Precautions for Installation and Handling
Select a Safe Location
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment.
Refer to the following instructions for installation and handling of the FX3-LX printer.
• Place the printer on a surface that is flat and level.
If the surface is not flat and level, this may cause bad print quality. This may also cause a
malfunction and decrease the life span of the printer.
• Do not place the printer on a location that produces vibration.
Giving serious vibration or shock to the printer may cause a malfunction and shorten the life span
of the printer.
• Keep the printer out of high temperature and humidity.
Avoid locations subject to extreme or fast changes in temperature or humidity.
• Do not place the printer in a location subject to water or oil.
Although this printer is IPX2 (splash proof II type) certified, it is not completely waterproofed so
water or oil entering inside the printer may cause a fire, electric shock, malfunction, or damage.
• Avoid dust.
Dust build up may result in bad print quality.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
The printer has a built-in optical sensor. Exposure to direct sunlight will make the sensor less
responsive and may cause the media to be detected incorrectly. Close the top cover when
printing.
• Do not place near cranes or press machines.
Do not supply power from an AC outlet near electrical equipment with high power consumption.
Doing so could cause malfunctions or damage due to electrical noise or voltage reduction.
Machines that use large amounts of electricity, such as cranes and press machines, could cause
electrical noise or voltage reduction. Do not place the printer near these machines as it could
cause the printer to malfunction or become damaged.
• Do not install the printer in a location that blocks the sides.
When installing the printer, keep space of 15 cm (5.91”) or more between the sides of the printer
and the wall. Failure to do so could damage or shorten the printer’s life due to heat.
• Do not place the printer sideways or upside down.
Due to the installation of the power unit, battery pack, etc., placing the printer sideways or upside
down while the media is loaded may cause the media to come off the media roll holder and
cause a paper jam. Also, the media may become torn or scratched, or it may affect the print
quality.
• Do not use in hazardous locations.
Do not use in a potentially explosive environment or atmosphere. Doing so could cause a fire or
explosion.
