Warning
Do not set on an unstable area

falls off or topples over, it could injure someone.
Do not place containers full of water or other liquid on the printer
•Do not place flower vases, cups, or other containers hold- ing liquids, such as water or chemicals, or small metal
objects near the printer. If they are spilled and get inside the printer, immediately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO reseller or technical support center. Using the printer in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not put objects inside the printer
•Do not insert or drop in metal or burnable objects inside the printer’s openings (cable out-
lets, etc.). If foreign objects do get inside the printer, immedi- ately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO reseller or technical support center. Using the printer in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
Use only the specified voltage
•Do not use other than the specified voltage. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Always ground the connections
• Always connect the printer’s ground wire to a ground. Not grounding the ground wire could result in electric shock.
Handling of the power cord
•Do not damage, break, or mod- ify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the power cord, heat it, or pull it because doing so could dam- age the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock.
•If the power cord becomes damaged (core is exposed, wires broken, etc.), contact your SATO reseller or technical sup- port center. Using the power cord in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
•Do not modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull the power
cord. Using the power cord in such a condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
When the printer has been dropped or broken
•If the printer is dropped or bro- ken, immediately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact
your SATO reseller or technical support center. Using the printer in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use the printer when some- thing is abnormal about it
•Continuing to use the printer in the event something is abnor- mal about it, such as smoke or
unusual smells coming from it, could result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO reseller or technical support center for repairs. It is dangerous for the customer to try to repair it, so absolutely do not attempt repairs on your own.
Do not disassemble the printer
• Do not disassemble or modify the printer. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. Ask your SATO reseller or technical sup- port center to conduct internal inspections, adjustments, and repairs.
Regarding the cutter

Using the head cleaning fluid
• Use of flame or heat around the head cleaning fluid is prohibited. Absolutely do not heat it or subject it to flames.
• Keep the fluid out of reach of chil- dren to prevent them from acciden- tally drinking it. If the fluid is drunk, immediately consult with a physi- cian.
