Precautions
◆Safety Precautions
In using the present appliance, please keep the following safety regulations in order to prevent any hazard or material
damage.

5
◆Operation Precautions
Be sure not to print continuously over 1meter, otherwise may cause damage to the printer head.

6
Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not be appeared in the rain,
or else may cause printer damage.
Please do not open the paper case cover when printing; otherwise the printer may work improperly.
If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of printing, or else some
printing data may be lost.
When print in Ir or IrDA mode, bus sure the Ir window of the host equipment face rightly the Ir window of
the printer, the distance should be within the range of 50cm, and the angle should be within the range of
30°.
When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should be within10 meters, otherwise
the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
Too high(50℃) or too low(-10℃)temperature and too high(80%) or too low (20%) relative humidity both
effect the quality.
The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also may reduce the print quality even damage
the printer.
In the black mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the preprinted black mark is accordant with
the black mark specifications (details please refer to 4.2); otherwise the black mark can not be detected
correctly.
Be sure to use up the power of the battery before charge it, as it can ensure the using life of the battery.
◆Storage Precautions
The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is between -20℃and 70℃,
and the relative humidity is between 5% and 95%.
If the printer will be stored for a long time, please be sure to take out the battery, otherwise may damage
the battery and printer.
Normal thermal paper can’t be kept too long time. If you need to keep the receipt for a long period,
please choose long term effective thermal paper.
The paper should be keep away from high temperature environment and point-blank sunshine.
◆Battery Safety Precautions.
Be sure to carefully read the user manual before using the produce.
Ignore the following instructions may cause battery overheating, fire, explosion, damage and/or

7
performance, and reduced product life.
1) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
2) Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
3) Do not allow water, sea water from entering or leaking into the battery inside. If the batteries internal
safety device burn, when changing it, it may produce any abnormal current and/or voltage, and cause
any abnormal chemical reaction, then may cause the battery overheating, fire and/or explosion.
4) Do not use or place the battery nearby the stove or other high temperature places. Excessive heats
maybe damage the resin shell and/or the insulation materials, and then the battery may be caused
overheating, burning and/or explosion.
5) When charging, use a specified charger. Other conditions (high temperature, high pressure/high
current, using the modified battery charger, etc) excludes here may result in over-charging the battery
and abnormal current and/or voltage, cause abnormal chemical reaction, and may cause the battery
overheat, light and/or explosion.
6) Battery clearly marks with positive and negative. When connect the battery with the charger and/or
printer, be sure to verify the correct battery orientation. Reverse insertion will cause the reverse charging
and may cause abnormal chemical reaction, and then may cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or
explosion.
7) Do not make the battery contact with the power outlet and/or car cigarette lighter socket. This may
cause high pressure and excessive current, and lead to the battery overheat, burning and/or explosion.
8) Do not heat the battery or put the battery into fire. This may melt insulation material and/or damage
safety devices or safety equipment, then ignite electrolytic solution, and cause the battery overheat,
burning and/or explosion.
9) Do not use the battery with contrary (+) and (-) Location. In the charging process, this will cause the
reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction. During use, may appear unpredictable
current exception, and cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
10) Do not make the battery (+) and (-) contact with any metal. Also, do not carry along or store batteries
with metal objects, such as necklaces, hair clips and so on. Battery internal short circuit may cause
excessive current, and lead to the battery overheats, ignite, and/or explosion and the adjacent metal
objects (necklaces, hairpins, etc.) may be overheating.
11) Do not throw or heavy attack the battery. If internal safety device of the batteries burn, the battery
charging may cause any abnormal current and/or voltage, and abnormal chemical reaction, and lead to
the battery overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
