Never handle the equipment in the following manners, as it may break, become out of

order, or overheat causing smoke and resulting in fire or electric shock. If the equipment is used in an abnormal condition, such as when broken, then problems, smoke emission, abnormal odor/no ise, and fire ca n result. If an abnormal condition exists , be sure to disconnect the power plug from a plug socket, and contact our dealer. Never repair the equipment on your own - it is very dangerous . Do not allow the equipm ent to receive a strong impact or shock, such as kicking, stomping,

hitting, dropping, and the like. Install the equipment in a well-ventilated place. Do not use it in such a manner that its

ventilation port will be blocked. Do not install the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions are

expected, or in a place where salt or gases are contained in the air. Do not connect/disconnect a power cord or a data cabl e, while holding the cabl e. Do not

pull, install, use, or carr y the equipment in such a manner that force will be applied to the cables. Do not drop or insert any foreign substances, such as cli ps or pins, into the equipment.

Do not spill any liqui d or spr ay any c hem ical- contai ning liq uid o v er the eq uipme nt. If any

liquid is spilled on it, tu rn off the power, disconnect the power cable and power cord from the plug socket, and so on, an d contact our dealer.

Never disas semble or remodel the equipment. Negligence of this may cause fire or

electric shock.

Use the equipment only with the specified commercial power supply and AC adapter.

Negligence of this may result in fire, elec tr ic shock, or problems. If you drop or break the AC adapter, or if water or the like gets inside it, unplug it

immediately from the sock et and contact your dealer. Do not damage, brea k, process , bend/ pull b y force , tw ist, or he ad an AC adapter cord. Also,

do not put a heavy substance on it or heat it. The AC adapter cord could be broken, resulting in fire, electric shock, or trouble. If the AC adapter cord is damaged, contact our dealer. Do not connect/disconnect the AC adapter with wet hands.

Do not overlo ad a single electrical outlet, using a table t ap or a current tap sock et .

An equipment packing bag must be discarded or kept away from children. A child can

Do not use or store the equipment in a place exposed to fire, moisture, or direct sunshine,

or in a place near a heater or thermal device where the prescribed operating temperature and humidity are not met, or in a place exposed to much oil, iron powder, or dust. T he equipment may become out of order, emit smoke, or catch fire. Do not install or use the equipment in a place like a laboratory where chemical reactions

are expected, or in a place where salt or gases are contained in the air. There is a danger of fire or electric shock. Install the printer on a flat, stable desk or table that is free from vibration, in a well-

ventilated place. Do not install the printer at a location where its operation could be hindered.

Do not place anything on the pri nt er or le ave small objects, like a cli p or pin, around it. A

foreign object could ca use t r ouble if it gets inside . Do not use any sharp-pointed object, such as a pen, for example, to touch the operation

panel of the printer. It could cause trouble. Do not use the equipment ne ar a radio o r TV recei ver. Do not share the p ow er from a plug

socket a radio or TV receiver is connected to. It may cause a reception problem. Use the equipment only at the specified power supply, voltage and frequency. Otherwise,

it may emit smoke and catch fire or cause other problems. Connect only the specified power source. Use of an unspecified power source could cause

trouble or smoke/fire. Confirm that a plug sock et used for connection has sufficient capacity .

Avoid connecting a power cable to a plug socket shared by other devices or extending the

wiring too far. It may result in the cable catching fire or a power outage. Also, do not step on or apply an excessive force (Pull, load) to the cable, and do not use the printer with such a force appl ied to it. Never connect a grounding cable (Frame ground) to a gas pipe. There is a danger of

explosion. When connecting or disconnecting the g rounding cable, be sure to disconnect the power cable and the power plug from the plug socket. When connecting/disconnect ing the cab les , be sure t o turn off the power first, including the

connected side, and then connect/disconnect them, holding a plug and a connector. Pulling the cable itself could cause it to snap or b e com e damaged. Connect a power cable or a connector cable securely. If a reverse-polarity connection is

made, internal elements may be broken or a mating device may be adver se ly affected. Use a shielding wire or twist ed pair w ire f or a sign a l line , in or der t o min imiz e no ise eff ect.

Do not route the cable too long or co nnect it to a noisy d evice . Connection to a no isy device could cause erroneous printing due to corrupt data, and so on. Use the equipment in a n en v ironm e nt wher e there is a plug socket near the ma in body an d

you can easily di sconnect the power plug from it, to shut off the power. When the equipment will not be used for a long period of time, unplug it and remove the

paper roll from it. When transporting the equipment, remove the paper roll from the paper holder.

2. Do not paste the paper to the core.

3. If the paper comes in contact with a chemical or oil, it may discolor or lose a record.

4. Do not rub the paper surface strongly with a nail or hard metal. It may dis c olor.

5. Discolor ing starts at about 70°C. Watch out f or ef f e ct s of heat, humidity, light, and so on.

6. Do not use the label paper when the printer has been set for thermal paper, and vice versa. Be careful not to mistake a type of label paper. It could cause malfunctioning or damage the printing head.

1) Use only the specified AC adapter.

2) When disconnecting/reconnecting the cable connector of the AC adapter, be sure to hold the connector.

3) Separate the AC adapter from other noise-generating devices.

4) Pulling the AC power cord may damage it, result ing in a fire, electric shock, or snapping.

5) If a thunder/lightning storm is nearby, disconnect the AC adapter from the socket and do not use the printer, because a fire or electric shock may occur.

6) Do not put the AC power cord close to a heating device. Its coating can melt and cause a fire or electric shock.

7) Install the printer in a well-ventilated place, because the AC adapter generates heat when it is used.

8) Use the specified AC power source. Connect to a power source with sufficient capacity. If the capacity is insufficient, a fire may result from heat generation.

9) After using the printer or when not using it for a long period of time, be sure to unplug the AC adapter from a plug socket for your safety.

3. Make sure that the pow er is turned on.

4. Pull the head-up lever to this side to raise up the printing head.

5. If there is still some paper remaining after a paper-out indication, eliminate the paper roll

according to "4.4 How to Remove the Remaining Roll Paper."

6. Insert the front end of the paper roll straight into a paper insertion slot.

7. Set the paper roll firmly in the paper holder.

8. Put back the head-up lever. The paper roll is automatically pulled in by the platen roller to

feed a constant amount of paper. (When auto-loading is enabled.) (For the label paper, it is fed to the print start position of the 2nd sheet.)

9. Put back the printer cover.
