Introduction

Precautions

Safety

• Operate the printer using the power source specified in “Specifications” (page

23)

• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cable.

• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the power cable.

• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the cable itself.

• Do not disassemble the unit.

• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric shock from the internal parts.

• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.

• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.

Installation

• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to: — mechanical vibration — high humidity — excessive dust — direct or excessive sunlight — extremely high or low temperatures

• Do not use other electronic equipment near the unit. The unit will not work properly in strong electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the printer.

Condensation

• If the printer is subject to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for at least one hour.

• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the ink ribbon or paper. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout. Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.

• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the printing pack is removed from its package.

7

Introduction

Location

To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room around the printer for air to circulate through the vents on the left hand side of the cabinet.

On transportation

Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.
