2-2. Locating the Printer
When you locate your printer, keep the following tips in mind:
1. Protect your printer from excessive heat such as direct sunlight or heaters, and
keep it away from moisture and dust.
2. Place the printer on a firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free.
3. A steady power supply that is not subject to power surges should be connected
to the printer.
For example, do not connect it to the same circuit as a large, noise-producing
appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
4. Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s identifica-
tion plate.
5. To disconnect the printer, the plug has to be disconnected from the wall socket,
which has to be located close to the printer, and easy to access.
2-3. Handling Care
1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as
these cause the printer to malfunction.
2. Do not attempt to print when either paper or ribbon cartridge is not located in
the printer, otherwise the print head can be damaged.
3. Do not open the cover while printing.
4. Do not touch the print head immediately after printing as it gets very hot.
5. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
6. When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before
it runs out.
2-4. Maintenance
Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with
a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example:
1. Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you
feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
2. Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
3. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechani-
cal devices.
4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either
water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to
fall inside the printer.
5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a com-
pressed-air aerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this operation,
be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic compo-
nents.
