The power switch is installed on the secondary side of the
power circuit, so power is always supplied to the power supply
circuit even when the switch is OFF unless the two power cords
are unplugged from the wall power outlets. Unless otherwise
stated (for printing or operation checks), be sure to unplug the
two power cords from the wall outlets before disassembling or
assembling the printer to prevent electric shock and damage to
the circuit.
A lithium battery is mounted on the Main Board (control
circuit) for memory backup. Be sure to observe the following
precautions when handling the lithium battery.
• Be careful not to short the electrode of the battery.
• When replacing the battery, make sure to insert it in correct
orientation.
• Never heat the battery or plunge it into the flames.
• Do not put the Main Board directly on conductive materials.
Be extremely careful not to get the ink into your eye or let it
come into contact with your skin. If it happens, wash out your
eye or skin with water immediately.
If
any abnormality is
found, contact a physician.
