Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer on 220 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz power supply only.
• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing or dropping heavy objects
on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cable.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the power cable.
• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the cable itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric shock from the internal
parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible
or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the
power immediately and consult with your dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful
not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.
On condensation
• If the printer is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as
when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room
with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may
form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation
forms, turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for at least one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature,
condensation may form on the ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the
printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are
likely to appear on the printout.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the
package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To
subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm
room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the
printing pack is removed from its package.
