INTRODUCTION
n Hold the plug when unplugging the power cable. Do not pull on the power cable itself,
or the cable may become damaged and cause fire or electric shock.
n Be careful not to drop anything into any opening of the product. Never push anything
into the openings. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
n In the event of any abnormality (such as smoke or odors), unplug the power
cable immediately. There is risk of fire or electric shock.
n Do not install the product where water splashes are likely or in areas of high humidity.
There is risk of fire or electric shock.
n Do not place drink or liquid containers or small metal objects on the product. These
items may cause fire or electric shock if they spill or fall inside. Immediately unplug
the power cable if liquids or metal objects are spilled on the product.
CAUTION
n Do not use isopropyl alcohol around open flames or heat sources. Alcohol is highly
flammable and creates a risk of fire or explosion.

Dimensions and Weight
• 8.3 inches (210mm) W x 21.6 inches (550mm) D x 15.0 inches (380mm) H
• Less than 35.3 lb. (16 kg )
Temperature and Humidity
Make sure that the following temperature and humidity conditions are met :
• Ambient temperature: 41 to 104 degrees F (5 to 40 degrees C)
• Ambient humidity: 20% to 90% RH (relative humidity) — no condensation.
Notes on the Operating Environment
When installing the product where the ambient humidity is 30% or less, it is recommended that
you use a humidifier to raise the humidity to higher levels. Use an antistatic mat as necessary.
Power Connection
Power Line Conditions
Ensure that the power supply satisfies the following requirements:
• Voltage: 85 to 132 or 170 to 265 VAC (automatic voltage switching)
• Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
• Power consumption: 250 VAC (Printing) or 80 VAC (Stand by)
If the power line is unstable, use a voltage regulator or similar device.
Connecting to Power
To connect the ATB printer to the power line, follow the instructions below:
• Plug the power cable of the printer in a dedicated wall receptacle. Do not plug any other
electric products into the same receptacle. If the printer shares a receptacle with an air
conditioner, copy machine, or shredder, faulty operation may result due to electric noise. If a
dedicated wall receptacle cannot be used, use a commercially-available noise filter or
transformer.
• Route the power cable such that people do not step on it. Do not place anything on the power
cable.
Important Note on the Side Cover
As a measure of safety, this ATB printer cannot be operated while the side cover is open.
Close the side cover and lock the cover with the key to print coupons.
