Important Safety Instructions

•  Do not directly paste labels printed with this printer onto fruits 

and vegetables. When pasting labels on food products, paste 
them onto wrap or other packaging.

IMPORTANT

•  Do not open the ink tank cover or transport unit lever, turn the printer off, or remove the power plug from the 

power outlet while the printer is operating. This could cause a printer failure.

•  If the printer is turned off while it is operating (for example, the power plug or AC adapter is disconnected or a 

blackout occurs), do not pull out the transport unit immediately. Turn the printer on again before performing 
any operation. Pulling out the transport unit forcibly without turning the printer on again could cause a printer 
failure.

•  Do not place the printer close to TV, radio receiver or loudspeakers, etc. The magnetic field produced may cause 

the printer to malfunction, or the printer may interfere with TV/radio reception.

•  Printed labels may get discolored by ultraviolet light or ozone.
