When operating the printer
❏Adjust only those controls that are covered in the user documentation. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage requiring extensive repair by a qualified technician.
❏Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage it.
❏Do not turn off the printer while it is printing the self test. Always press the Pause button to stop printing and then turn off the printer.
❏Do not reconnect the power cord to an electrical outlet that has the wrong voltage for your printer.
❏Never replace the print head yourself; you may damage the printer. Also, other parts of the printer must be checked when the print head is replaced.
❏You may need to move the print head by hand to replace the ribbon cartridge. If you have just used the printer, the print head may be hot; let it cool before touching it.
When handling paper
❏Because labels are sensitive to temperature and humidity, use them only under these normal operating conditions:
Temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C)
Humidity: 30 to 60% RH
❏Do not leave labels in the printer between jobs; they may curl around the platen and jam when you resume printing.
❏Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
