2-3. Handling Care
1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit
as these cause
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.
Do not open the cover while printing.
3.
4. Do not touch the print head immediately aer 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.
the printer to malfunction.
WARNING
P
Shut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange
odor, or unusual noise. Immediately unplug the equipment and contact
your dealer for advice.
P
Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be
dangerous.
P
Never disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product
may result in injury, re, or electric shock.
P
During and immediately aer printing, the area around the print head is
very hot. Do not touch it, as you could be burned.
CAUTION
P
We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet
whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you
should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is
nearby and easy to access.
P
If the voltage shown on the label on the of your printer does not match the
voltage for your area, contact your dealer immediately.
P
Make sure that the printer is turned o and unplugged from the AC outlet
and that the computer is turned o before making connections.
P
Do not connect a telephone line into the modular connector.
P
Do not pull out paper while the printer cover is closed.
P
If liquids, foreign objects (coins and paper clips), and so on enter the
printer, turn o the printer, unplug it from the AC outlet, and contact your
dealer for advice. Continued use could cause a short circuit, which may
result in re or electric shock.

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:
Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you
1.
feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
2.
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.

(1) Turn power o, li the Printer Cover up and remove it.
Note: Be careful not to touch the print head immediately after printing,
because it can get very hot.

(2) Unwind ribbon so that the spools are separated as shown in Figure 4-3.
Hold the ribbon taut as shown with the drive pins facing down and slide
the ribbon between the print head and the platen. While keeping the rib
b
on taut, wrap one side around the black ribbon guide on the end of the
platen and drop one spool on the spool sha. As you move the spool down
wa
rds, move the detecting lever aside to allow the spool to drop into place.
Make sure the spool drive pins engage with the spool drive holes. As the
spool drops into place there will be a click.
(3) While continuing to hold the ribbon taut, install the remaining ribbon
spool in a similar fashion.
(4) Turn the spool that rotates freely to take up the ribbon slack.

4-3. Paper Insertion
4-3-1. Model DP8340FC
(1) Cut the Roll Paper end straight and square. Hold the roll so that the paper
comes from the bottom.
(2) Attach the Roll Paper to the Holders Paper by slipping one side of the roll
onto the Hub and pulling the other Hub out to allow the roll to slip in place.
(3) Insert the paper evenly into the Paper Insertion Slot.
(4) Turn the Power Switch “ON”, and press the FEED Button. e paper will be
fed into the unit.

4-3-2. Model DP8340SC
1. Make a straight cut along the top of the paper, about 1/4 inch away from the
sprocket holes, (as shown in the gure). If there is perforation, cut the paper
on the perforation.
2. Insert the paper squarely into the paper insertion slot until the ALARM
lamp goes out. en, hold down the FEED switch to advance the paper 8
lines, and release the switch when 8-line feeding is completed.
If the paper is not fed straight during 8-line feeding, straighten the paper by
pulling it back slowly as you hold the paper release lever down. If a sprocket
hole is torn or enlarged, recut the paper and reinsert it as before.
3. Aer conrming that the paper has been fed in straight, feed the paper
continuously by holding the feed switch down.
4. Release the feed switch when the paper emerges through the paper outlet.

4-4. Paper Removal
Cut the paper close to the slot and use the feed button until paper has passed
completely through the printer.
Note: Do not try to remove the paper by hand as it could become crooked
and get jammed inside the printer.

Other AC adapters may not meet the EMC technical standards.
When printer power is supplied by the user rather than through the accessory
power source unit, please be careful of the following points.
Note 1: An electrolytic capacitor (C = 4700µF/25V to 6800µF/25V) must be
connected across the output of the power supply. Use a power supply
of DC 12 V ± 5% and more than 2.0 A with SELV output and LPS or
