2. PRINTER SETUP 2.1 Precautions
This section outlines the procedures to setup your B-419 printer prior to
its operation. The section includes precautions, connecting cables,
assembling accessories, loading media, and performing a test print.
To ensure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the
operator and the equipment, please observe the following precautions.
• Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location
free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibration or
direct sunlight.
• Keep your work environment static free. Static discharge can cause
damage to delicate internal components.
• Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC
Power and that no other high voltage devices that may cause line
noise interference are connected to the same mains.
• Ensure that the printer is connected to the AC mains with a three-
prong power cable that has the proper ground (earth) connection.
• Turn off the printer power and remove the power cord from the
printer whenever working on the inside of the printer such as loading
the media, or when cleaning the printer.
• For best results, and longer printer life, use only TOSHIBA TEC
recommended media.
• Store the media in accordance with the specifications.
• This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore
you should never remove any of the covers of the machine as you
may receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer contains
many delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by
unauthorized personnel.
• Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth
slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
• Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as it may become
very hot while printing. Wait until it has had time to cool before
cleaning.
• Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the
printer is printing or while the ON LINE lamp is blinking.
• Ensure that there is an AC outlet that can be used only for the printer
close to the printer installation location.
