Operating Precautions

Observe the following precautions to ensure that the printer provides you with
the years of trouble-free operation for which it is designed.

Avoid using the printer in areas exposed to direct sunlight, and in areas sub-
jected to high humidity, electrostatic charge, sudden temperature changes,
and temperature extremes. Operating Temperature Range: 10°C to 35°C (50°F
to 95°F)

Battery capacity becomes lower at temperatures of 10°C (50°F) and colder.
This can cause the “LOW BATTERY!” message to appear sooner than normal.
If this happens, move the printer to a location that is within the operating
temperature range (10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)).

Never subject the printer to strong impact or shock.

Never allow paper clips, pins, or other similar objects to get inside the printer
mechanism.

Never pull on the tape with excessive force or try to push it into the cassette.

Place the printer on a level surface when printing. A tilted surface can make
normal printing impossible.

Unclear printing can indicate a dirty print head. If printing becomes unclear,
use the procedures on page E-23 to clean the print head and rubber roller.
