1-2. Handling Notes
1. Install the unit on a stand or table which has a flat, even surface.
2. Do not connect the AC power plug to the same outlet used for other electrical
noise generating devices (such as an electrical motor, etc.)
IMPORTANT!
Install the printer near an easily accessible socket-outlet.
3. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign objects into the unit
as these could cause the printer to malfunction.
4. When cleaning the outer surface of the unit, wipe away dirt, foreign matter,
etc., with a soft cloth, soaked in a neutral detergent.
5. Do not attempt to print when the paper or ribbon cartridge are not loaded in
the printer as this could damage the print head.
6. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
7. Donotopen the front cover while printing (thisisinterpretedas a mechanical
error and the printer will stop).

1. DÉBALLAGE ET INSTALLATION
1-1. Déballage
Après avoir déballé l’appareil, vérifiez si vous disposez bien de tous les accessoi-
res illustrés ci-après.
Fig. 1-1 Déballage (SP312)
1-2. Remarques concernant la manipulation
1. Installez l’appareil sur un support ou sur une table dont la surface est plate et
uniforme.
2. Ne branchez pas l’appareil à la même prise secteur que d’autres appareils
produisant des bruits électriques (appareils ayant un moteur électrique, etc.).
IMPORTANT !
Installez l’imprimante le plus près possible d’une prise secteur facilement
accessible.
3. Veillez à ne pas laisser tomber des trombones, punaises ou autres objets dans
l’appareil, cela risque de causer un mauvais fonctionnement.
4. Nettoyez la surface de l’imprimante à l’aide d’un chiffon doux humidifié et
d’un détergent neutre.
5. Ne lancez pas l’impression si le papier ou la cartouche de ruban ne sont pas
installés, sous peine d’endommager la tête d’impression.
6. N’utilisez jamais un rouleau de papier dont l’extrémité est collée au rouleau
central.
7. N’ouvrez pas le cache avant de l’appareil pendant l’impression ; en effet cela
serait interprété comme étant une erreur mécanique et l’impression s’inter-
romprait automatiquement.
