The Eltron Company P310 Printer User Manual


 
1.4 CAUTIONARY NOTES
Exercise reasonable care when servicing P310 printers, as follows:
Other than prescribed operator maintenance, only qualified
personnel should remove the case or otherwise attempt to
repair this equipment. Eltron offers product training to those
wishing to service this equipment.
Servicing personnel must avoid touching exposed circuitry.
Inputs to the Power Supply operate at power line voltages. Any
removal of protective insulation can expose dangerous voltages.
Always remove the power cord while effecting repairs.
During operation, the Print Head operates at an elevated
temperature. Exercise caution when touching parts on or near
this area.
Servicing Personnel should avoid any rough handling of the
Printers or their component parts. The icon to the left also
serves as an indicator alerting conditions of general concern to
users.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) of energy can damage or
destroy the circuit components inside the Printer. People
acquire such charges while they move around. ESD problems
typically increase during periods of low humidity.
Users should not twist the Printer Ribbon Take Up Spindle
manually. Doing so unnecessarily stresses an associated belt.
Any slack left after a ribbon installation gets removed during an
initialization that occurs with the latch-down of the Print Head.
Particle contamination, such as dust, can reduce image quality
and produce excess wear to some printer components. Locate
Printers and print media in areas essentially contamination free.
To avoid fiber deposits, any Cleaning Swabs used must have
foam tips. Also, cleaning solution impurities can leave deposits.
Therefore, only use 99-percent pure or better alcohol.
