OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Please follow the precautions shown below to ensure full functionality of the printer.
■Using the Printer
◆ Switch the power off when not in use.
◆ The printer has the structure which can stand for drop from 1.2m height to concrete
surface (1 time drop for each 6 face side). However, it may be damaged according
to the surface situation of a fall place, a fall angle or the degradation situation of a
printer, etc.
◆ Take care about a surrounding temperature and surrounding humidity in the case of
use of the printer.Suitable environment for the use of the printer is as follows:
Ambient temperature: -20°C to 50°C
Relative humidity: 10 to 85% (noncondensing)
◆ DO NOT install the printer near devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields
such as a copy machine.
◆ DO NOT connect the AC cables of the AC adapter and the battery charger to the
same outlet with devices that generate noise.
◆ DO NOT open the paper cover during printing.
◆ DO NOT remove or reinstall the interface cable during printing or transmission. DO
NOT touch the connectors of the interface cable during printing.
◆ Do not close the paper outlet or do not press down the paper which came out. It
becomes the cause of a paper jam.
(◆ DO NOT cut any sheets of thick paper or label paper with the paper cutter installed
in the paper outlet. Failure to follow this instruction may cause a cutting error or
make the cutting edge dull due to label paper adhesive sticking to the cutter.
◆ Remove the battery pack, when you do not use a printer for a long time. It becomes
superfluous electric discharge, and even if it charges, it becomes impossible to use it.
◆ Clean the printer using soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or other solvent.
◆ Before use, always clean the terminals using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. If the
terminals are dirty, it may not be possible to obtain proper contact.
◆ Be sure to wipe the head with a soft swab etc. at head cleaning.
◆ Pull out the AC plug of the AC adapter from a wall socket except the time of use.
- 13 -
◆ Keep the battery pack in a cool place in the case of long-term storage. Moreover, if
possible, avoid long-term storage in the fully charged state. It affect a bad
influence on the battery life.
◆ Clean the terminal of the battery pack regularly (wipe them with a dry cloth).
◆ In order to fully demonstrate the performance of a battery pack, charge in the state
where circumference temperature and the temperature of the battery pack are
10 ºC - 35 ºC.
◆ Clean the terminal of the exclusive charger regularly (Wipes with the dry cloth).
◆ Do not connect the AC cable of the AC adapter or the charger to the same power
supply wall socket as the equipment which generates a noise.
When printing at the rate of high printing, disorder may arise in printing or printing
sound may become large. However, this is a phenomenon generated on the
character of the paper, and is not failure of the printer.
■Thermal Paper Handling
◆ Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry, and dark place.
◆ Do not rub the paper with hard objects.
◆ Do not leave the paper near organic solvents.
◆ Do not allow plastic film, erasers, or adhesive tape to touch the paper for long
periods.
