*
Please note that only those qualified technicians may adjust several jumpers for
some technical settings. Please visit our web site

installation, DIP switch settings and command sets etc. if required.
*
Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
*
Choose a place that is well ventilated and free of excessive dust, smoke or fume.
*
Do not put the printer under direct sunlight or near a heater.
*
Ideal room temperature is from 0ºC to 50ºC. Ideal humidity is from 10% to 90%
RH (no condensation).
*
Do not set any liquid or drinks such as coffee on the printer case.
*
Do not touch any metal part to avoid possible electrostatic damage.
*
Do not touch the areas around the print head and motor during or right after printing.
It can be very hot.
*
Do not allow the cut receipt to slide back into the cutter during the operation. As
this would lead to multiple cutting at the lower edge of a receipt and the multiple
cut thin slips tend to cause mechanical malfunction.
*
Use a grounded AC power outlet with only the power cord and power adaptor
furnished with the printer.
*
Do not use a power outlet of a circuit shared with any equipment that uses a lot of
power or causes great electrical noises, such as a copier, electric motors or a coffee
maker.
*
Do not use thermal paper containing Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+) and Chlorine
(Cl-) ions that can harm the print head thermal elements.
*
If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard object such as a nail, the
paper may become discolored.
*
Use only water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste or CMC paste when gluing
thermal paper.
*
If thermal paper touches anything containing ophthalmic acid ester plasticizer for a
long time, the image formation ability may be reduced or the printed image may
fade.
*
Use of volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester and ketone or some adhesive
tapes on thermal paper can cause discoloration.
*
Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each other as the
printing may be transferred between the surfaces.
*
Since the paper roll is highly thermal sensitive, please keep them in a dark place
that is 20º and 65% RH when not installed in the printer. Avoid extended exposure
to direct light. Use only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene or
polyester for storage of thermal paper.
