This list may vary depending on your location.

1-2 Operating the printer safely
The following precautions must be observed to assure safe operation of the printer. Also, do not do anything that is not described in this
manual. Doing so may cause an unexpected accident.
Installing location
Do not install the printer:
in a damp or dusty location
on an unstable table, on a slant, or any place where there is excessive vibration.
in a location susceptible to rapid fluctuations in temperature.
in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
Near flammable or explosive materials or heater, stove or other device that produces heat.
Place the printer away from walls to maintain air flow. Also, maintain at least 30cm (12") of open space above the printer and at least
15cm (6") on each side on the printer.
Blocking the vents may cause the printer to overheat and catch fire.
Power supply
Use a dedicated power cable and do not use an extension cord with multiple outlets.
Be sure to remove any dust from the plug and outlet. Humidity produces a micro-current on the surface causing overheating or fire.
Do not damage or modify the Power Cable. Also, do not place heavy objects, pull, or bend excessively.
Do not plug in or unplug the Power Cable if your hands are wet.
Ensure a ground wire is connected. When connecting the ground wire, note the following cautions:
•
Recommended connections for ground wires.
- Outlet ground terminal
- Ground terminals installed as type A, B, or C
- A copper rod 65cm (26") or longer buried in the ground.
•
Not permitted for ground wires
- Gas piping (risk of fire or explosion.)
- Water pipes or taps (water pipes that include plastic piping cannot act as a ground. However, if a water pipe is
configured to act as a ground, then connection of a ground wire is permitted.)
- Telephone line ground wires or lightning conductors (danger of high current flow in the event of a lightening
strike.)
Be sure to turn off the power and unplugs the plug from the outlets before moving the printer.
Pull on the plugs, not the cables, when unplugging it from an outlet.
Do not use an under-rated extension cord.

Handling
Do not use flammable sprays near the printer.
Do not touch anything inside the printer unless specified in this manual.
Do not place heavy items on the printer and do not lean on the printer.
While the printer is operating do not turn off the printer, unplug the power cable, or look inside the printer.
The cooling fan is always running for cooling the inside of the printer. This is not a malfunction.
The printer may cause static, flickering or interrupt reception or televisions or radios if they are too close to the
printer.
The lower part of the Top Cover, the printer internal heat roller section, and the thermal head section get very
hot. Ensure you do not touch these three locations.
