PRINTER

1 Special Handling Considerations

(1) When transporting the printer

When transporting the printer, the head up lever should be raised
in the 

B

: Head up position so that the head does not contact the

platen rollers.
Failure to do so will may result in pear the printer performance.

When the printer is carried, it should not be held at the connectors,
the lead wires, paper take-up frame, etc.

When carrying the printer, never allow large impacts to occur, such
as by dropping, collision, etc.

When carrying the printer, hold the frame with both hands, as
shown in the figure below.

When transporting the printer, pack it using anti-static packaging.

Do not touch the thermal head and the surface of the PWB. When
handling the printer, properly ground yourself.
