General Precautions

„The Printer

•Never disassemble the printer or allow it to get wet to avoid possible fire or electrical shock. Do not remove the power cord from or insert it into the electrical outlet with wet hands. Doing so could cause an electrical shock or fire.

•Do not touch the cutter. Personal injury could result. Take special care when changing the cutter unit.

•The printer is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or otherwise bang the printer.

•Do not lift the printer by the DK Roll compartment cover. The cover could come off and the printer could fall and become damaged.

•The printer may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc. Do not use the printer near any machine that can cause electromagnetic interference.

•Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight or near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or dusty locations. Doing so could cause the machine to malfunction.

•Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the printer. Doing so may cause damage to the surface finish. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the printer.

•Do not place any heavy objects or objects containing water on top of the printer. If water or any foreign object enters the printer, contact the retail outlet where the printer was purchased or your local authorized service center. If you continue to use the printer with water or a foreign object in the printer, the printer may be damaged or personal injury could result.

•Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, or serial port.

•Do not place any metal parts near the print head. The print head becomes very hot during use and remains very hot immediately after use. Do not touch it directly with your hands.

•Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the printer.

•When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the printer.

•Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.

•If a paper jam should occur due to a build up of adhesive on the paper guide surface, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and wipe away the adhesive buildup on the paper guide surface with a cloth dipped in ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It is recommended that you clean the paper guide when replacing the cutter unit. Refer to "Replacing the cutter unit" on page 33.
