Installation Precautions
When installing the unit, firmly secure four mounting parts at the bottom of the paper roll
supply module to the system side with screws.
Make sure to ground the unit by using the hole for a ground wire on the side of the frame.
(See Figure 3-1 for the position.)
Note:
If the system side where the unit is installed is not flat, that could cause deformation of parts and
malfunction. (It is recommended the difference in level is 0.3 mm {0.012"} or less.)
Handling Precautions
Paper roll supply module
Do not apply excessive pressure to the paper roll supply module when opening or closing
it; otherwise, the unit may not open and close properly because of deformation of parts.
Do not touch the light emission or receiving surfaces of the paper NE detector; otherwise
you may cause damage from dirt or static electricity.
Printer module
CAUTION:
Since the thermal head area and the motor surface can be hot during and right after
printing, never touch them with your bare hands; allow about 15 minutes for them to
cool.
Since the EU-T432 contains permanent magnets (in the motor) as well as electromagnets,
they should not be used in an environment with excessive dirt, dust, or metallic dust.
Never print without paper installed or with the head away from the platen, because the life
of the thermal head may be shortened.
Never pull out the paper (forward or backward) with the head down (against the platen).
Do not turn off the power during operations, especially during a cutting operation;
otherwise the cutter blade could be exposed, leaving the platen unit difficult to open.
Since the head heating elements and the driver IC are very delicate, avoid touching them
with any metal objects such as tweezers or screwdrivers.
Open the platen unit only when required.
Never touch the surface of the head heating elements or the driver IC because dirt may stick
to them, affecting the head heating elements or causing damage from static electricity.
Before handling the thermal head, use proper body grounding procedures to avoid
damage from static electricity.
