or power supply having a different voltage or frequency.

WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
AVERTISSEMENT: CET APPAREIL DOIT ETRE MIS A LA TERRE.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES

IF ABNORMALITIES ARISE, .....

Use of the unit during emission of smoke or abnormal sounds (without adopting countermeasures) is
dangerous. In such a case, unplug the power cord from the source outlet immediately, and request
maintenance service from the sales dealer.

NEVER INSERT ANY OBJECT INTO THE UNIT

Foreign objects of an kind inserted into this unit constitute a safety hazard and can cause extensive damage.

DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER

Heavy objects placed on the Digital color printer can cause damage or obstruct proper ventilation.

PROTECT THE POWER CORD

Damage to the power cord may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging, hold by the plug only and
remove carefully.

DO NOT PLACE WATER CONTAINERS ON THE UNIT

Do not place flower vases, and other water-holding containers on the device. If, for some reason, water
seeps to the inside of the unit, unplug the power cord from the source outlet, and contact the sales dealer. If
used without corrective measures, the unit may be damaged.
"In the interest of safety, avoid handling of liquids near the unit."

DO NOT REMOVE THE CABINET

Touching internal parts is dangerous, and it may lead to malfunction. Contact the sales dealer to carry out
internal checks and adjustments. Before opening the cover to remove jammed paper, etc., be sure to
disconnect the power cord plug.

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD IF THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE

Turn off the MAIN power switch and unplug the power cord if the unit is not in use for extended periods.

WHEN TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

When transporting the unit, remove the sheet cartridge and paper from the paper cassette.

BE CAREFUL AROUND PRINT PAPER EXIT SLOT

Don't insert your hand or any material into the paper exit slot during printing.
Don't touch the cutter blade inside the paper exit slot as this can cause injury.

DO NOT TOUCH THE THERMAL HEAD

Do not touch the thermal head (located inside the unit).
The thermal head is heated to high temperature and may cause injury.

4

BE CAREFUL WITH THE PRINTING UNIT

Don't move the unit while the drawer is open. This may cause injury.
Be careful not to catch your finger in the printing unit while the drawer is being closed.

CONNECTION CABLES

Only use the cables provided.

INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION

Ventilation slots and holes are provided on the top, sides and bottom of this unit. Place the unit on a hard
and level surface and locate at least 10 cm from walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on
the system rack, ensure there is a space between the unit and the back of the rack.

UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS

Avoid uneven surfaces or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be
generated.

PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST

Do not place the unit in locations with high humidity and dust. They can cause extensive damage. Avoid
places where unit is likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapours.

PLACES LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT

Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which
may deform the cabinet, or cause other damage.

PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE

The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in unstable places.

PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION

In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is
likely to be formed.
If dew is formed, printing is not possible.

OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE

The operating ambient temperature range is 5°C- 40°C, and humidity of 20-80%. When using the unit on the
system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.

FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE

UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE DIGITAL COLOR PRINTER

Coat flaking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or
any other solvent, if rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit
is sprayed with insecticide.

CARE OF THE CABINET

Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry
completely before operating. Never use petroleum based solutions or abrasive cleaners.

HEAD ABRASION

The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out fine
details of the picture. In such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales
dealer for replacing the head.

5

CAUTION ON RELOCATING

When transporting this unit, make sure it is not likely to be subjected to impacts. They can be a prime cause
for damage. Also, make sure to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and all cables from the
devices.

CONNECTING DEVICES

Read thoroughly "Operating Precautions" of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the
Digital color printer.
The power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.

OTHER CAUTIONS

Dust or other foreign matter adhering to the print paper or the sheet cartridge, or deformation resulting from
exposure to extremely low or high temperatures could cause loss of colour, uneven colour or lines, or
wrinkles in the print images.

NOTE:
YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS REQUESTED FOR THE LOSS OF IMAGES IN MEMORY DUE TO THE
SUDDEN OCCURRENCE OF A MALFUNCTION.
