Notes for safe operation | (continued) |
Ground the machine with the attached electric cord when connecting it to the utility outlet.
•Using a cord other than the one supplied for grounding may cause an electric shock when the machine fails.
Do not put your head or yourself into the packaging bag.
•Do not play with the packaging bag. You may suffocate yourself.
•Give close attention to small children who may want to play with the packaging bag.
Do not use the machine while it has a fault.
•Do not use the machine while it has a fault, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
•Immediately turn off the power, pull out the power plug, and
ask your dealer to repair. Do not try to repair it by yourself. It is dangerous.
CAUTION
Pull out the power plug before cleaning the machine.
• This is for preventing electric shocks.
Pull out the power plug when you won’t use the machine for a prolonged period of time to assure safety.
•Remove the power plug from the outlet for safety when you won’t use the machine for a long time.
Do not move the machine with the power cable and other electric cables connected.
•The cables may be damaged while being moved, which may cause a fire or electric shock.
•You may stumble over the cable and get injured.
Do not put the machine at a place where it becomes excessively hot.
•The surface and internal components may deteriorate. Also there is a danger of a fire. Special care should be taken for exposure to direct sunlight or a heater adjacent to the machine.
Hold the body of the power plug when pulling it out.
•Do not pull out the plug by holding the cable. The cable may be broken or damaged which may in turn cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand
• You may get an electric shock.
Do not move the machine with objects placed on it.
• They may fall on you and hurt you.
Do not put heavy objects on the machine.
• They may fall on you and hurt you.
Do not block the vents.
•Heat generated inside the machine cannot escape, which may cause a fire.
Be sure to work with two persons when you unpack, move or lift the machine.
•If you work alone, you may be injured by the fallen machine or hurt your back by lifting a heavy machine by yourself.
Inspection
•Ask you dealer or a qualified person to inspect the machine, typically once every two to three years. Operating the machine with dusts piling on the components for a prolonged period of time may cause a fire or a malfunction of the machine. It will be particularly effective to inspect the machine before wet rainy season. Consult your dealer on
the costs of inspection.
Do not lay the power cable near the heating equipment.
•The covering of the cable will melt due to heat from such equipment, which may cause a fire or electric shock.
The heat rollers and adjacent areas become hot during operation.
•Be careful not to touch the heat rollers and adjacent areas when replacing the ink ribbon or retransfer film, or remove jammed cards.
•Wait until the heat rollers get cooled down to prevent burns.
Be careful of jamming your hand or fingers in the card tray, card bracket on the hopper, or printer door.
•Replace the ink ribbon or retransfer film, or remove jammed cards with care not to jam your hand or fingers in the mechanism, which may cause an injury.
Do not use a power cable other than the specified cable for connection.
•If you use an unspecified power cable for connection or extension, heat may accumulate in the cable, causing a fire.
Do not put the machine at a place where it will be wet with steam (e.g., from a humidifier), or at a excessively humid or dusty place.
•The oil, water and dusts act as conductors, which may cause a fire or electric shock.
