∙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.

∙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 hap- pens, clean off the printer head by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol (page E-14).

∙Use of the Label Printer next to a television or radio may interfere with recep- tion.
