the paper. Align the paper with the guide
marks on either
side.
guide mark
guide mark
• Avoid pressing down on the
printer or scanner cover
while the printer is in
operation.
• Avoid pulling the
paper out of the
machine while
printing. Doing so
may affect the
quality of the poster.
• Hold the ends of the printer cover in both
hands and gently push the cover down
until locked in place.
• Be sure to switch the power off when
opening or closing the cover.
• Avoid contact with the thermal heads
(which retain heat) immediately after using
the printer.
• Be careful not to
damage the platen
rubber. Avoid wiping
the platen rubber
with alcohol or other
solvents.
• Avoid placing the printer in a location
where it is
subjected to
direct sunlight,
large amounts
of dust, or
near an air
conditioning or
heating unit.
When the printer is in use, the blade of the cutter is
•
designed so as not to protrude from the body of the
machine. However, when the printer cover is open,
pressing down on the cutter lever will cause the
blade to protrude. Exercise due
care to avoid cutting yourself.
• The cutter unit is made of
resin. Avoid pushing or
pulling on the cutter
with excessive force,
as doing so may damage it.
• Be careful to ensure that
pins, paper clips, and other
foreign objects are not
dropped inside the printer.
• Always use a soft, dry
cloth when cleaning
the printer.
• Avoid using
abrasive cleaners,
thinners, benzine, or alcohol in cleaning
the printer, as doing so may cause the
plastic to deteriorate or change color.
• Do not turn the power switch off during
the initializing or printing, as doing so may
affect output quality. Should the printer be
turned off at these times, turn the switch
on again, and wait until completion of the
initializing or printing.
