1.1.1
Guideline to Inspections This guideline is provided to check if the machine is in a dangerous status or not. A
safety mechanism or caution label is needed to prevent the owner, operators, or ser-
vice personnel from sustaining injuries. This check list shows these items. Should any
dangers arise that are not listed here, you must determine whether or not it is safe to
continue operating the machine.
Notes:
Electric Factors
– Is the primary side power shortcircuited to the machine frame?
– Is the covering of the cable wire peeled off? Is the cable correctly secured with
cable ties or clamps?
Mechanical Factors
– Are there any burrs, sharp edges, etc. which may be harmful?
Other Factors
Are there any explosive parts, such as inflated capacitors, etc.?
Are any nonspecified chemicals, solvents, etc. being used?
Danger: For inspections, be sure to turn OFF the power switch and then unplug the
power cord.
1.1.2

1.3.1
Hardware Options The following three items are hardware options for this printer.
Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF)
The ASF is a device to feed cut sheet paper, sheet by sheet, by controls from the
printer. Fig. 1-8 shows the Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF).
Fig. 1-8: Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF)
Optional Tractor
The Optional Tractor has the same function as the printer’s built-in tractor. By install-
ing this device, two types of continuous form feed paper can be used with the paper
remaining loaded. Fig. 1-9 shows the Optional Tractor.
