Do not attempt to effect repairs or modifications to this equipment. If a fault occurs that cannot be rectified
using the procedures described in this manual, turn off the power, unplug the machine, then contact your
authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance.
Meanings of Each Symbol
This symbol indicates warning items (including cautions).
Specific warning contents are drawn inside the symbol.
(The symbol on the left indicates a general caution.)
This symbol indicates prohibited actions (prohibited items).
Specific prohibited contents are drawn inside or near the symbol.
(The symbol on the left indicates “no disassembling”.)
This symbol indicates actions which must be performed.
Specific instructions are drawn inside or near the symbol.
(The symbol on the left indicates “disconnect the power cord plug from the outlet”.)
Do not use voltages other than the
voltage (AC) specified on the rating
plate, as this may cause fire or
electric shock.
Any other than the
specified AC voltage
is prohibited.
WARNING This indicates that there is the risk of death or serious injury if the
machines are improperly handled contrary to this indication.
Prohibited Do not plug in or unplug the power
cord plug with wet hands as this may
cause electric shock.
Do not place metal objects or
water-filled containers such as flower
vases, flower pots or mugs, etc. on
top of the machines. If metal objects
or spilled liquid enter the machines,
this may cause fire or electric
shock.
If the machines share the same
outlet with any other electrical
appliances which consume large
amounts of power, the voltage will
fluctuate widely each time these
appliances operate. Be sure to
provide an exclusive outlet for the
machine as this may cause fire or
electric shock.
Do not insert or drop metal,
flammable or other foreign objects into
the machines through the ventilation
slits, as this may cause fire or electric
shock.
Prohibited Prohibited
Prohibited Do not scratch, damage or modify
the power cords. Also, do not place
heavy objects on, pull on, or exces-
sively bend the cords, as this may
cause fire or electric shock.
Prohibited
Continued use of the machines in an
abnormal condition such as when the
machines are producing smoke or strange
smells may cause fire or electric shock. In
these cases, immediately turn off the power
switches and disconnect the power cord
plugs from the outlet. Then, contact your
authorized TOSHIABA TEC representative
for assistance.
Disconnect
the plug.
If the machines are dropped or their
cabinets damaged, first turn off the
power switches and disconnect the
power cord plugs from the outlet, and
then contact your authorized
TOSHIABA TEC representative for
assistance. Continued use of the
machine in that condition may cause
fire or electric shock.
Disconnect
the plug.

Safety Summary EO1-19036
Prohibited Prohibited
CAUTIONThis indicates that there is the risk of personal Injury or damage to
objects if the machines are improperly handled contrary to this indication.
Precaution
The following precautions will help to ensure that this machine will continue to function correctly.
• Try to avoid locations that have the following adverse conditions:
* Temperatures below 0 C and above 40 C * Direct sunlight
* Shared power socket * Excessive vibration
• Do not subject the machine to sudden shocks.
• Clean the cover and Top Window, etc. by wiping with a dry cloth or a cloth soaked with detergent and wrung
out thoroughly. Never use thinner or other volatile solvent for cleaning.
• At the end of the day, turn the power OFF, then clean and inspect the exterior of the machine.
• Try to avoid using this equipment on the same power supply as high voltage equipment or equipment likely to
cause mains interference.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the machines, as these items may become unbalanced and fall causing
injury.
• Do not lean against the machine. It may fall on you and could cause injury.
Request Regarding Maintenance
• Utilize our maintenance services.
After purchasing the machines, contact your authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance once per year.
• Our maintenance service performs the periodic checks and other work required to maintain the quality and
performance of the machines, preventing accidents beforehand.
For details, please consult your authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance.
• Using insecticides and other chemicals
Do not expose the machines to insecticides or other volatile solvents, as this will deteriorate the cabinet or other parts
or cause the paint to peel.
If foreign objects (metal fragments,
water, liquids) enter the machines,
first turn off the power switches and
disconnect the power cord plugs from
the outlet, and then contact your
authorized TOSHIABA TEC repre-
sentative for assistance. Continued
use of the machine in that condition
may cause fire or electric shock.
Disconnect
the plug.
Do not remove covers, repair or
modify the machine by yourself. It may
result in hazardous radiation expo-
sure.
Unauthorized modification is prohib-
ited.
No
disassembling.
When unplugging the power
cords, be sure to hold and pull on
the plug portion. Pulling on the cord
portion may cut or expose the inter-
nal wires and cause fire or electric
shock.
Disconnect
the plug.
Ensure that the equipment is
properly grounded. Extension cables
should also be grounded. Fire or
electric shock can occur on improp-
erly grounded equipment.
Connect a
grounding
wire.
Using the laser beam with large
mirrors or optical equipment will result
in increased risk to people’s eyes
and avoid viewing direct laser beam
for a long time.
Do not remove the glass surface (top
window) except for cleaning, as using
the machine in this condition may
adversely affect people’s eyes.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
Power Supply
(1)When the AC Adapter on the market is used:
When the AC adapter is equipped with the power switch, the scanner is turned on and off by turning on and
off the power switch. When the AC Adapter is not equipped with the power switch, the power is supplied by
plugging in the power cord (no RPC function can be used).
(2)When the power is supplied from the host (ECR/POS):

• When an error is detected at the power ON…
This scanner has the self-diagnosis function to detect an internal error when the power is turned ON. If an error
is found at this time, the scanner informs you of error occurrence by the LED and the buzzer. Number of the LED
flickering and the buzzer beep is predetermined according to the error contents as shown below. The error
indicationisrepeated at the one second interval untilthepower of the scanner is turned OFF.Incase of the error
occurrence, inform your TOSHIBA TEC representative of the error status.
