items carefully.

1．

．．

．Safety warning

The print head is a thermal element and it is at a high

temperature during printing or just after operation, therefore do

not touch it or its peripherals for safety’s sake.

The print head is an ESD-sensitive device. To prevent damage,

do not touch either its printing parts or connecting parts.

2．

．．

．Notices

1) Install the printer on a flat and stable surface;

2) Reserve adequate space around the printer so that convenient

operation and maintenance can be performed;

3) Keep the printer far away from water source, and do not expose

the printer to direct sunlight, strong light and heat;

4) Do not use or store the printer in a place exposed to high

temperature, high humidity or serious pollution;

5) Do not place the printer in a place exposed to vibration or

impact;

6) No condensation is allowed to the printer. In case of such

condensation, do not turn on the power until it has completely
