1.1. Safeguards
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Environment
CAUTION
• Avoid placing the printer on or in locations which
are unstable or not level. Such locations may
cause the printer to fall down or fall over. This type
of situation presents a danger of personal injury
or damage to the printer. ....................................
• Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If
dust or dirt becomes attached to the power plug,
clean the plug to avoid the danger of the fire or
electrical shock. .................................................
• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other
heat sources, or locations near flammable items,
to avoid the danger of fire...................................
• To keep the printer cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as
shown below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the
left, right and rear cover, to allow air to be properly
ventilated out of the printer.................................
30 cm (12 inches)
60 cm (24 inches)
[20 cm (8 inches) when the face-up out-
put tray* is not installed.]
* Optional with the DP-1400
Other precautions
• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the printer. Install in an air-
conditioned room (recommended room temperature:
around 20°C, humidity: around 65%RH) and avoid the
following locations when selecting a site for the printer.
• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to
direct sunlight.
• Avoid locations with vibrations.
• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
• Ammonia or other harmful fumes. (If you are planning
to fumigate the room, or make liberal use of insecti-
cide, remove the printer first.)
• Low air pressure, e.g., located more than 2000 maters
(6500 feet) above sea level.
1-2
30 cm (12 inches)
40 cm (16
inches)
25 cm (10 inches)
• The printer will work best if it is installed in a locaion that is:
• Near the computer
If the parallel interface is used to connect the printer to
the computer, the connecting cable should be shielded
type and not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
• Level and well supported
Place the printer on a steady table or desk. Do not
place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The printer may fall, causing injury, or serious damage
to the printer.
Power supply/Grounding the priner
WARNING
• DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other
than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in
the same outlet. These types of situations
present a danger of fire or electrical shock.........
• Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If
metallic objects come in contact with the prongs
on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Always connect the printer to an outlet with a
ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an
earth connection is not possible, contact your
service representative. ......................................
Other precautions
• Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to
the printer.
• Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used
for the printer alone.
• Only use this printer under the voltage listed on the serial
No. label attached to the rear panel of the printer.
• The outlet should be earthed, or an adapter should be
used.
• If an extension cord is used, the total length of the power
cord plus extension should be 5 meters (17 feet) or less.
Handling of plastic bags
WARNING
• Keep the plastic bags that are used with the printer away
from children. The plastic may cling to their nose and
mouth causing suffocation.
