16.1 Installation precautions
1. Install the printer on a level surface. (Consult with a representative when installing the printer at an
angle.)
2. Be sure that there is plenty of space around the printer. (Refer to the diagram of the “External
Dimensions”.)
3. Since the thermal head is very hot, carefully examine where the printer is installed. (When a fan is
used to provide ventilation, be very careful of dust since it can damage the thermal head.)
4. Although this printer is made of plated steel sheets, the ends are not plated.
16.2 Other precautions
1. Correctly insert the paper before printing.
2. Do not use or store this printer in a dusty or oily environment or in a place containing a large
amount of iron.
3. Remove any dust, paper particles, etc. using either a soft brush or a cloth dampened in alcohol.
4. Do not apply a strong force to the printer. Otherwise, the frame may bend causing the printer to
malfunction.
5. The printer should only be used in the specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity,
etc.) and not subject to sudden environmental changes. When sudden environmental changes
occur, the printer should be kept in the new environment for approximately 30 minutes before it is
used.
6. Do not use the printer if condensation has formed on it.
