CAUTION
We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan
P
to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power
outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access.
If the voltage shown on the label on the of your printer does not match the voltage for your
P
area, contact your dealer immediately.
Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the
P
computer is turned off before making connections.
Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector.
P
Failure to observe this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive connector if there is
a chance it may carry peripheral voltage.
Do not operate the open lever while pressing on the rear cover with your hand.
P
Do not pull the open lever and open the rear cover when printing is in progress or when
P
the auto cutter is operating.
Do not pull out paper while the rear cover is closed.
P
If liquids, foreign objects (coins and paper clips), and so on enter the printer, turn off the
P
printer, unplug it from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for advice.
Continued use could cause a short circuit, which may result in fire or electric shock.
The heating element and the driver IC of the thermal head are easily damaged. Do not touch
P
them with metal objects, sandpaper, etc.
Printing quality may suffer if the thermal head heating element becomes soiled by being
P
touched with your hands. Do not touch the thermal head heating element.
There is a risk of damage to the driver IC of the thermal head from static electricity. Never
P
directly touch the IC.
The printing quality and working life of the thermal head cannot be guaranteed if any ther-
P
mal paper other than that recommended is used. In particular, thermal paper containing
[Na , K , C1

caution.
The use of paper with a maximum ion density of Na
ppm is recommended.
Do not operate the printer if there is moisture on the front surface of the head from conden-
P
sation, etc.
Notes on Using the Auto Cutter
To print after a cut, feed 1 mm (8-dot line) or more of paper.
P
If the cutter is not in its home position after an error, first eliminate the cause of the error;
P
then, turn the power back ON.
A margin of 5 mm or more is recommended from the end of the printed area to the cutting
P
position.
Do not attempt to remove the paper during a cut, as this can cause a paper jam.
