7.1 Connecting the Printer
Because electric shock and instrument damage hazards are present, always follow
the steps below when connecting the printer.
• Always turn off the instrument and the printer before connecting.
• A serious hazard can occur if a wire becomes dislocated and contacts another con-
ductor during operation. Make certain connections are secure.
• As much as possible, avoid printing in hot and humid environments. Otherwise, printer life
may be severely shortened.
• Use only compatible recording paper in the printer. Using non-specified paper may not only
result in faulty printing, but printing may become impossible.
• If the recording paper is skewed on the roller, paper jams may result.
