Printer mechanism handing
1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed.
Use the ‘Feed’ button where necessary
2) The thermal elements of the print head and driver
ICs are fragile, do not touch them with any metal ob-
jects.
3) Since the areas around the print head become very
hot during and just after printing, do not touch them.
4) Open the printer cover ONLY when necessary.
5) Dust and dirt can damage the print elements, avoid
finger contact.
6) Thermal paper containing Na, K, Cl ions can harm
the print head thermal elements. Therefore, be sure to
use only the specified paper.
