The print head and the metal parts around it can become very
hot.
Do not touch them. Doing so creates the risk of burn injury.
Display Screen
Never push on the display screen’s LCD panel or subject it
•
to strong impact. Doing so can cause the LCD panel’s glass
to crack, creating the risk of personal injury.
Should the LCD panel ever crack or break, never touch the

Observe the following precautions to ensure that the printer provides you with
the years of trouble-free operation for which it is designed.
Avoid using the printer in areas exposed to direct sunlight, and in areas
•
subjected to high humidity, electrostatic charge, sudden temperature
changes, and temperature extremes. Operating Temperature Range: 10°C
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)
Battery capacity becomes lower at temperatures of 10°C (50°F) and colder.
•
This can cause the message LOW BATTERY! to appear sooner than
normal. If this happens, move the printer to a location that is within the
operating temperature range (10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)).
Never subject the printer to strong impact or shock.
•
Never allow paper clips, pins, or other similar objects to get inside the
•
printer mechanism.
Do not pull on the tape with undue force or try to push it back into the
•
printer.
Unclear printing can indicate a dirty print head. If printing becomes unclear,
•
use the procedures on page 53 to clean the print head and rubber roller.
