1-1. Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, check that all the necessary accessories are included in
the package.

1-2. Handling Notes
1. Install the unit on a stand or table which has a flat, even surface.
2. Do not connect the AC power plug to the same outlet used for other electrical
noise generating devices (such as an electrical motor, etc.)
IMPORTANT!
Install the printer near an easily accessible socket-outlet.
3. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign objects into the unit
as these could cause the printer to malfunction.
4. When cleaning the outer surface of the unit, wipe away dirt, foreign matter,
etc., with a soft cloth, soaked in a neutral detergent.
5. Do not attempt to print when the paper or ribbon cartridge are not loaded in
the printer as this could damage the print head.
6. Use only roll paper that is not glued to the core.
7. Do not open the front cover while printing (this is interpreted as a mechanical
error and the printer will stop).

1. DÉBALLAGE ET INSTALLATION
Fig. 1-1 Déballage (SP312)
1-2. Remarques concernant la manipulation
1. Installez l’appareil sur un support ou sur une table dont la surface est plate et
uniforme.
2. Ne branchez pas l’appareil à la même prise secteur que d’autres appareils
produisant des bruits électriques (appareils ayant un moteur électrique, etc.).
IMPORTANT !
Installez l’imprimante le plus près possible d’une prise secteur facilement
accessible.
3. Veillez à ne pas laisser tomber des trombones, punaises ou autres objets dans
l’appareil, cela risque de causer un mauvais fonctionnement.
4. Nettoyez la surface de l’imprimante à l’aide d’un chiffon doux humidifié et
d’un détergent neutre.
5. Ne lancez pas l’impression si le papier ou la cartouche de ruban ne sont pas
installés, sous peine d’endommager la tête d’impression.
6. N’utilisez jamais un rouleau de papier dont l’extrémité est collée au rouleau
central.
7. N’ouvrez pas le cache avant de l’appareil pendant l’impression ; en effet cela
serait interprété comme étant une erreur mécanique et l’impression s’interromprait automatiquement.

1-2. Hinweise zum Umgang
1. Stellen Sie den Drucker auf einem flachen, aber festen Untergrund auf.
2. Schließen Sie keine anderen elektrischen Geräte, die elektrische Störungen
erzeugen (wie z.B. Elektromotoren) an die gleiche Steckdose an.
WICHTIG!
Die verwendete Steckdose soll in der Nähe und frei zugänglich sein.
3. Achten Sie darauf, keine Papierclips oder anderen Fremdkörper in den
Drucker fallen zu lassen. Diese können Betriebsstörungen oder Schäden am
Gerät hervorrufen.
4. Bei der Reinigung des Geräteäußeren wischen Sie Flecken oder Schmutz mit
einem weichen, mit neutralem Reinigungsmittel angefeuchteten Lappen ab.
5. Versuchen Sie nicht zu drucken, wenn kein Papier oder keine Farbbandkassette eingelegt ist, da sonst der Druckkopf beschädigt werden kann.
6. Verwenden Sie nur Rollenpapier, das nicht am Rollenkern festgeklebt ist.
7. Öffnen Sie nicht die Frontabdeckung während des Druckens (dies wird als
mechanische Störung beurteilt, und der Drucker stoppt).

Fig. 1-1 Disimballaggio (SP312)
1-2. Note sul maneggio
1. Installare l’unità su un appoggio o un tavolo dalla superficie piana e regolare.
2. Non collegare la spina del cavo di alimentazione CA ad una presa cui sono
collegati altri dispositivi che generano disturbi elettrici (come motori elettirici,
ecc.).
IMPORTANTE!
Installare la stampante vicino ad una presa di corrente facilmente accessibile.
3. Fare attenzione a non lasciar cadere graffette, spilli o altri oggetti estranei
nell’unità perché possono causare malfunzionamenti della stampante.
4. Quando si pulisce la superficie esterna dell’unità, togliere lo sporco, materiali
estranei, ecc. con un panno morbido inumidito con detergente neutro.
5. Non tentare di stampare quando la carta o la cartuccia del nastro non sono
inserite nella stampante perchè tale azione può danneggiare la testina di
stampa.
6. Usare solo carta in rotolo che non è incollata al supporto centrale.
7. Non aprire il coperchio anteriore durante la stampa (questo viene considerato
un errore meccanico e la stampante si ferma).
