To insure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the operator and the equipment, please observe the following precautions.

∙Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibration or direct sunlight.

∙Keep your work environment static free. Static discharge can cause damage to delicate internal components.

∙Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC Power and that no other high voltage devices that may cause line noise interference are connected to the same mains.

∙Assure that the printer is connected to the AC mains with a three- prong power cable that has the proper ground (earth) connection.

∙Do not operate the printer with the cover open. Be careful not to allow fingers or articles of clothing to get caught into any of the moving parts of the printer especially the optional cutter mechanism.

∙Make sure to turn off the printer power and to remove the power cord from the printer whenever working on the inside of the printer such as changing the ribbon or loading the media, or when cleaning the printer.

∙For best results, and longer printer life, use only TOSHIBA TEC recommended media and ribbons.

∙Store the media and ribbons in accordance with their specifications.

∙This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore you should never remove any of the covers of the machine as you may receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer contains many delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by unauthorised personnel.

∙Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.

∙Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as it may become very hot while printing. Wait until it has had time to cool before cleaning. Use only the TOSHIBA TEC recommended print head cleaner to clean the print head.

∙Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the printer is printing or while the ON LINE lamp is blinking.
