Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” (page 24)
• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing
or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use
the unit with a damaged power cable.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,
disconnect the power cable.
• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the
cable itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of
electric shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire
or electric shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into
the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and
consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Ventilation holes are provided on the back of the unit
to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to
obstruct them with other objects or by covering the
unit with a cloth etc.
Note
Two protruberences placed on the rear of the printer
are provided to prevent the ventilation holes being
covered over by a wall, etc., when installing the printer
near the wall. These protruberences are not to be
used as feet to install the printer laying on its back.
On condensation
• If the printer is subjected to wide and sudden changes
in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of
moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In
such cases the printer will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.
If moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and
leave the printer standing for at least one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on
the ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the
printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is
used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the
printout.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible,
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location.
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when
the printing pack is removed from its package.
