Remember the following points when doing this.
Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to vibration.
The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and unobstructed.
Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to connect the two.
Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of extreme heat.
Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should not be on the same
electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other appliances that cause power spikes.
Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.
This device employs a DC motor and switches that have an electrical contact point.
Avoid using the device in environments where silicon gas can become volatile.

2) Handling Care
Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as these cause the
printer to malfunction.
Do not attempt to print when either paper or ribbon cartridge is not located in the printer,
otherwise the print head can be damaged.
Do not open the cover while printing.
Do not touch the print head immediately after printing as it gets very hot.
Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before it runs out.
3) Maintenance
Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with a modicum of care in
order to avoid malfunctions. For example:
Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you feel comfortable,
then the environment is suitable for your printer.
Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices.
To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either water with a little
detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to fall inside the printer.
The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a compressed-air aerosol (sold
for this purpose). When performing this operation, be sure not to bend or damage any cable
connections or electronic components.
