General precautions
1. Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
2. Do not drop any clips, pins or similar metals onto the printer, which may cause
problems.
3. Be careful when moving or carrying the printer. Dropping the printer may cause
injury or property damage.
4. Do not open the printer cover during printing.
5. When cleaning the surface of the printer case, do not use the cloth soaked in
thinner, trichloroethylene, benzine, ketone or similar chemicals.
6. Do not use the printer where there is a lot of oil, iron particles, waste or dust.
7. Do not spill a liquid down the printer or do not spray chemical liquids over the
printer.

problems or malfunction. Also, do not use such a sharp-edged tool as ballpoint
for operation of the control panel.

the outlet.
11. If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.

our service personnel.
