General Precautions

LPS-1

•The LPS-1 is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or otherwise bang the LPS-1.

•Do not grab and lift the LPS-1 by the LA Roll compartment cover. The cover could come off and the LPS-1 could fall and become damaged.

•The LPS-1 may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc. Do not use the LPS-1 near any machine that can cause electromagnetic interference.

•Do not expose the LPS-1 to direct sunlight.

•Do not place or store the LPS-1 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 LPS-1. Doing so may cause damage to the surface finish. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dirty LPS-1.

•Do not place any heavy objects or objects containing water on top of the LPS-1. If water or any foreign object enters the LPS-1, contact the retail outlet where the LPS-1 was purchased or your local authorized service center. If you continue to use the LPS-1 with water or a foreign object in the LPS-1, the LPS-1 may be damaged or personal injury could result.

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

•Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, or USB 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 LPS-1.

•Use only genuine Pitney Bowes accessories and supplies. Do not use any unauthorized accessories or supplies.

•When using the LPS-1, place it on a stationary, level location.

•Use only the authorized power source for the LPS-1.

•When not in use for an extended period, remove the LA Roll from the LPS-1.

•Never disassemble the LPS-1 or get it wet with water to avoid possible fire or electrical shock. Do not remove the power cord from nor insert it into the electrical outlet with wet hands. Doing so could cause an electrical shock or fire.

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

Pitney Bowes LA series Label Rolls (Die-cut and Continuous Tape)

•Use only Pitney Bowes LA series Label Rolls with this machine. Other rolls will not allow the machine to operate and could harm your LPS-1 Label Printer.

•If the label is attached to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before applying the label, clean the surface to which the label will be applied.

•Depending on the environmental conditions and the material, condition, roughness, and shape of the applying surface, part of the tape may not adhere properly or the label may peel off.

•In order to test the adhesive strength of the label or before using the label where safety is a particular concern, test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

•If the label is used outdoors, ultraviolet rays, wind, and rain may cause the color of the label to fade and the ends of the label to peel off.

•Do not expose the LA Rolls to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust. Store in a cool, dark place. Use the LA Rolls soon after opening the package.

•Scratching the printed surface of the label with your finger nails or metal objects, or touching the printed surface with hands dampened by water, sweat, or medicated cream, etc., can cause the color to change or fade.

•Do not apply labels to any persons, animals, or plants, or in public locations, or on another person's personal belongings without prior consent.
