7 Precautions to be followed when operating the printer
Warning
• Be extremely careful not to touch the print head or paper cutter when replacing
the paper. When the print head has become heated, there is a danger of it burning
your hand. And part of the cutter might cut your hand.
Precaution
• If you use any paper other than the designated kind, the print quality will fall and
the service life of the print head (printing unit) will be reduced.
• Do not perform printing and do not push the paper feed button while there is no
paper in the printer. The heat of the print head will deform the platen (roller) and
friction with the platen will damage the print head.
• Do not tap or rub the print head with a sharp or hard object.
• If moisture has condensed on the print head, be sure to wait until it is completely
dry before performing printing. If you print while the print head is moist, there is a
danger of damage to the print head.
• Do not use any batteries other than AA rechargeable NiMH batteries, AA recharge-
able NiCd batteries, and AA alkaline batteries.
• Always use four identical batteries at the same time.
