Handling Precautions

To maintain the initial level of performance of the printer and to prevent future problems from occurring,

observe the following precautions.

Also, include any necessary precautions to ensure the safe operation of your product by users.

To protect the heat elements, ICs, etc. from static electricity, discharge all static electricity

before handling the printer.

Pay special attention to the thermal head control terminals when handling.

Do not apply stress to the thermal head control terminals: Doing so may damage the

connectors and FFC (Flexible Flat Cable).

Using anything other than the specified paper may cause the following:

•

Poor printing quality

•

Abrasion of the thermal head

•

The thermal surface of the paper and the thermal head may stick together

•

Excessive noise

•

Fading print

•

Corroded thermal head

Always print or feed with the specified paper inserted to protect the platen, thermal head, and

reduction gear.

Do not hit or scratch the surface of the thermal head with sharp or hard objects as it may

damage the heat element.

If the thermal head remains in contact with the platen, the platen may become deformed and

deteriorate print quality.

If the platen is deformed, the uneven surface of the platen can be recovered by feeding paper

for a while.

Never connect or disconnect cables with the power on. Always power off the printer first.

When printing a black or checkered pattern at a high print rate in a low temperature or high

humidity environment, the vapor from the paper during printing may cause condensation to

form on the printer or may soil the paper.

If water condenses on the printer, keep the thermal head away from water drops as it may

corrode the thermal head, and turn printer power off until it dries.

Prevent contact with water and do not operate with wet hands as it may damage the printer or

cause a short circuit or fire.

Never use the printer in a dusty place, as it may damage the thermal head and paper feeder.
