SUP58M1 Portable Thermal Printer User’s Manual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operating Precautions This section presents important information intended to ensure safe and effective use of the printer. Please read the following carefully. Notes on Safety Be sure to use the specified battery and power source provided by our company. Connection to an improper power source may cause fire, explosion or damage to the printer. Don’t put the battery into the fire or water, don’t disassemble or modify the battery, don’t be short circuit, otherwise may result in injury or fire even explosion. Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing or just when printing is over, do not touch the print head with hand or body, overheat may cause scald. If improper operation causes battery leak, and the liquid is spattered on the skin or clothes, please wash it with water, if spattered in the eyes, please rinse them with water thoroughly and see a doctor. Notes on Using Be sure not to print continuously over 1 meter, otherwise may cause damage to the print head. Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not be appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage. Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing, otherwise the printer may work improperly. If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of printing, or else some printing data may be lost. When print in Ir mode, be sure the Ir window of the host equipment face rightly the Ir window of the printer, the distance should be within the range of 30mm, and the angle should be within the range of 30°. When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should be within 10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes. 2
SUP58M1 Portable Thermal Printer User’s Manual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Too high（45℃）or too low（5℃） temperature and too high (85％)or too low (20％) relative humidity both effect the print quality. The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also may reduce the print quality even damage the printer. In the black mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the ready-print black mark is accordant with the black mark printing rules (details please refer to Chapter 4), otherwise the black mark can not be detected correctly. Be sure to use up the electricity of the battery before charge it, as it can ensure the using life of the battery. Notes on Handling The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is between -20℃ and 70℃, and the relative humidity is between 5% and 95%. If the printer will be stored for a long time, pleas be sure to take out the battery, otherwise may damage the battery and printer. Normal thermal paper can’t be kept too long, if you need to keep the receipt for a long period, please choose long term effective thermal paper. The print paper should be keep away from high temperature environment and point-blank sunshine. 3
