IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Bar Code Printer has been designed to give you many years of safe, reliable service. As with all electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid getting hurt or damaging the Printer.

∙Carefully read the installation and operating instructions provided with your Printer.

∙Read and follow all warning instruction labels on the Printer itself.

∙Place the Printer on a flat, firm, solid surface.

∙To protect your Printer from overheating, make sure all openings on the Printer are not blocked.

∙Do not place the Printer on or near a heat source, (i.e., a radiator or heat register).

∙Do not use your Printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.

∙Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the Printer. If you are unsure, check with your dealer or with your local power company.

∙As a safety device, your Printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug that will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you cannot plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-grounded outlet. Contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.

∙Do not place the power cord where it will be walked on. If the power cord becomes damaged or frayed replace it immediately.

∙Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots or openings on the Printer.

∙Only qualified, trained service technicians should attempt to repair your Printer.
