•
Don’t use flammable sprays close to the printer.
•
When cleaning the printer, dampen some gauze and wash it out thoroughly. Do not use flammable solvents,
such as alcohol, benzene or paint thinner.
•
If the printer is not working properly, emitting smoke or strange smells, turn it off immediately, unplug the power

•
Don’t use multi socket adapters to plug more than one device into one single plug.
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in.
•
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the printer.
•
Before cleaning the printer, always turn it off and unplug the power cord.
•
Do not connect the printer to a power source that provides other than the rated voltage (100V to 240 AC, 50/60
Hz). Using any other voltage could cause a fire or electric shock.
•
Do not pull the power cord when it is connected to the power cord socket on the rear of the printer or otherwise
apply undue force to the power cord connector. Doing so could damage the wiring and cause a short, fire, or
electric shock.
•
When unplugging the power cord from the power outlet or the socket on the rear of the printer, always grasp the plug
or connector.
Failure to follow the warnings and cautions describe below during use and maintenance of the printer
could result in accidents, fire, electrical shock or burns:
•
Do not touch the print head immediately after printing.
•
Do not use this printer and its accessories for any purpose other than the one designed to.
•
Do not scratch the print head.
•
Do not clean the print head using cloths that have metallic particles adhering to them. If the print head is
scratched it cannot print in the scratch zone.
•
When cleaning the print head be
careful.
CAUTION
To reduce the risks associated with short circuit, fire and/or electrical shock, which if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury:
•
Do not place heavy objects, metallic objects or containers of liquids on the printer.
•
Do not set up the printer on an unstable surface or in a location subject to vibrations.
•
Do not set up the printer in a hot, humid or dusty location, nor in the vicinity of an open flame.

•
Keep the area around the power plug free of obstructions so that you can unplug the power cord at any time.
•
Do not cover the fan holes.
•
Keep the area around the printer free as shown in the picture on page 14.
Failure to follow the warnings and cautions describe below during use and maintenance of the printer could
result in accidents, fire, electrical shock or burns:
•
Use only the ribbon cassette on equipment. Never attempt to disassemble the ribbon cassette or place another
ribbon inside the cassette. Do not pull the plate or sheet while print is being in process
•
Do not expose HTP600 to direct sunlight, high humidity or dust. Use and store the printer and its accessories
respecting the environmental conditions listed below:
Temperature °C Humidity RH

Storage environment 5 - 35 35 - 85
•
During the printing process never open the cassette cover and never touch the cleaning auxiliary roller or the
conveyor roller.
•
Never use the printer without the cleaning cassette. Using the printer when the cleaning roller is dirty can damage the
print head.
•
Before loading the cleaning cassette, take out the ribbon cassette. Trying to load the cleaning cassette while the
ribbon cassette is still in place could cause the cleaning cassette to be loaded incorrectly.
•
After loading the cleaning cassette, make sure that the guide tabs are securely fixed in the notches of the cassette.
