Operating precautions :
→ Please follow the precautions below to enjoy and maintain the full
performance of the printer.
Using the printer :
Be careful not to drop or bump the printer on a hard surface;
Do not install the printer in direct sunlight or such areas. Suitable environment
for the use of the printer is as follows:
Operating temperature : -10°c à 50°C
Relative humidity : 30 % et 80 %
Do not install the printer near devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields
such as a copy machine.
Do not open platen cover during printing.
Do not remove or reinstall the communication cable during printing or
transmission.
Do not touch the connectors of the communication cable during printing.
Switch the POWER OFF when not in use.
Do not use other solvent.
The AC adapter, the battery charger and the battery pack may
become warm when in use. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
When the battery pack is used at low temperature, the length of time
the printer can be used may be shortened.
Thermal paper handling :
Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry and dark place.
Do not rub the paper with hard object.
Do not allow plastic film, erasers, or adhesive tape to touch the paper for long
periods.
Do not use chemical glue.
Always use the clean thermal paper.
