IMPORTANT NOTES ON TK23 HANDLING
In order to guarantee a long life of the printer, it is necessary to keep some
precautions on the TK23 handling. Please read carefully next lines to make a
good use of the printer.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using the printer, please carefully read point 2- INSTALLATION.
BEWARE not to invert power supply polarity. This may irremediably damage the
printer.
Use power supply voltage within specified range. Over-voltage may irremediably
damage the printer. Voltage under the specified range may cause incorrect
operations.
Keep TK23 away from water or any other liquid.
Do not use in locations subject to high humidity or dust levels.
DO NOT put any objects into the printer. It could cause severe damage like short-
circuits, broken thermal head or general printer failure.
DO NOT blow the TK23.
•
NEVER modify the TK23.
•
DO NOT try to repair the TK23 by yourself. If some failure is detected contact
with your usual dealer technical service.
•
Since the printer contains permanent magnets (in the motor) as well as
electromagnets, it should not be used in areas containing excessive dirt, dust
and metallic particles.
•
Never print without paper installed or the head away from the platen, because
the life of the thermal head may be shortened.
•
Never pull the paper out (forward or backward) with the head down against the
platen.
•
Since the head heating elements and the driver IC are very delicate, avoid
touching them with any metal objects, such as tweezers or screwdrivers.
•
Since the head area and the motor surface reaches high temperatures right
after printing, never touch it with your bare hands; wait about 15 min.
For it to cool.
•
Design the product so that when handled the user can not touch the edge of
the printer unit and/or the cut surface of the metal parts used in it, because the
edge of the printer unit and the cut surfaces of the metal parts are sharp. Or
include any necessary precautions regarding this matter.
•
Never touch the surface of the head heating elements and the driver IC, as dirt
may stick to them, affecting the head heating elements or causing damage by
static electricity.
•
When printing a black pattern at a high print rate in a low temperature or high
humidity environment, the vapour from the paper during printing may cause
condensation to form on the printer unit or may soil the paper. If water
condenses on the printer unit, keep the thermal head away from water drops as
it may corrode the thermal head, and turn printer unit power off unit it dries.
