If anything is missing, contact the dealer where you bought the printer and ask
them to supply the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original box
and all the packing materials just in case you need to pack the printer up again and
send it somewhere at a later date.

2-2. Locating the Printer
When you locate your printer, keep the following tips in mind:
ENGLISH
1. Protect your printer from excessive heat such as direct sunlight or heaters, and
keep it away from moisture and dust.
2. Place the printer on a firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free.
3. A steady power supply that is not subject to power surges should be connected
to the printer.
For example, do not connect it to the same circuit as a large, noise-producing
appliance such as a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
4. Make sure the line voltage is the voltage specified on the printer’s identification plate.
5. To disconnect the printer, the plug has to be disconnected from the wall socket,
which has to be located close to the printer, and easy to access.
2-3. Handling Care
1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as
these cause the printer to malfunction.
2. Do not attempt to print when either paper or ribbon cartridge is not located in
the printer, otherwise the print head can be damaged.
3. Do not open the cover while printing.
4. Do not touch the print head immediately after printing as it gets very hot.
5. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
6. When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before
it runs out.
2-4. Maintenance
Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with
a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example:
1. Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you
feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
2. Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
3. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices.
4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either
water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to
fall inside the printer.
5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a compressed-air aerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this operation,
be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic components.

4. Connecting Cables and Power Cord
4-1. Connecting the Interface Cable
Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, make sure that
power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is
turned off.
Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the
AC outlet.
(1)Connect the interface cable to the connector on the rear panel of the printer.
(2)In the case of a serial interface, tighten the connector screws. In the case of a
parallel interface, fasten the connector clasps.

4-2. Connecting to a Peripheral Unit
You can connect a peripheral unit to the printer using a modular plug. The
ENGLISH
following describes how to install the ferrite core and make the actual connection.
See “Modular plug” on page 115 for details about the type of modular plug that
is required. Note that this printer does not come with a modular plug or wire, so
it is up to you to obtain one that suits your needs.
Important!
Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet
and that the computer is turned off before making connections.
(1)Connect the peripheral drive cable to the connector on the rear panel of the
printer.
Important!
Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector.
Failure to observe this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, for safety purposes, do not connect wiring to the external drive
connector if there is a chance it may carry peripheral voltage.

4-3. Connecting the Power Cord
Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the power cord, make sure that
power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is
turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from
the AC outlet.
(1)Check the label on the back or bottom of the printer to make sure its voltage
matches that of the AC outlet. Also make sure the plug on the power cord
matches the AC outlet.
(2)If the power cord is not attached to the printer, plug the appropriate end into
the AC inlet on the back of the printer.
(3)Plug the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet.
