1-a) Before installing
About environment for installation
?Do not install in humid and dusty room. It may
cause fire and/or electric shock.
?Do not install the equipments near the
heat emitting apparatus such as stove
and heater or near the flammables such
as curtain. It may cause fire.
?Do not place on shaky table or inclined
location. It may fall or drop and cause
injury to nearby persons.

?Do not place where there is direct sunlight.
It may cause deformation of plastic housing
and decoloration of the prints.
?Enough space must be provided around the
equipments. This is necessary for easy
operation as well as for ventilation.
If the ventilation opening is closed by
obstacle, heat can not be dissipated and
it may cause a fire.
( Place with the clearance as shown in
the illustration. )
?Do not place in the room with much
vibration. It may cause troubles on the
equipments.
?Do not place in such place where the
temperature changes rapidly. If the
cold room is suddenly heated it may
cause condensation on the equipments
and damage the print quality or even

1-b) Before turning the power ON
About power source
?Do not use any other outlet than following.
Do not connect more than one equipment
onto one outlet. Otherwise, it may cause
a fire and/or electric shock. The specified
rating of this equipment is following.
100~240 VAC 2A
?Dust on the plug and electrical outlet must be removed. If used without
removing, a small amount of electricity runs continuously through the dust
by the effect of moisture etc. and may eventually cause a fire.
?Be careful so that the power supply cord
is not damaged. If the cord is twisted,
pulled strongly or placed underneath a
heavy object, it may be damaged and become
a cause of fire.
?Do not handle the plug with wet hand
because it may cause electric shock.
?When you use an extension cord, do not use the cord which is rated at less
than 125V 10A. Excessive heat or smoke will be caused.

About connecting the grounding line
?Grounding line must be connected. If the
equipment is not grounded and there is
an electric leakage, it may cause electric
shock or fire.
<Grounding line may be connected to the following points.>
?Grounding terminal on the electric outlet
?The line connected to an copper rod which is buried in the ground at the
depth of 65cm(26inch) or deeper.
<Grounding line may not be connected to the following points.>
?Gas pipe ( There is a danger of fire and/or explosion. )
?Water faucet or pipe ( It does not lead to the ground as plastic pipe
may be used. However, it can be connected if it is marked as possible
grounding facility.)
?Grounding line of telephone or lightning rod ( It is dangerous as large
electric current will run when hit by lightning. )

?Do not put anything containing water such
as vase etc. on the equipment. If water is
spilled, it may cause fire or electric
shock.
?Do not put any metal pieces such as paper
