Rev. A
When transporting the printer, insert the protective material in the slip paper path and pack
the printer in a specially provided package so that the printer does not come into contact
with other products. Also, be careful not to drop it or apply any kind of external stress.
Protective
Figure 3-1. Inserting the Protective Material
Avoid storing the printer in an area that is dusty, humid, or subject to excessively low
temperatures. Also avoid areas which are exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
For long-term storage, put the printer in a polyethylene bag with anti-rust paper (VCI
paper), and keep it in a dry place.
Always install a ribbon cassette and load paper before printing. If paper runs out, be sure to
load new paper before resuming printing.
If printing is executed when there is no paper or no ribbon cassette in the printer, the print
quality may deteriorate (the printing color may become uneven or some dots may not be
printed) because of damage to the surface of the platen, printing wires, or ribbon.
Do not touch the print head unit after printing. It becomes very hot during printing.
There is a set screw for the frame ground (FG.) Use it for grounding the printer.
Be careful when wiring and connecting the interface, power, and drawer kick-out cables to
avoid subjecting the connectors to excessive pressure.
