Failure to do so may
result in dropping
the unit, leading
to injury.
Do not hold the upper portion of the PC-600 when installing or moving the unit.
Avoid installing the PC-600 in the following conditions, as this may result in damage to the machine.
• Avoid use in locations subject to high levels of electrical noise (near motors, generators, transformers, and
the like).
• Avoid use in locations subject to high humidity or dust.
• The unit becomes hot during use. Do not install in locations where heat radiation is inadequate (i.e., areas
with poor ventilation).
• Do not install in locations subject to strong vibration.
• Do not install in a location exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light.
• Install in an environment having a suitable operating temperature and humidity.
Always make sure that the main power switch is switched off on both the computer and the PC-600 whenever
any cables are connected or disconnected.
Do not put the hands inside the left and right covers. Doing so may result in breakdown of the unit.
Do not touch the reflective panel with the hands.
If the reflective panel is soiled, it may become impossible to replace the ink-ribbon cartridge correctly .

Chapter 1 - Introduction
When arranging setup space for the PC-600, make sure you have a space that is at least 1500 mm (59-1/16 in.) wide, 750 mm (29-9/16
in.) in depth, and 1500 mm (59-1/16 in.) in height. Since the material moves during printing and cutting, make sure the unit is placed on a
stable, sturdy surface. Also make sure there is nothing that can block the material at both front and rear.
