Precautions
If the printer is not going to be used
for a long time
• Press the
1
On/standby switch to turn off the printer,
turn off the external power supply, then disconnect the
DC power supply cable.
• After disconnecting the USB cable, disconnect the DC
power supply cable.
• The DC power supply cable has a lock. To disconnect,
grasp the DC power supply plug, then pull it.
• Do not damage the DC power supply cable.
On Safety
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• Do not drop any objects inside the unit.
Caution
A paper cutter is mounted in the unit. When loading
paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching
the paper cutter may cause injury.
On Installation
• Place the unit on a level and stable surface.
If you use the unit on an uneven surface, malfunction
of the unit is likely to occur.
• Do not place the unit in an excessively hot or humid
place.
• In winter, humidity tends to be lower. It is
recommended to use the unit in a place of at least 35%
humidity.
• Take precautions against condensation.
Caution
• To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer (at least more than 10 cm
(4 inches)). Do not cover the holes on the right and left
sides of the printer and on the rear panel.
• If the space around the unit is less 10 cm (4 inches),
when used in conjunction with other devices or for
other reason, keep the vents on the left, right, and rear
sides of the printer clear as much as possible and
ensure that the ambient temperature is maintained
below 40 °C. If necessary, install a cooling fan to
ensure ventilation of the interior of the unit to prevent
the risk of heat confinement before using the printer.
On the Printer Carriage
• Do not impact the unit, or drop it.
• Do not carry or move the unit when the paper roll is
placed in the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
On Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises,
moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/
or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the
condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating
the unit while condensation is present may damage the
unit.
On Life Expectancy
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage
exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
Lock ring
Turn and pull the lock ring.
