WARNING
lNever handle the equipment in the following manners, as it may break, become out of order, or overheat
causing smoke and resulting in fire or electric shock.
If the equipment is used in an abnormal condition, such as when broken, then problems, smoke
emission, abnormal odor/noise, and fire can result. If an abnormal condition exists, be sure to turn off
the power, disconnect the power plug from a plug socket, and contact our dealer. Never repair the
equipment on your own - it is very dangerous.
•Do not allow the equipment to receive a strong impact or shock, such as kicking, stomping, hitting,
dropping, and the like.
•Install the equipment in a well-ventilated place. Do not use it in such a manner that its ventilation port
will be blocked.
•Do not install the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions are expected, or in a
place where salt or gases are contained in the air.
•Do not connect/disconnect a power cord or a data cable, while holding the cable. Do not pull, install,
use, or carry the equipment in such a manner that force will be applied to the cables.
•Do not drop or insert any foreign substances, such as clips or pins, into the equipment.
•Do not spill any liquid or spray any chemical-containing liquid over the equipment. If any liquid is
spilled on it, turn off the power, disconnect the power cable and power cord from the plug socket, and
so on, and contact our dealer.
•Do not disassemble or remodel the equipment. Negligence of this may cause fire or electric shock.
•Should you drop or break this AC adapter by any chance, unplug it immediately and contact our office.
Using it in that condition may result in fire or electric shock.
•Should water enter inside the equipment by any chance, unplug it and contact our office. Using it in
that condition may result in fire or electric shock.
•Use the equipment only with the specified commercial power supply. Negligence of this may result in
fire, electric shock, or problems.
•Do not damage, break, process, bend/pull by force, twist, or bundle an AC adapter cord. Also, do not
put a heavy substance on it or heat it. The AC adapter could be broken, resulting in fire, electric shock,
or trouble. If the AC adapter cord is damaged, contact our office.
•Do not connect/disconnect the AC adapter with wet hands. It may result in electric shock or other
problems.
•Do not overload a single electrical outlet, using a table tap or a current tap socket. It may result in fire
or electric shock.
lAn equipment packing bag must be discarded or kept away from children. A child can suffocate if the
bag is placed over the head.

iDP-460 User’s Manual
PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
•Do not use or store the equipment in a place exposed to fire, moisture, or direct sunlight, or in a place
near a heater or a thermal device where the prescribed operating temperature and humidity are not met,
or in a place exposed to much oil, iron powder, or dust. The equipment may become out of order, emit
smoke, or catch fire.
•Do not install the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions are expected, or in a
place where salt or gases are contained in the air. There is a danger of fire or electric shock.
•Do not put any object on the printer. It may cause trouble.
•Do not use the equipment near a radio or TV receiver. Do not share the power from a plug socket a
radio or TV receiver is connected to. It may cause a reception problem.
•Use the equipment only at the specified voltage and frequency. Otherwise, it may emit smoke and catch
fire or cause other problems.
•Confirm that a plug socket used for connection has sufficient capacity.
•Do not overload a single electrical outlet in connecting the power cable. It may result in the cable
catching fire or a power outage. Also, do not stamp or put any object on the cable.
•Never connect a grounding cable to a gas pipe. There is a danger of explosion. When connecting or
disconnecting the grounding cable, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the plug socket.
•When connecting/disconnecting the cables, be sure to turn off the power first, including the connected
side, and then connect/disconnect them, holding a plug and a connector. Do not pull or carry the
equipment with a load applied to the cable.
•Connect a connector cable securely. If a reverse-polarity connection is made, internal elements may be
broken or a mating device may be adversely affected.
•Use a shielding wire or twisted pair wire for a signal line, in order to minimize noise effect. Avoid
connecting to a device that is likely to generate noise.
•When a drawer kick connector is provided, do not connect any device other than the prescribed solenoid
specifications. Negligence of this could cause trouble.
•Use the equipment in an environment where there is a plug socket near the main body and you can
easily disconnect the power plug from it, to shut off the power.
•When the equipment will not be used for a long period of time, unplug it.
•When transporting the equipment, remove the rolled paper from it.
•Install the equipment on a flat, stable desk in a well-ventilated place free from vibrations. (Do not block
the ventilation port.)
