Operating Precautions
Please follow the precautions below to enjoy and maintain the full performance of
the printer.
u
Using the Printer
● Be careful not to drop or bump the printer on a hard surface.
● Do not install the printer in direct sunlight or such areas.
Suitable environment for the use of the printer is as follows:
◆Operating temperature :-10°C to 50°C
◆Relative humidity : 10% to 90% (No condensation)
● Do not install the printer near devices that generate strong
electromagnetic fields such as a copy machine.
● Do not open the platen cover during printing .
● Do not remove or reinstall the communication cable during printing
or transmission.
● Do not touch the connectors of the communication during printing.
● Switch the POWER OFF when not in use.
● Do not use alcohol or other solvent.
●The AC adapter, the battery charger and the battery pack may
become warm when in use. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
● When the battery pack is used at low temperature, the length of time
the printer can be used may be shortened.
uThermal Paper Handling
● Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry and dark place.
● Do not rub the paper with hard object.
● Do not leave the paper with hard object.
● Do not allow plastic film, erasers, or adhesive tape to touch the paper
for long periods.
● Do not stack the thermal paper with diazo copies immediately
after copying or wet-type copies.
