Operating Precautions

Observe the following precautions to ensure that the printer provides you with
the years of trouble-free operation for which it is designed.
• Avoid use in areas subjected to direct sunlight, high humidity, and temperature
extremes. Operating Temperature Range: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)
• Battery capacity becomes lower at temperatures of 10°C (50°F) and colder.
This can cause the "LOW BATTERY!" message to appear sooner than
normal. If this happens, move the printer to a location that is within the
operating temperature range (10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)).
• Never allow paper clips, pins, or other similar objects to get inside the printer
mechanism.
• Never pull on the tape with excessive force or try to push it into the cassette.
• Place the printer on a level surface when printing. A tilted surface can make
normal printing impossible.
• Unclear printing can indicate a dirty print head. If printing becomes unclear,
use the procedures on page 49 to clean the print head and rubber roller.
• Using the printer in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or any other
source of bright light can cause malfunction of its optical sensor, and display
of an error message. Use the printer in an area that is not exposed to bright
light.
