When Operating The Printer; When Handling Paper - Epson LX-300+II Reference Manual

When operating the printer

❏ Adjust only those controls that are covered in the user
documentation. Improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage requiring extensive repair by a qualified
technician.
❏ Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds
before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage it.
❏ Do not turn off the printer while it is printing the self test.
Always press the Pause button to stop printing and then
turn off the printer.
❏ Do not reconnect the power cord to an electrical outlet that
has the wrong voltage for your printer.
❏ Never replace the print head yourself; you may damage the
printer. Also, other parts of the printer must be checked
when the print head is replaced.
❏ You may need to move the print head by hand to replace the
ribbon cartridge. If you have just used the printer, the print
head may be hot; let it cool before touching it.

When handling paper

❏ Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity,
use them only under these normal operating conditions:
Temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C)
Humidity: 30 to 60% RH
❏ Do not leave labels in the printer between jobs; they may
curl around the platen and jam when you resume printing.
❏ Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
