This manual is intended for both B-SX4T series and B-SX5T series. Please note that the
illustrations and pictures provided are of the B-SX4T series.
The SP40II has been developed from the B-SX4T-GS10-QP, and the differences between two
are the color of the front cover and the operation panel ass’y, the model name label, and the
CD-ROM. The other specifications including the firmware are common.

WARNING!
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord before replacing the main parts.
2. Never perform disassembling, assembling, and cleaning just after printing. Doing so may cause
you to be injured by the print head and the inner parts of the printer being hot.
3. When cleaning the cutter, be careful not to be injured by the cutter blade.

2. Do not remove the screws below. Doing so will require the printer block position adjustment with
the jig.
3. Be careful not to damage the sensor window. If so, the sensor cannot detect the feed gap or the
black mark correctly, causing improper printing.
4. When replacing parts or performing maintenance on the printer, be careful not to damage the print
head with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please treat it carefully by not
