To Prevent Damage from Condensation
Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields. Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong
magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in
printed images.
Use in a well-ventilated, level area.
Leave about 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around the printer. Be sure to leave clearance
around the paper-handling slot (at the rear) so that paper has sufficient room to jut out from
the slot during printing.
Please avoid turning the printers power on and off needlessly as the printer
initialization consumes ink: There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the
set.
When the printer is not in use, please remove the battery pack (CP-300 only).
Unplug the printer when you are not using it. But please note that you should plug in and
run the printer at least once every six months to ensure that it remains functional.
Before transporting the printer, remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the
paper cassette cover and the ink cassette cover. If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer,
print quality may deteriorate.
Pack the printer into an appropriate case for transport. If a case is not available, wrap it
with cloth or other protective material to protect against scratches.
Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber
or vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer. These materials may
cause deformation of the printer’s casing.
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that the
printer has malfunctioned. The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it cools
down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:
When printing continuously.
If the room is unusually warm.
If the air vents are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location to a
warm location. To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer
in a sealed vinyl bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using it.
Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage
the equipment. Wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
