Printer Setup; Precautions - Toshiba BV420D-GL02-QM-S Owner's Manual

5. Printer Setup

This chapter explains the procedures necessary to set up the printer prior to its operation.
Avoid using the printer in the locations where it is subjected to intense light (e.g.: direct sunlight or desk light).
Such light may affect the sensors of the printer, causing malfunctions.
 Precautions
To insure the best operating environment, as well as to assure the safety of the operator and the printer, be sure to
observe the following precautions.
 Operate the printer on a stable and level surface in a location free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust,
vibration and direct sunlight.
 Keep the work environment static free. Static discharges can cause damage to delicate internal components.
 Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean AC power source and that no other high voltage devices that may
cause line noise interference are connected to the same power source.
 Ensure that the printer is connected only to an AC power source that has a proper ground (earth) connection.
 Do not operate the printer with the cover open. Be careful not to allow your fingers or any articles of clothing to get
caught in any of the moving parts of the printer.
 Before working on the inside of the printer or cleaning it, be sure to turn off the power of the printer and remove the
AC adapter from it.
 For best results and a longer printer life, use only Toshiba Tec Corporation recommended media. (Refer to the
Supply Manual.)
 Store the media in accordance with "How to store and handle the media" in this manual.
 This printer mechanism contains high voltage components. Therefore, you should never remove any of the covers
of the printer as you may get an electric shock.
Additionally, the printer contains many delicate components. They may be damaged if accessed by unauthorized
personnel.
 Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth slightly damped with a mild detergent
solution.
 The print head and its peripherals will become very hot during printing. You may get burnt if you touch it in such a
condition. Therefore, wait until the printer has cooled down sufficiently before cleaning.
Use only the Toshiba Tec Corporation recommended print head cleaner to clean the print head.
 Do not turn off the printer or remove the power plug while printing or while any lamp is blinking.
 The printer shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be set so that the power plug can be removed from
the socket outlet easily.
 The power plug should be removed from the socket outlet once a year at least and cleaned around the prongs.
Accumulating dust and dirt could cause a fire due to the heat released by electrical leakage.
 When the printer will not be used for a long time, pull the lock release lever toward you to unlock the top cover so
that no pressure is applied to the label.
