cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PRECAUTIONS
FEATURES
CONNECTIONS
PLACES THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in an 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 (41°F-104°F) and the humidity of 30%-80% RH. When using the unit on
the system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
When the printer is used in a low temperature, it may take some time to start printing.
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 base 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OTHER CAUTIONS
• Do not pull out nor touch the print paper until printing is completed. It may degrade the print quality or cause an error.
• Dust or other foreign matter adhering to the print paper or the ink cassette, or deformation resulting from exposure to
extremely low or high temperatures could cause loss of color, uneven color or lines, or wrinkles in the print images.
• During printing on 13x18 (5x7”), 15x20 (6x8”) or 15x23 (6x9”) size paper, the printer may stop printing temporarily for cooling
down. (The COOLING indicator blinks.) Please wait for the printer to resume printing after its completion of cooling.
Do not touch the print paper.
• During printing, the printer may stop printing temporarily for cooling down. (The COOLING indicator blinks.) Please wait for
the printer to resume printing after its completion of cooling.
• Each time printing on 13x18 (5x7”)-size or 15x23 (6x9”)-size paper is completed, remove the prints. If the prints are not
removed, a paper jam may occur.
