6.5. Printer Handling Precautions
Please observe the following precautions, as recommended by the printer manufacturer, when
handling the BlastMate III printer.
6.5.1. Printer
If any paper other than that specified is used, high print quality and long life of the thermal head
cannot be guaranteed. Possible problems that may occur include poor print quality due to low–
sensitivity paper, abrasion of the thermal head due to paper surface which is too rough, sticking
between the thermal layer of the paper and the thermal head resulting in excessive noise during
printing, print fading due to low print preservation, and a corroded thermal head.
Do not print without paper; otherwise, the platen or thermal head may become damaged.
Do not hit or scratch the surface of the thermal head with any sharp or hard object.
When the printer is not in use for long periods of time, place the thermal head in the up position.
If the thermal head is left in contact with the platen, the platen may become deformed.
To prevent the heat elements, ICs, etc. from being damaged due to static electricity, take both
antistatic and grounding measures before handling the printer.
Do not apply any stress to the flexible plastic connector (FPC) terminal.
Do not oil the mechanism. The oil attracts dirt particles causing printer malfunctions.
