3-1. Operating Cautions

1The service life of the thermal print head cannot be guaranteed if any paper

other than the recommended paper is used. There will be a noticeable decline

intheservicelifeofthethermalelementoftheprintheadwhenthepaperused

contains (Na+, K++, CI-).

2Never print when there is water or any form of moisture, such as from

condensation, on the surface of the print head.

3-2. Safety Cautions

1Never touch the thermal print head or motor during printing or immediately

after printing as these components are very hot.

2Never touch any moving parts, such as gears or knobs, during printing.

3Always use care near the edges of printer components, especially metal

components, as they may cause injury.
