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).

find that a ferrite core is not open, use a
pointed object to pry the plastic lock of

To install the interface cable ferrite core

■ Clamp the ferrite core onto the interface cable as shown in Fig 3-2.

Take care to avoid damaging the interface cable when installing the ferrite
core. The ferrite core should be anchored firmly in place with the fastener that
comes with it, as shown in Fig 3-3 and 3-4.

To install the cash drawer drive cable ferrite core

■ Clamp the ferrite core onto the cash drawer drive cable, looping the cable as

shown in Fig. 3-2.

• When installing the ferrite core be careful not to damage the cable.

• The ferrite core should be anchored firmly in place with the fastener that

comes with it, as shown in Fig. 3-3 and Fig. 3-4.

• Do not forget to loop the cable.

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).
