Installing the Printer

You must install this printer vertically (with the paper exit at the front).

If the paper exit is blocked by label backing paper accumulating on a table or other surface,

a paper jam or other problem may occur. Install the printer in a location, such as at the

edge of a counter, where the backing paper will not accumulate near the paper exit.

CAUTION:

Never install the printer in locations that receive direct sunlight. The diffuse

reflection from the roll paper may cause the label peeler detector to malfunction.

Note:

You can install it either on a flat surface, or you can hang it on a wall by using the

optional bracket (WH-10).

To hang the printer on the wall, see the Wall Hanging Bracket Set Installation

Manual provided with the WH-10 for instructions.

WARNING:

When hanging the printer on the wall with the hanging bracket set, be

sure to attach a connector cover to the printer.
