4.1 Please notice, the ESD wrist ring and the humidity manufa c tures ETC, when using
the printer,to protect the inner el e ctronic parts of the printer from the damage of
ESD,because the TPH of the Printer and photoelectric sensor are ESD Sensitive
parts.
4.2 For protecting plastic shaft,Don ’ t smear any oil or others on the rubber parts
4.3 Don ’ t touch the TPH, TPH having the palm oil,will induce the usage of the printer.If
any oil or others in the TPH,pl ease using an alcohol cotton stick clean the area
between plastic shaft and printer head at once.PS,Don ’ t strike the TPH.
4.4 Due to the printer is easy-paper structure,you need pick up the rubber stick only
push the rubber stick.So,if the paper jam,push harder will cause the rubber stick
gearwheel damaged.so pl ease don ' t push the paper harder , pl ease do open the cover
and re-fill the paper .
4.5 The temperature of the TPH protection must be below 65 ℃,if you print
contin u ously,Because the exterior of the temperature of the IC protection & motor
can ’ t not over 90 ℃to protect the motor thread ring.
4.6 Pl ea s e use the good quality paper,because the sens i tive of the paper will
inf l uence print effect,meanwhile,rough paper will inc r ease the excessive wear to the
printer head, and reduce the life of the printer .
