed, otherwise the print head
and roller will be damaged.
• To ensure quality print and normal lifetime, use the recommended paper.
• Shut down the printer when connecting or disconnecting data cables to avoid
damages to control board.
• Set the print darkness to a lower grade as long as the print quality is acceptable.
This will help to keep the print head durable.
• Keep this manual carefully in hand for reference.
