General Cautions and Warnings

This page describes general safety and maintenance warnings and cautions for the printer and are referenced throughout the manual.

Warning - Shock Hazard

The printer should never be operated in a location where it can get wet. Personal injury could result.

Warning - Static Discharge

The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the print head or electronic components used in this device. DO NOT TOUCH the print head or the electronic components under the print head assembly.

Caution - Printer Setup & Handling

1)When installing or modifying the printer setup or configuration, ALWAYS TURN POWER OFF Before:

A)Connecting any cables.

B)Performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.

C)Moving the printer.

Media Warning

Always use high quality approved labels and tags. If adhesive backed labels are used that DO NOT lay flat on the backing liner, the exposed edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer, causing the label to peel off from the liner and jam the printer.

Media Reload Hint

If you should run out of labels while printing, DO NOT turn the power switch OFF (0) while reloading or data loss may occur. The printer will automatically resume printing when a new label or ribbon roll is loaded.

Print Quality Tip

Print density (darkness) is affected by the heat energy (density setting) applied and by the print speed. Changing both Print Speed and Density may be required to achieve the desired results.
