rack, leave space between the unit and the back of the rack.
UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid installing the printer in unstable locations with high vibration or in 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.
PRECAUTIONS
FEATURES
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 operated when tilted, inclined or in unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
When the unit is moved from a cold area into a warm area, moisture can condense inside the unit and prevent operation. Allow
the temperature to stabilize before use.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating temperature range is 5°C to 35°C (41°F - 95°F) and humidity of 30 - 80% RH. When using the unit in a system
rack, make sure that the temperature inside the rack does not exceed this range.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE PRINTER
Paint coat flaking and plastic 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 a extended period, 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.
