Roll Paper; Printing; Power Source; Recommended Batteries - Minolta CR-400 Instruction Manual

<Roll Paper>
• This roll paper is special paper (thermal paper) which displays color as the result of a heat-induced
chemical reaction.
• Do not store in hot and/or humid places.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or other outside light for long periods of time.
• Using roll paper which has become discolored because of the way it was stored will result in print-
ing which is difficult to read. Use new roll paper whenever possible.
• Printed data may become difficult to read because of the way the paper has been stored. We recom-
mend you copy any data for long-term storage.
<Printing>
• Since the printer uses a thermal mechanism, the ambient temperature may affect the speed and/or
consistency of print.
<Power Source>
• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF when the CR-400/410 is not in use.
• Always use the AC adapter (AC-A17) supplied as a standard accessory and connect it to an AC
outlet of the rated voltage and frequency.
• Use an AC power source which is within 10% of the rated voltage and frequency.
<Recommended Batteries>
• A low ambient temperature will cause a drop in battery performance, with similar results for perfor-
mance in terms of number of measurements and printing speed and consistency. We therefore rec-
ommend you use lithium or nickel metal-hydride batteries which can withstand changes in tem-
perature.
<Backup Batteries>
• Measurement data and settings are stored in memory which is backed up by the internal backup
batteries. The backup batteries are charged during operation of the instrument, and can retain the
contents of memory for 10 months if they have been fully charged. At time of purchase, the batter-
ies may have already been partially discharged, so turn the power on to charge them. The batteries
can be fully charged about 20 hours.
• Do not replace the internal backup batteries (type: ML2020 3V) yourself. Contact the nearest Minolta-
authorized service facility to replace the backup batteries.
• We recommend that you backup all important data and store it separately.
