Safety Precautions
On Installation (cont'd)
• Do not leave containers of liquid or chemicals
around the printer. If any liquid is spilled onto the
printer, immediately turn off the power, pull out the
power cable from the AC outlet, and contact a
sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this case,
continued use of the printer may cause fires or
electric shocks.
• Do not insert or drop anything metallic or flamma-
ble into the openings of the printer (the cable out-
let). Otherwise, immediately turn off the power,
disconnect the power cable from the power outlet,
and contact a sales outlet, dealer, or service cen-
ter. In this case, continued use of the printer may
cause fires or electric shocks.
On General Handling
• The optional head cleaning liquid is flammable.
Never heat it or throw it into a fire. Keep it out of
children's reach to avoid accidental consumption.
Should this occur, consult a doctor immediately.
• When opening or closing the cover, beware of get-
ting your fingers caught. Also, hold the opening/
closing cover well so that it will not slip and fall on
your hand.
• After printing, the print head remains hot. When
replacing paper or cleaning the printer immedi-
ately after printing, be careful not to burn yourself.
• Touching even the edge of the printer head may
cause injuries. When replacing paper or cleaning
the printer, be careful not to hurt yourself.
• If the printer will not be used for extended periods
of time, disconnect the power cable for safety.
• When releasing and locking down the printer head,
be careful not to catch any other foreign matter in
it except loaded media.

• When moving the printer, be sure to pull out the
power cable from the AC outlet, and check that
any other external interface cables have been dis-
connected. Otherwise, the connected cables may
be damaged, or may cause trips and falls, in addi-
tion to or a fire or electric shocks.
• This printer has a built-in optical sensor. Expose to
strong lighting will make the sensor less respon-
sive and may cause the label to be sensed incor-
rectly. Close the cover when printing.
• Do not disassemble or perform modifications to
the printer, as this renders the product unsafe. For
maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs, consult
a sales outlet, dealer, or service center for help,
instead of attempting to perform this yourself.
Renewable annual service contracts are available.
• When maintaining or cleaning the printer, always
disconnect the power cable for safety.
• Do not insert your hand or other objects into the
cutter when the option cutter is installed.
• When loading roll media, be careful not to catch
your fingers between the media and the feeder.
