2-3. Handling Care
1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as these cause
the printer to malfunction.
2. Do not attempt to print when either paper or ribbon cartridge is not located in the printer,
otherwise the print head can be damaged.
3. Do not open the cover while printing.
4. Do not touch the print head immediately after printing as it gets very hot.
5. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
6. When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before it runs out.
2-4. Maintenance
Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with a modicum
of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example:
1. Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you feel comfort-
able, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
2. Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
3. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices.
4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either water with a
little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to fall inside the printer.
5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a compressed-air aerosol
(sold for this purpose). When performing this operation, be sure not to bend or damage any
cable connections or electronic components.
