Proper Usage and Handling
•
Leave
about
15
cm
(6
in.)
of clearance
at
the front
and
back
of the devices
and
10
em
(4
in.)
of clearance
on
both sides.
Be sure to leave clearance around the paper-handling slot (at the rear) so that paper has
sufficient room to jut out from the slot during printing.
•
Do
not
use
near
strong
magnets
or
near
devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields.
Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong
magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion
in
printed images.
• Attach the included dust cover to the
rear
of the printer.
If dirt
or
foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.
• Unplug the
power
cord
from the outlet. If using
the
battery
pack,
remove
it.
But please note that you should plug in and run the printer at least once every six months
to ensure that it remains functional.
•
When
the printer is not
in
use,
please
remove
the ink
and
paper
cassettes from
the
printer
and
store
them.
Close the paper cassette's top cover and store the paper cassette. Remove unused paper
from the paper cassette, return it to the bag and then into its original package. Store the
package horizontally.
•
Before
transporting the printer,
remove
the
paper
and
ink cassettes, close the
paper
cassette cover
and
the ink cassette
cover,
and
attach the dust cover to the
rear
of
the
printer.
If dirt
or
foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.
•
Pack
the printer into
an
appropriate
case
for transport.
If a case is not available, wrap it with cloth or other protective material to protect against
scratches.
•
You
can
avoid
condensation
by
placing the devices (printer, ink cassette,
paper
cassette,
paper)
in
an
airtight,
resealable
plastic
bag
and
letting
them
adjust to
temperature
changes
slowly before removing
them
from the
bag.
Moving the devices rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation
(water droplets) to form on their external and internal surfaces.
