2. Instructions
Read the following instructions thoroughly before starting up your printer.
1) Choosing A Place for the Printer
Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where you plan to use it.
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.
When disposing of the printer, obey local regulations.
Shut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or unusual noise.
Immediately unplug the equipment and contact your dealer for advice.
Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous.

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.
