Cautions

To avoid machine malfunction, do not use the equipment under the following conditions:

■ 

Static Electricity Damage

To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following
components, touch a grounded metal surface, such as the
printer’s bare metal frame prior to touching the component.

• The interface connectors: parallel and USB
• Electrical components, connectors inside the printer

■ 

Interface Cable

Always use a shielded interface cable.

Use of an unshielded cable can result in radio interference with
data.

■ 

Power Source

Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or surge
protector as it may cause a machine error.

■ 

Ventilation Space

The ventilation space needed is more than 20 mm (0.8˝) between
the printer and a wall.
