PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

•Do not use or store the equipment in a place exposed to fire, moisture, or direct sunlight, or in a place near a heater or a thermal device where the prescribed operating temperature and humidity are not met, or in a place exposed to much oil, iron powder, or dust. The equipment may become out of order, emit smoke, or catch fire.

•Do not install the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions are expected, or in a place where salt or gases are contained in the air. There is a danger of fire or electric shock.

•Firmly secure the equipment onto a flat and stable mounting panel free from vibrations and angled at 0° to 90° in a well-ventilated place.

•Do not install or use the equipment in a place where its operation could be hindered.

•Do not place anything on the equipment, as it can lead to problems.

•Use accessory fittings and screws to secure the equipment. Tighten the screws firmly and properly. Excessive tightening can result in problems or damage.

•Do not use the equipment near a radio or TV receiver. Do not share the power from a plug socket a radio or TV receiver is connected to. It may cause a reception problem.

•Use only power of the specified voltage and current capacity. Be careful not to mistake polarity. The equipment may become out of order, emit smoke, or catch fire.

•Confirm that a plug socket used for connection has sufficient capacity.

•Avoid composite wiring with a power cable or excessively extended wiring. Excessive electric current may cause heat generation/ignition of the supply line or shut off the power. Do not step on a cable or use the equipment with excessive force (tension, load) applied to it.

•Never connect a grounding cable to a gas pipe. There is a danger of explosion. When connecting or disconnecting the grounding cable, be sure to disconnect the power plug from the plug socket.

•When disconnecting/reconnecting the cables, be sure to turn off the power, including the mating side.

•Connect a connector cable securely. If a reverse-polarity connection is made, internal elements may be broken or a mating device may be adversely affected.

•Avoid routing a signal line too long or connecting to any noisy device, to protect against such effects as data deformation due to noise.

•Use the equipment in an environment where there is a plug socket near the main body and you can easily disconnect the power plug from it, to shut off the power.

•Keep the equipment in the printing-head-up state when transporting the equipment or when it will not be used for a long time.

•When transporting the equipment, remove the rolled paper from it.
