･To avoid damage to the product, protect it from physica
l
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially
careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
･Do not store or use the product where it could be
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or
humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the
product may be damaged and insulation may
deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
･Do not use the product near a source of strong
electromagnetic radiation, or near a highly electrically
charged object. These may cause a malfunction.
･This product is not designed to be entirely water- or
dust-proof. Do not use it in an especially dusty

Handling recording paper and recordings
Storing recording paper
･Store rolls of thermal paper at not more than 40℃.
･The paper will change color if exposed to light over a long
period, so do not unwrap a roll of paper until you are
ready to use it.
Storing data recordings
As the recording paper is thermally sensitive, be aware of
the following points:
･To avoid paper discoloration, do not expose it to direct
sunlight, and store at no more than 40℃and 90% RH.
･For permanent storage of important recorded data,
photocopy the recording paper.
･If the thermal paper is exposed to an organic solvent such
as alcohol or ketone, it may no longer develop properly,
and recorded data may fade.
･Also, the thermal recording paper is ruined by contact
with wet Daizo copy paper.
To clean the product, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
moistened with water or mild detergent. Never use
solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones,
thinners or gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the
case.
