Do not open the printer covers while the printer is printing or cutting.
Do not pull out paper when the printer cover is closed.
If liquid or foreign objects (such as coins and paper) enter the inside of the printer, turn the power switch off, disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet, and consult the dealer that you bought the product from.
Continuing to use the printer may lead to a short-circuit, which may cause electric shock or fire.
The heating element and the driver IC of the thermal print head are easily damaged. Do not touch them with metal objects,
sandpaper, etc.
Do not touch the thermal print head heating element. Doing so may make it dirty, which will decrease the printing quality.
Static electricity can damage the driver IC and other components of the thermal print head. Avoid touching it directly.
Do not operate the printer if there is moisture (which has been caused by condensation or another factor) on the front sur

face of the head.
The printing quality and the thermal print head’s service life cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the recommended
paper is used.
In particular, thermal paper containing Na+, K+, or C1- may drastically reduce the service life of the thermal print head.
We recommend that you use paper with the following maximum ion densities: 500 ppm of Na+, 150 ppm of K+, and 300
ppm of Cl-.
For details on recommended thermal paper, see the following webpage.
