    RT638 3.9 Matters needing attention 3.9.1 The TPH and photoelectric sensors on the printer mechanism are electrostatic sensitive components.When using the printer mechanism, please take protective measures (for example, wearing an electrostatic ring, ensuring appropriate humidity in the workshop, etc.) to prevent static damage of the internal components and parts of the printer mechanism.
  • Page 13 RT638 C: In the environment with water condensation due to humidity, please do not switch on the power. If the power is on, please cut off the power immediately. At the same time,allow the thermal head to dry before use. The use of the printer mechanism is related to the environment (low temperature or high humidity).
