Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” (page 22)
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
unit with a damaged power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,
disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord 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 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
If you obstruct the ventilation holes, the unit may not
offer full performance.
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 quantities of moisture,
condensation may form inside the printer. In such
cases the printer may 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. 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.
On Transporting the Printer
Do not transport the printer with the supplied
accessories attached. Doing so may cause malfunction.
