Operating Tips - SATO SX4M Quick Start Manual

2.2 Operating Tips

Your new SX4M / SX5M /TXPSX4 / TXPSX5 Thermal Printer is a very durable and de-
pendable piece of equipment, but we suggest you follow a few guidelines when installing
or using your printer.
•
Do not operate in unstable locations such as an unsteady, slanted or ex-
treme vibrating table. It may cause the equipment to shift from its desired
location.
•
Do not operate or store the printer in applications where high humidity with
extreme condensation are prevalent. Be sure to follow the printer's envi-
ronment operation requirements as defined in the later in this Quick Start
Guide. Failure to follow these operating instructions may damage your
printer and void your warranty.
•
When moving the printer from a location, be sure to avoid potential shock
or damage to your printer and its cabling by first powering off the printer,
then unplug the printer from its power receptacle and disconnect the com-
munication cable (if non-wireless).
•
Do not insert or drop anything metallic or flammable into the openings of
the printer, i.e.; cable outlet and vents.
•
In the event that a foreign object should accidentally fall inside the printer,
immediately turn off the power, unplug the printer from the power recepta-
cle and contact your SATO dealer or service center before continuing to
use your printer. Using your printer under such conditions may cause fire
or electrical shock.
•
Do not move or ship the printer with the media loaded inside. This will
avoid damaging the components of your printer.
•
The printer is heavy. If possible, seek assistance when attempting to
move the printer from one location to another.
•
We highly recommend allocating the printer to its own dedicated power
outlet and source line. This avoids having the printer consuming power
from the same source as another electric appliance which may consume
power at various levels and creating a fluctuating power supply. Power
surges may negatively impact your printer's performance and longevity.
•
Avoid operating in direct sunlight as this product contains optical sensors.
Prolonged direct sunlight may damage these sensors and cause errone-
ous operation. Ensure the printer cover is closed when operating.
