7Precautions to be followed when operating the printer

Warning

Be extremely careful not to touch the print head or serrated tear bar when replacing the paper. After printing, the print head can become hot and there is a danger of it burning your hand. Also, care should be taken when handling the cutter as it might cut your hand.

Precaution

If you use any paper other than the designated kind, the print quality will fall and the service life of the print head (printing unit) will be reduced.

Do not perform printing and do not push the paper feed button while there is no paper in the printer. The heat of the print head will deform the platen (roller) and friction with the platen will damage the print head.

Do not tap or rub the print head with a sharp or hard object.

• If moisture has condensed on the print head, be sure to wait until it is completely dry before performing printing. If you print while the print head is moist, there is a danger of damage to the print head.
