PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
• 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. The 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 place anything on the printer or leave small objects, like a clip or pin, around it. A foreign
object could cause trouble if it gets inside.
• Do not use the equipment near a radio or TV receiver. Do not share the power 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 socket 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 applied to it.
• Never connect a grounding cable (Frame ground) to a gas pipe. There is a danger of explosion.
When connecting or disconnecting the grounding cable, be sure to disconnect the power cable and the
power plug from the plug socket.
• When connecting/disconnecting the cables, be sure to 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 become 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 adversely affected.
• Use a shielding wire or twisted pair wire for a signal line, in order to minimize noise effect. Do not
route the cable too long or connect it to a noisy device. Connection to a noisy device could cause
erroneous printing due to corrupt data, and so on.
• When a drawer kick connector is provided, do not connect any device other than the prescribed solenoid
specifications. Negligence of this could cause trouble.
• Use the equipment in an environment where there is a plug socket near the main body and you can
easily disconnect 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.

CAUTION:
• Be sure to use the specified paper roll.
• Use of non-specified paper may not guarantee the print quality, printing head life, and so on.
• The printer cover is not detachable. Do not apply an excessive force beyond its stopping position.
• Do not insert a ragged or dog-eared end of the paper roll, because it could result in a paper jam or insertion
error.
• Always pull the end of the paper roll out to the edge of the uppercover. Take care to ensure that the paper
is not beyond or before the edge of the cover.
• When the paper roll has been set in place, the end of the paper may be fed from the paper outlet in a folded
or creased condition. If the paper does not appear at the paper outlet, check the end of the paper and set it in
place again.
• If the paper roll is skewed, pull the platen lever forward to correct its position.
• Do not open the printer cover while printing.
• Holding or touching the paper roll during printing may result in a paper jam.
• When the auto cutter is used for full cutting, remove the cut paper before starting the next print operation to
prevent jamming.

• Do not insert a ragged or dog-eared end of the paper roll, because it could result in a paper jam or insertion
error.
• Rewind the paper roll if the paper is slack. If there is too much slack in the paper roll, since the paper roll
is apart from the paper sensor, the printer may perform the operation described in 6. and 7. in 4.4.2
"Manually Inserting the Paper."
• If the paper roll is skewed, pull the platen lever forward to correct its position.
• When the paper roll has been set in place, the end of the paper may be fed from the paper outlet in a folded

bush guide of the chassis as shown in the figure.
8. While lightly holding the platen unit, hook the head springs on the hooks.
CAUTION:
• Do not carry out this work just after printing because the printing head is very hot.
• Do not move the head springs beyond the movable limits.
• When eliminating remaining paper, do not touch the heating surface of the head with a bare hand or metal
piece.
• When putting back the platen roller unit, be sure to confirm that it is correctly reattached.
