General Safety Instruction
Before installing and using the printer, please read the following items carefully:
1 Safety Instructions
Caution: Do not touch the cutter of the printer.
Heating: The print head is at a high temperature during printing or just after
operation. Do not touch it and its peripherals for reasons of safety.
Warning: The print head is an ESD-sensitive device. To avoid damage, do not
touch either its printing parts or connecting parts.
2 Caution
1) Install the printer on a flat and stable surface.
2) Reserve adequate space around the printer so that convenient operation and
maintenance can be performed.
3) Keep the printer away from water source, direct sunlight, strong light and heat.
4) Do not use or store the printer in a place exposed to heat or fire, moisture or other
pollution.
5) Do not place the printer in a place exposed to vibration or impact.
6) No dew condensation is allowed to the printer. In case of such condensation, do not turn
on the power until it has completely gone away.
7) Connect the power cord to an appropriate grounding outlet. Avoid sharing a single
electrical outlet with large power motors and other devices that may cause the
fluctuation in voltage.
8) Disconnect the power cord if the printer is idle for a long time.
9) Do not spill water or other electric substances (like metal) on the printer. If this happens,
turn off the power immediately.
10) Do not allow the printer to start printing when there is no recording paper installed,
otherwise the print head and platen roller will be damaged.
11) To ensure quality print and normal lifetime, use recommended or good quality paper.
12) Shut down the printer when connecting or disconnecting interface connectors to avoid
damage to the control board.
13) Set the print darkness to a lower grade as long as the print quality is acceptable. This
will help to keep the Printhead durable.
14) The printer should only be disassembled or repaired by a technician, who is certified by
SNBC.
15) Keep this manual safe and at hand for reference purpose.
