correct use of the printer and to prevent injury to others and property damage. The symbols and meanings for
them are given below. Be sure to understand these symbols well before reading the main text.

Caution
Ignoring the instructions marked

Warning
Do not set on an unstable area
•
Do not set on an unstable area,
such as a wobbly table or slanted
area or an area subject to strong
vibration. If the printer falls off or
topples over, it could injure some-
one.
Do not place containers full of water
or other liquid on the printer
•
Do not place flower vases, cups,
or other containers holding liquids,
such as water or chemicals, or
small metal objects near the
printer. If they are spilled and get
inside the printer, immediately turn
off the power switch, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and
contact your SATO reseller or
technical support center. Using
the printer in this condition could
cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not put objects inside the printer
•
Do not insert or drop in metal or
burnable objects inside the
printer’s openings (cable outlets,
etc.). If foreign objects do get
inside the printer, immediately turn
off the power switch, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and
contact your SATO reseller or
technical support center. Using
the printer in this condition could
cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use other than the specified
voltage
•
Do not use other than the specified
voltage. Doing so could result in fire or
electric shock.
Always ground the connections
•
Always connect the printer’s
ground wire to a ground. Not
grounding the ground wire could
result in electric shock.
Handling of the power cord
•
Do not damage, break, or modify
the power cord. Also, do not place
heavy objects on the power cord,
heat it, or pull it because doing so
could damage the power cord and
cause a fire or electric shock.
• If the power cord becomes dam-
aged (core is exposed, wires bro-
ken, etc.), contact your SATO
reseller or technical support cen-
ter. Using the power cord in this
condition could cause a fire or
electric shock.
• Do not modify, excessively bend,
twist, or pull the power cord. Using
the power cord in such a condition
could cause a fire or electric
shock.
When the printer has been dropped or
broken
•
If the printer is dropped or broken,
immediately turn off the power
switch, unplug the power cord
from the outlet, and contact your
SATO reseller or technical support
center. Using the printer in this
condition could cause a fire or
electric shock.
Do not use the printer when some-
thing is abnormal about it
•
Continuing to use the printer in
the event something is abnormal
about it, such as smoke or
unusual smells coming from it,
could result in fire or electric
shock. Immediately turn off the
power switch, unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and contact
your SATO reseller or technical
support center for repairs. It is
dangerous for the customer to try
to repair it, so absolutely do not
attempt repairs on your own.
Do not disassemble the printer
•
Do not disassemble or modify the
printer. Doing so could result in
fire or electric shock. Ask your
SATO reseller or technical support
center to conduct internal inspec-
tions, adjustments, and repairs.
Regarding the cutter
•
Do not touch the cutter with your
hands or do not put something
into the cutter. Doing so could
result in an injury.
Using the head cleaning fluid
•
Use of flame or heat around the head
cleaning fluid is prohibited. Absolutely
do not heat it or subject it to flames.
• Keep the fluid out of reach of children
to prevent them from accidentally
drinking it. If the fluid is drunk, imme-
diately consult with a physician.
