PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING
Do not handle the printer in the following manners, because problems may result.
• Do not use any other power source besides the accessory AC adapter. Also, do
not use the AC adapter for other purposes.
• Do not print without paper.
• Do not drop or put any foreign object, such as a clip, pin, or the like, inside the
printer.
• Do not spill any liquid or spray any chemical-containing liquid over the printer.
• Never use a pointed object, such as a pen, to operate the operation panel.
• Do not use Scotch tape to fasten paper together for continuous use. It could
damage the printing head.
• Never pull the set paper forcibly. When opening/closing the printer cover, take
care that the paper will not be caught. It could cause the paper to jam.
• Be sure to use the specified paper. Use of paper other than the recommended
type may damage the printing head or lower the printing quality.
To Prevent Injury and Spreading of Damage

They may be very hot and can burn your hand/finger.

metal.
• Should any error occur while operating the printer, stop it immediately and
disconnect the power plug from the plug socket.
• Only a qualified serviceman is allowed to disassemble or repair the printer.
• Should a problem occur, leave solving it to our serviceman. Do not disassemble
the printer on your own.
• When opening/closing the printer cover, and so on, be careful not to catch your
hand or finger on the printer.
• Each time you finish using, turn off the power switch and unplug the power plug
from the wall outlet.
