6.7 PRECAUTIONS FOR DESIGNING THE OUTER CASE
The thermal paper with a small winding diameter may cause the paper jam in the printer main body
and a gap between the printer mechanism and the outer case. If using such a thermal paper with the
small diameter, verify the performance with your actual device.
Design the outer case so that it and parts for the outer case will not apply any load to the printer
main body and the platen unit. The load may affect printing, and also may damage the printer
mechanism. Secure 1.0mm (min.) space between the printer main body and platen unit and the
outer case.
Temperature of the thermal head and its peripherals rises very high during and immediately after
printing. Be sure to design the outer case to prevent users from burn injuries by touching them.
Place warning labels to warn users to ensure safe operation. As for thermal head cleaning, warn
users to allow the thermal head to cool before cleaning. In order to allow cooling, secure clearance
between the thermal head and the outer case when designing the outer case.
Temperature of the motor and its peripherals rises very high during and immediately after printing.
Be sure to design the outer case to prevent users from burn injuries by touching them. Place
warning labels to warn users to ensure safe operation. In order to allow cooling, secure clearance
between the motor and the outer case when designing the outer case.
