Precautions

Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
"Specifications" on page 62.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
unit with a damaged power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,
disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord
itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of electric
shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit,
or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the
cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the
unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric
shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the
cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult
your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep
the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To
subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed
package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so
prevents condensation from forming when the printing
pack is removed from its package.
Installation
• Install the unit on a level surface. Do not install the unit
on a slant or on its side. Doing so could damage the unit.
• Do not jar or drop the unit.

Precautions
• Do not install the unit in any location that is subject to:
– instability
– excessive dust
– extremely high or low temperatures
– vibration
– high humidity
– direct sunlight
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the unit. Doing so
could result in damage.
On transporting the printer
Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories,
ribbon cartridge and paper roll attached. Doing so may
cause a malfunction. It is recommended that you store the
ribbon cartridge and paper roll in the package they came in
after you remove them.
On condensation
• If the printer is subjected to wide and sudden changes in
temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room
to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater
that tends to produce quantities of moisture,
condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases
the printer will probably not work properly, and may
even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If it is likely
that condensation has formed, set the printer to standby
mode with the on/standby button, or turn it off with the
POWER switch, then leave the printer standing for about
one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on the
ribbon cartridge or paper inside. This will cause the
printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is used
in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.
