This part of the manual provides you with important information you need to know in order to use the label printer to its full potential. Be sure to read it carefully before using the label printer for the first time.

Important Precautions

•Keep your label printer out of areas subject to temperature extremes, moisture and direct sunlight. The recommended temperature range is 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F).

•Don’t let coffee, juice or other liquids splash onto the label printer.

•Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into the tape outlet slot or printer of the label printer.

•Do not pile heavy objects on top of the label printer.

•Never try to take the label printer apart or attempt your own maintenance.

•Do not drop your label printer and avoid strong impact.

•Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the label printer.

•Never operate the tape cutter lever when a tape cartridge is not loaded in the label printer. Doing so can damage the cutter blade.

•Never touch the printer head with your fingers.

•Take care to avoid applying too much pressure to the tape cutter lever. Doing so can damage it.

•Do not use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to clean the exterior of the label printer. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened in a weak solution of a mild, neutral detergent and water. Wring the cloth out until all excess moisture is removed.

•A dirty printer head can cause printing to become smudged. When this happens, clean off the printer head by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol (page E-24).

•Use of the label printer next to a television or radio may interfere with reception.

Label Printer Menus

Label printer operation is designed to be as simple as possible, thanks to on-screen menus that you can use to select the settings you need. Each menu is described in detail in the sections that follow in this manual, but note the following general points when using them.

•The item that is highlighted in a menu is the one that is currently selected.

•Use u and i to move the highlighting up and down and change the selected item.

•Press SET to execute the highlighted item, or ESC to exit the displayed menu (and return to the previous menu or screen) without selecting anything.

•When you press SET to execute a menu item, the label printer either moves on to the next menu, or it executes the selected function and returns to the text input screen that you started from.

This part of the manual tells you how to load and replace batteries, load the tape cartridge, and perform other basic setups for the label printer.

Important! Be sure to read this section before attempting to use the label printer.

Power Supply

The Label Printer can be powered by a specified AC adaptor (AD-A12070) or eight AA-size alkaline batteries.

AC Adaptor

Note the following important precautions when using an AC adaptor to power your label printer.

•Use only specified CASIO AD-A12070 AC adaptor, and make sure the adaptor has the same voltage rating as the household current in your area. Using a wrong adaptor can damage your label printer.

•Be sure to turn the label printer off before you connect the adaptor. Do not turn power on until the adaptor is connected to the label printer and plugged into an AC outlet.

To connect the AC adaptor

Remove the AC adaptor connector cover, and connect the adaptor to the label printer as illustrated below. Plug the other end into a standard household AC outlet.

After you finish using the label printer, turn it off and disconnect the AC adaptor.

•Be sure to grasp the plug of the AC adaptor cord when disconnecting it. Never pull on the cord.

Loading/Replacing Batteries

A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is getting too low for proper operation. The message LOW BATTERY or REPLACE BATTERIES appears on the display if battery power is low when you perform any of the following operations.

•Switching power on

•Executing a print operation

•Executing a tape feed operation

You should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some power intensive operations (like printing or tape feed) may become impossible if battery power is too low. In any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible or switch to the AC adaptor as soon as possible after the LOW BATTERY message appears.
