4-4. Setup Precautions
CAUTION
P
We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long
periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and
easy to access.
P
If the voltage shown on the label on the of your printer does not match the voltage for your area, contact your
dealer immediately.
P
Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is turned off
before making connections.
P
Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector.
Failure to observe this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive connector if there is a chance it may
carry peripheral voltage.
P
Do not operate the cover open lever while pressing on the printer cover with your hand.
P
Do not pull the cover open lever and open the printer cover when printing is in progress or when the auto
cutter is operating.
P
Do not pull out paper while the printer cover is closed.
P
If liquids, foreign objects (coins and paper clips), and so on enter the printer, turn off the printer, unplug it
from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for advice. Continued use could cause a short circuit, which may
result in fire or electric shock.
P
Place the printer in a horizontal position when installing the paper, even if the model can be installed verti-
cally. If the paper is installed with the printer in a vertical position, the printer will be unstable and could fall,
which may result in injury.
