OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Please follow the precautions shown below to ensure full functionality of the printer and thermal paper.
■
Printer
Switch the power off when not in use.
DO NOT give a shock intentionary by dropping or hitting the printer. The printer with a rubber
cover has an excellent structure against impact on each surface. However, it may be broken
depending on the surface conditions, the angle of fall or the degradation state of the printer, and so
forth.
Give attention to ambient temperature and humidity during use of the printer. Proper operating
environment is as follows:
Ambient temperature: -15
C to 50
C / 5
F to 122
F
Relative humidity: 10% to 85%RH (no-condensing)
DO NOT set/put the printer near any device that generates strong electromagnetic fields, like a
motor in a copying machine.
DO NOT open the paper cover during printing.
DO NOT remove or reinstall the interface cable during printing or transmission. DO NOT touch the
connectors of the interface cable during printing.
NEVER close the paper outlet port or press down the paper which came out. If not, it might cause
paper jam.
Cut only a part of liner with the paper cutter attached to the paper outlet. It may cause a cutting
error or make the cutting edge dull due to label adhesive sticking to the cutter if cutting a part of
label sheet.
Remove the battery pack, when you do not use the printer for long periods of time. If not, it might cause
excessive discharge and then will not allow you to use the printer even after it is charged.
Clean the printer exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth where necessary. DO NOT use alcohol and
other solvent.
Before use, always clean the terminals using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. If the terminals are dirty, it
may not allow you to ensure proper contact.
Be sure to wipe the printhead with a soft swab, etc. when cleaning the thermal printhead.
Unplug the AC cable except when using the AC adapter.
