In the interest of safety, please observe the following precautions:
POWER REQUIREMENT
This Digital Color Printer is designed to operate on 120 V AC 50/60 Hz in the U.S.A. and Canada, and 220 V - 240 V AC
50/60 Hz in Europe. Never connect to any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency.
WARNING : THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
IF ABNORMALITIES ARISE, .....
Use of the unit during emission of smoke or abnormal sounds (without adopting countermeasures) is dangerous. In such a
case, unplug the power cord from the source outlet immediately, and request maintenance service from the sales dealer.
NEVER INSERT ANY OBJECT INTO THE UNIT
Foreign objects of any kind inserted into this unit constitute a safety hazard and can cause extensive damage.
DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER
Heavy objects placed on the Digital Color Printer can cause damage or obstruct proper ventilation.
PROTECT THE POWER CORD
Damage to the power cord may cause re or shock hazard. When unplugging, hold by the plug only and remove carefully.
DO NOT PLACE WATER CONTAINERS ON THE UNIT
Do not place ower vases, and other water-holding containers on the device. If, for some reason, water seeps to the inside of
the unit, unplug the power cord from the source outlet, and contact the sales dealer. If used without corrective measures, the
unit may be damaged.
“In the interest of safety, avoid handling of liquids near the unit.”
DO NOT REMOVE THE CABINET
Touching internal parts is dangerous, besides, it may lead to malfunction. Contact the sales dealer to carry out internal checks
and adjustments. Before opening the cover for eliminating a jammed paper, etc., be sure to disconnect the power cord plug.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG ABSENCE
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord during a long absence.
WHEN TRANSPORTING THE UNIT
When transporting the unit, remove the ink ribbon and print paper from the unit. See “INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TRANSPORTATION” on page 20.
BE CAREFUL AROUND PRINT PAPER EXIT SLOT
Don’t insert your hand or any material into the paper exit slot during printing.
Do not touch the cutter blade inside the paper exit slot.
Otherwise, your nger will be injured.
DO NOT TOUCH THE THERMAL HEAD
Do not touch the thermal head (located inside the unit).
They are heated to high temperature and may cause burns or injury when touched.
Also, malfunction caused by static electricity may occur.
WHEN PLACING THE PRINT PAPER, KEEP THE PRINT PAPER UPRIGHT
When you put the print paper sideways on a table, etc., it may roll and fall. This may cause injury.
CONNECTION CABLES
Use the provided power cord.

SHOOTING CONTENTS
REMOVE THE PAPER STRIP BIN WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING THE DOOR
When you open or close the door with the paper strip bin installed, the bin may be removed and fall. This may cause injury or
damage. Also, the chips generated by margin cut may jam at the paper exit slot.
DO NOT LEAVE THE PRINTING UNIT OPEN
When the printer is moved with the printing unit open, it may cause injury or damage.
CLOSE THE PRINTNIG UNIT FIRMLY
Take care not to pinch your hand when closing the printing unit. When the printing unit is not closed rmly, it may open during
transportation and it may cause injury or damage.
DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE PRINTING UNIT OR THE DOOR
If you push down on the printing unit or the door when they are open, this unit may fall and it can cause damage or injury.
INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots and holes are provided on the rear and both sides of this unit. Place the unit on a hard and level surface and
keep a space between the unit and the walls to ensure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a
space between the unit and the back and sides of the rack.
SUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulde and acidic ions are likely to be generated.
AVOID PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST
Do not place the unit at a high humidity and dusty locations. They can cause extensive damage to this unit. Avoid places where
the unit is likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapors.
AVOID PLACES LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT
Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PLACES THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in an unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed. If
dew is formed, printing is not possible.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating ambient temperature range is 5°C - 40°C (41°F - 104°F) and the humidity of 30% - 80% RH. When using the unit
on the system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
When the printer is used in a low temperature, it may take some time to start printing.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER
Coat aking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or any other solvent, if
rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit is sprayed with insecticide.
CARE OF THE CABINET
Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely before
operating. Never use petroleum base solutions or abrasive cleaners.
HEAD ABRASION
The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out ne details of the picture. In
such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer for replacing the head.
CONNECTING DEVICES
Read thoroughly “Operating Precautions” of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the Digital Color Printer. The
power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.
CAUTION ON RELOCATING
When transporting this unit, make sure it is not likely to be subjected to impacts. They can be a prime cause for damage.
Further, make sure to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and the cables from the connected devices.

OTHER CAUTIONS
Do not pull out nor touch the print paper until printing is completed. It may degrade the print quality or cause an error.
Dust or other foreign matter adhering to the print paper or the ink cassette, or deformation resulting from exposure to
extremely low or high temperatures could cause loss of color, uneven color or lines, or wrinkles in the print images.
Depending on the intermal temperature, the printer may stop printing temporarily during printing. (The POWER indicator
blinks green.) Please wait for the printer to resume printing.
Do not touch the print paper.
Each time printing is completed, remove the prints. If the prints are not removed, a paper jam may occur.

HANDLING OF PAPER / INK RIBBON SET
BEFORE PRINTING
Fingerprints or dust on the paper’s printing surface may degrade the print quality and
cause paper jams.
When the print paper or ink ribbon is abruptly transferred from a cool place to a hot
place, vapor or dew is generated on the surface, which causes paper jams or degraded
print quality. Leave the print paper in the room to stabilize its temperature before use.
If you repeat the installation of print paper procedure more than the designated number
of times, the indicated number of prints may not be made. In addition, if you replace the
print paper before it is used up, the indicated number of prints may not be made.
AFTER PRINTING
If the paper absorbs nonvolatile organic solvents (alcohol, ester, ketone, etc.) the print may
be discolored.
Discoloration of prints is accelerated if the print paper comes into contact with soft vinyl
chloride such as transparent tape.
Avoid storing prints in direct sunlight or places with high humidity.
STORAGE OF PAPER / INK RIBBON SET
Do not store the print paper and ink ribbon in the container made of soft polyvinyl chloride.
They may be discolored because of chemical reaction.
Store the print paper and ink ribbon out of direct sunlight and away from heating appliances
in a cool, dark place where the temperature is 5˚C to 30˚C and the humidity is 20% to 60%
