Safety
2.2 Operating Tips
Your new SATO Printer is the latest in printing technology and must be cared for as any other electronic product. It is a very durable and dependable piece of equipment, but we suggest you follow a few common rules when installing or using your printer.
∀Do not operate in unstable locations such as an unsteady, slanted or extreme vibrating table. It may cause the equipment to shift from its desired location.
∀Do not operate or store the printer in applications where high humidity with extreme condensation are prevalent. Be sure to follow the printer’s environment operation requirements as defined in the later in this Quick Guide. Failure to follow these operating instructions may damage your printer and void your warranty.
∀When moving the printer from a location, be sure to avoid potential shock or damage to your printer and its cabling by first powering off the printer, then unplug the printer from its power receptacle and disconnect the communication cable (if non- wireless).
∀Do not insert or drop anything metallic or flammable into the openings of the printer, i.e.; cable outlet, vents or mounting hole of the memory cartridge.
∀In the event that a foreign object should accidentally fall inside the printer, immediately turn off the power, unplug the printer from the power receptacle and contact your SATO dealer or service center before continuing to use your printer. Using your printer under such conditions may cause fire or electrical shock.
∀Do not move or ship the printer with the media loaded inside. This will avoid damaging the components of your printer.
∀The printer is heavy. If possible, seek assistance when attempting to move the printer from one location to another.
∀We highly recommend allocating the printer to its own dedicated power outlet and source line. This avoids having the printer consuming power from the same source as another electric appliance which may consume power at various levels and creating a fluctuating power suppy. Power surges may negatively impact your printer’s performance and longevity.
∀Avoid operating in direct sunlight as this product contains optical sensors. Prolonged direct sunlight may damage these sensors and cause erroneous operation. Ensure the printer cover is closed when operating.
