SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following information carefully before installing and using the printer
THE CAUTION SYMBOL 
Whenever the triangular Caution logo appears in this manual, pay special attention to the warning(s) cited below it. Failure to abide by the warnings may result in injury or damage to property.
PRINTER PLACEMENT TIPS
•Place the printer on a solid, stable, horizontal sur- face that is not subject to strong vibrations from adja- cent mechanical devices.
•Avoid shaky or slanting tables, or platforms that are liable to collapse under a heavy weight. If the printer is dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power, pull out the power plug and contact a service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause a fire or electric shocks.
•Avoid installing the printer in direct sunlight, or in dusty, very hot or slippery areas. Also avoid place- ment in damp, unventilated or humid areas. If con- densation forms, immediately turn off the power, and do not use the printer until the condensation disap- pears. Otherwise the moisture may cause electric shocks.
•Avoid placing the printer near large
•Do not leave containers of water or chemicals around the printer. If any liquid is spilled onto the printer, immediately turn off the power, pull out the power cable from the AC outlet, and contact a sales outlet, dealer, or service center. In this case, continued use of the printer may cause fires or electric shocks.
•Do not move the printer with any paper loaded. The stack of paper may fall off, causing trips and accidents.
•When laying the printer down, be careful not to catch your foot or fingers under it.
•When moving the printer, be sure to pull out the power cable from the AC outlet, and check that any other external interface cables have been disconnected. Otherwise, the connected cables may be damaged, or may cause trips and falls, in addition to or a fire or electric shocks.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
•When using head cleaning liquid, note that it is flam- mable. Never heat it or throw it into a fire. Keep it out of children’s reach to avoid accidental consumption. Should this occur, consult a doctor immediately.
•When opening/closing the cover, beware of getting your fingers caught. Also, hold the opening/closing cover well so that it will not slip and fall onto the hand.
•After printing, the print head remains hot. When replacing paper or cleaning the printer immediately after printing, be careful not to burn yourself.
•Touching even the edge of the printer head may cause injuries. When replacing paper or cleaning the printer, be careful not to hurt yourself.
•If the printer will not be used for extended periods of time, disconnect the power cable for safety.
•When releasing and locking down the printer head, be careful not to catch any other foreign matter in it except label paper.
•Do not disassemble or perform modifications to the printer, as this renders the product unsafe. For maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs, consult a sales outlet, dealer, or service center for help, instead of attempting to perform this yourself. Renewable annual service contracts are available.
•When maintaining or cleaning the printer, always disconnect the power cable for safety.
•Do not insert your hand or other objects into the cutter.
•When loading roll paper, be careful not to catch your fingers between the paper and the feeder.
•Be careful not to hurt yourself when detaching the back cover of the fanfold through the hole and attaching it.
•The simplified cutter (if applicable to the printer) is structured as a blade. Be careful to avoid injury when operating the printer.
