WARNING
1) Do not touch the cutter blade.
• There is a cutter inside the paper outlet slot. Not only should you not put your
hand in the paper outlet slot while printing is in progress, never put your hand
into the outlet even when printing is not in progress.
• The printer cover can be opened when replacing the paper. However, since the
cutter blade is on the inside of the printer cover, be careful not to place your face
or hands too close to the cutter blade.
2) During and immediately after printing, the area around the thermal head is very
hot. Do not touch it, as you could be burned.
CAUTION
1) Do not operate the cover open lever while pressing on the printer cover with your
hand.
2) Do not push the cover open lever and open the printer cover when printing is in
progress or when the auto cutter is operating.
3) Do not push out paper while the printer cover is closed.
4) The heating element and the driver IC of the thermal head are easily damaged. Do
not touch them with metal objects, sandpaper, etc.
5) Printing quality may suffer if the thermal head heating element becomes soiled by
being touched with your hands. Do not touch the thermal head heating element.
6) There is a risk of damage to the driver IC of the thermal head from static electricity.
Never directly touch the IC.
7) The printing quality and working life of the thermal head cannot be guaranteed if
any paper other than that recommended is used. In particular, paper containing
[Na+, K+, C1-] may drastically reduce the working life of the thermal head. Please
exercise caution.
8) Do not operate the printer if there is moisture on the front surface of the head from
condensation, etc.
