Never connect to any outlet or power supply having a different voltage or frequency. WARNING : THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED. AVERTISSEMENT: CET APPAREIL DOIT ETRE MIS A LA TERRE. 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 fire or shock hazard. When unplugging, hold by the plug only and remove carefully. DO NOT PLACE WATER CONTAINERS ON THE UNIT Do not place flower 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. 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 finger will be injured. DO NOT TOUCH THE THERMAL HEAD Do not touch your hand to the thermal head (located inside the unit). The thermal head is heated to high temperature. This may cause injury. BE CAREFUL WITH THE PRINTING UNIT Do not move the unit while the printing unit is sliding out. This may cause injury. Be careful not to catch your finger in the printing unit when the printing unit is being retracted into the unit. CONNECTION CABLES Use the provided power cord. INSTALLATION LOCATIONS PRECAUTIONS 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 locate at least 10cm (4 inches) from walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a space between the unit and the back and sides of the rack. UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be generated. 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. PLACES LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT CONNECTIONS PREPARATION 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. FEATURES PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST 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%. When using the unit on the system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER 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 fine 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. OTHERS Coat flaking 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. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OTHER CAUTIONS 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. NOTE: YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS REQUESTED FOR THE LOSS OF IMAGES IN MEMORY DUE TO THE SUDDEN OCCURRENCE OF A MALFUNCTION. As for Print paper and ink ribbon, refer to “PAPER / INK RIBBON SET”.

If the FEED & CUT procedure is not completed when replacing the print paper, two or three prints may be printed with blank parts due to hand oil or dust. When the print paper is abruptly transferred from a cool place to a hot place, vapor or dew is generated on the paper’s surface causing paper jams or degraded print quality. Leave the print paper in the room to stabilize its temperature before using it. • If you repeat the FEED & CUT procedure more than the designated number of times while installing the print paper, 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. 2 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. 2 STORAGE • Leaving the print paper in contact with PVC- based materials causes color of prints to • come off and to be stained. Never store the print paper in places that are close to heater or in direct sunlight.
