PREFACE

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE PRINTER

This section explains safety precautions which should be observed to operate the printer safely.

▪ Be sure to install the printer on level

ground and in a location where it will
not be subjected to vibration.

Otherwise, accurate printing cannot be guaranteed.
If the printer happens to fall, it may result in injury.

▪ Use only AC100V for power.

Operating the printer at a voltage other than that
specified may cause a fire.

▪ Use only the supplied power cable and

AC adapter.

▪ Be careful not to allow water to come

into contact with the main unit and
terminals.

Moisture on or in the equipment may cause a fire or
malfunction.

▪ Do not plug in or unplug the unit with

wet hands.

Doing so may cause an electric shock or short circuit.
