11
Do not set on an
unstable area
• Do not set on an unstable area, such as a wobbly table or slanted
area or an area subject to strong vibration. If the printer falls off or
topples over, it could injure someone.
Do not place
containers full of water
or other liquid on the
printer
• Do not place flower vases, cups, or other containers holding liquids,
such as water or chemicals, or small metal objects near the printer.
If they are spilled and get inside the printer, immediately turn off the
power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact
your SATO reseller or technical support center. Using the printer in
this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not put objects
inside the printer
• Do not insert or drop in metal or burnable objects inside the printer’s
openings (cable outlets, etc.). If foreign objects do get inside the
printer, immediately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord
from the outlet, and contact your SATO reseller or technical support
center. Using the printer in this condition could cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not use other than
the specified voltage
• Do not use other than the specified voltage. Doing so could result in
fire or electric shock.
Always ground the
connections
• Always connect the printer’s ground wire to a ground. Not grounding
the ground wire could result in electric shock.

Safety Precautions
12
Handling the power
cord
• Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Also,do not place
heavy objects on the power cord, heat it, or pull it because doing so
could damage the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock.
• If the power cord becomes damaged (core is exposed, wires broken,
etc.), contact your SATO reseller or technical support center. Using
the power cord in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull the power cord. Using
the power cord in such a condition could cause a fire or electric
shock.
When the printer
has been dropped or
broken
• If the printer is dropped or broken, immediately turn off the power
switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO
reseller or technical support center. Using the printer in this condition
could cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use the printer
when something is
abnormal about it
• Continuing to use the printer in the event something is abnormal
about it, such as smoke or unusual smells coming from it, could
result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power switch,
unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO
reseller or technical support center for repairs. It is dangerous for the
customer to try to repair it, so absolutely do not attempt repairs on
your own.
Do not disassemble
the printer
• Do not disassemble or modify the printer. Doing so could result in fire
or electric shock. Ask your SATO reseller or technical support center
to conduct internal inspections, adjustments, and repairs.
Regarding the cutter
• Do not touch the cutter with your hands or do not put something into
the cutter. Doing so could result in an injury.

13
Using the head
cleaning fluid
• Use of flame or heat around the head cleaning fluid is prohibited.
Absolutely do not heat it or subject it to flames.
• Keep the fluid out of reach of children to prevent them from
accidentally drinking it. If a child accidentally drinks the fluid,
immediately consult with a physician.
Laser beam
• Do not look into the laser radiation window, and do not direct the
laser beam at someone. If the laser beam hits eyes, it may cause
visual disturbance.
Print head
• The print head is hot after printing. Be careful not to get burned when
replacing media or cleaning immediately after printing.
• Touching the edge of the print head with bare hands could result in
injury. Be careful not to become injured when replacing media or
cleaning.
• The customer should not replace the print head. Doing so could
result in injury, burns or electric shock.
Do not use in
hazardous locations
• The printer is not explosion proof certified.
• Do not use in a potentially explosive environment or atmosphere.
Do not place in areas
with high humidity
• Do not place the printer in areas with high humidity or where
condensation forms. If condensation forms, immediately turn off the
power switch and do not use the printer until it dries. Using the printer
while condensation is on it could result in electric shock.
Carrying the printer
• When moving the printer, always unplug the power cord from the
outlet and check to make sure all external wires are disconnected
before moving it. Moving the printer with the wires still connected
could damage the cords or connecting wires and result in a fire or
electric shock.
• Do not carry the printer with media loaded in it. The media could fall
out and cause an injury.
• When setting the printer on the floor or a stand, be sure not to get
your fingers or hands pinched under the printer feet.
• Do not carry the printer with the barcode checker stand installed. The
barcode checker stand could fall out and cause injury.

Safety Precautions
14
Power supply
• Do not operate the power switch or plug in/ unplug the power cord
with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Power cord
• Keep the power cord away from hot devices. Getting the power cord
close to hot devices could cause the cord’s covering to melt and
cause a fire or electric shock.
• When unplugging the power cord from the outlet, be sure to hold it by
the plug. Pulling it by the cord could expose or break the core wires
and cause a fire or electric shock.
• The power cord set that comes with the printer is especially made for
this printer. Do not use it with any other electrical devices.
Handling the barcode
checker stand kit
• Be careful avoid injury from pointed part of the barcode checker
stand kit.
Top cover
• Be careful not to get your fingers pinched when opening or closing
the top cover. Also be careful that the top cover does not slip off and
drop.
Loading media
• When loading a media roll, be careful not to get your fingers pinched
between the media roll and the supply unit.
When not using the
printer for a long time
• When not using the printer for a long time, unplug the power cord
from the outlet to maintain safety.
During maintenance
and cleaning
• When maintaining and cleaning the printer, unplug the power cord
from the outlet to maintain safety.

15
Precautions for Installation and Handling
Select a Safe Location
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment.
Refer to the following instructions for installation and handling of the CL4NX/CL6NX printer.
•Place the printer on a surface that is flat and level.
If the surface is not flat and level, this may cause bad print quality. This may also cause a
malfunction and decrease the life span of the printer.
•Do not place the printer on a location that produces vibration.
Giving serious vibration or shock to the printer may cause a malfunction and shorten the life span
of the printer.
•Keep the printer out of high temperature and humidity.
Avoid locations subject to extreme or fast changes in temperature or humidity.
•Do not place the printer in a location subject to water or oil.
Water or oil entering inside the printer may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction.
•Avoid dust.
Dust build up may result in bad print quality.
•Keep out of direct sunlight.
The printer has a built-in optical sensor. Exposure to direct sunlight will make the sensor less
responsive and may cause the media to be detected incorrectly. Close the top cover when
printing.
•Do not use in hazardous locations.
Do not use in a potentially explosive environment or atmosphere. Doing so could cause a fire of
explosion.

Power Supply

Power Supply
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment.
Refer to the following instructions for installation and handling of the CL4NX/CL6NX printer.
•The printer requires an AC power supply.
Be sure to connect the printer to an AC power supply.
•Connect the power cord to a grounded power outlet.
Make sure that the printer is connected to a grounded power outlet.
•Supply a stable source of electricity to the printer.
When using the printer, do not share its power outlet with other electrical devices. This could
cause power fluctuations and performance issues with your printer.

Printing
The print result varies depending on the use environment (temperature and humidity), the supply
condition (the combination of media and ribbon), and the printer settings (the print speed, the print
darkness, etc.).
Please sufficiently test the printer in your use environment, and use it with the optimal combination.
If anything is unclear, or if you have any questions, contact your SATO sales representative or reseller.
