EMI COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
FOR CANADIAN USERS
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. This digital
apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications. This equipment is designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION : Use shielded cables to connect this device to computers.

General Precautions
Caution
• Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
• Do not drop or put foreign matter such as clips and pins into the printer. This
may cause problems.
• Be careful when moving or carrying the printer. Dropping the printer may
cause injury or property damage.

• Do not spill liquids or spray insecticide on the printer.
• Do not jolt or impact to the printer by stepping on, dropping or hitting the
printer.
• Operate the control panel properly. A careless, rough handling may cause
problems or malfunction. Do not use such sharp-edged tool as a ballpoint
pen for operation.
• Be careful of the edges of the plates so injury or property damage is possible.
• If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
• When printer trouble occurs, do not try to dissemble it. Instead, consult our
service personnel.
10
Precautions When Installing the Printer
Caution
• Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
• Do not use or store the printer near fire, excessive moisture, in direct sunlight,
near an air conditioner or heater or other source of unusually humidity or
excessive dust.
• Do not place the printer where chemical reactions occur, such as in a
laboratory.
• Do not place the printer where air is mixed with salt or gas.
• The printer must sit on a firm, level surface where there is ample ventilation.
Never allow the printer's air vent to be blocked by an object.
• Do not put anything on the top of printer.
• Do not place the printer near a radio or television, and do not use the same
wall outlet for the printer and radio or television. Radio or television reception
could be adversely affected.
• Do not put anything on the power cord or step on it.
• Do not drag or carry the printer with the power cord or interface cable.
• Avoid plugging the power cord into an outlet with many loads.
• Do not bundle the power cord when inserting the plug.
• Always grip the plug housing, not the cord, to plug/unplug the power cord.
• Make certain the power is turned off before connecting/disconnecting the
interface cable.
• Avoid lengthening the signal cable or connecting it to any noise-producing
device. If it is unavoidable, use the shielded cable or twisted pair for each
signal.
• Place the printer near the outlet where the power cord can be unplugged
easily to shut off power.
• Use the AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug. Otherwise, static
electricity may be generated and there will be danger of electric shock.
• Do not carry it holding the cover.
Doing this might break its mechanisms or cause it to malfunction.

Preparing the Printer
Connecting the Power
1.Make sure that the printer power
switch is set to OFF.
2.If your printer is an AC adapter type,
insert the AC adapter cable connector
with its flat side upwards into the
power connector on the rear surface
of the printer.
If your printer is a built-in AC adapter
type, insert the plug on the power
cord into the AC inlet on the back
surface of the printer.
Caution
Do not use an AC
adapter other than
the stipulated product
(Model 51AD).
Always hold the connector when
inserting or removing the cable
connector of the AC adapter.
Stretching the power cord by pulling
it will damage it, causing fire, electric
shocks, or a break in the conductor.
When lightening is striking nearby,
remove the plug of the power cord
from the outlet. Lightening will cause
fire or electric shock.
Do not place the power cord near a
heating device. The cover of the power
cord will melt, causing fire or electric
shock.
When the printer will not be used for
a long period, be sure to remove the
plug of the power cord from the outlet
to guarantee safety.
Isolate the AC power source from
other devices that generate noise.

When the sensor has detected the remaining roll paper during printing, the printer
stops printing after it has printed all the data that it had received.
If you are using a model with parallel (IEEE1284) interface specifications, you can
select sensor enabled/disabled in Soft SW Setting Mode.
If you are using a model with serial (RS232C) interface specifications, it is always
