Chapter 2 Safety Precautions
Opening/closing the top cover
When opening/closing the top cover, be careful not to catch your fingers between the cover and chassis.
Printhead
The printhead remains at a high temperature immediately after printing. Therefore, be careful to avoid contact with the printhead when replacing the ribbon or media or cleaning the printer immediately after printing. Failure to observe this precaution may result in burning.
The edge of the printhead can injure your bare hands and the printhead itself can give you an electrical shock. To replace the printhead, contact our service personnel. Never try replacement by yourself.
Loading the media and ribbon
When loading the media and ribbon, be careful not to catch your fingers in the mechanism.
No use for long periods
When the printer is not used for long periods, the plug of the power cord should be removed from the outlet to ensure safety.
Printer care and cleaning
Whilst performing maintenance and cleaning, the plug of the power cord should be removed from the outlet to ensure safety.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, etc. to wipe the dirt off the printer. Failure to do so may cause discoloration or deformation. If the dirt is too large, soak a cloth in a thin neutral detergent and squeeze out and wipe with it, and finally wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
