Before applying the label, check the environmental condition and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous area of the intended surface.

General Precautions

The Machine

• Never disassemble the machine or allow it to get wet to avoid possible fire or electrical

shock. Do not unplug the power cord from or plug it into the electrical outlet with wet hands. Doing so could cause an electrical shock or fire.

• Do not touch the cutter. Personal injury could result.

near any machine that can cause electromagnetic interference.

• Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight or near heaters or other hot appliances, in

any area exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or dusty areas. Doing so could cause the machine to malfunction.

• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the

machine. Doing so may cause damage to the surface finish. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the machine.

• Do not put any heavy objects or objects containing water on top of the machine. If water

or any foreign object enters the machine, contact the retail outlet where the machine was purchased or your local authorized service center. If you continue to use the machine with water or a foreign object in the machine, the machine may be damaged or personal injury could result.

• Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, USB port, Serial port or LAN

port.

• Do not put any metal parts near the print head. The print head becomes very hot during

use and remains very hot immediately after use. Do not touch it directly with your hands.

• Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the machine.

• When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the machine.

• Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.

Introduction

• As the end of the DK Roll is designed to not adhere to the label spool, the last label may

not be cut properly. If this happens, remove the remaining labels, insert a new DK Roll, and reprint the last label. Note: To account for this, the number of DK Labels included on each DK Roll may be more than indicated on the package.

• If a label is removed after being applied to a surface, some portion of the label may

remain. Remove the remaining portion before attaching a new label.

• Some DK Rolls use permanent adhesive for their labels. These labels cannot be easily

peeled off once attached.
