Precautions
The following precautions will help to ensure that this machine will continue to function correctly.
● Try to avoid locations that have the following adverse conditions: |
|
|
|||
* |
Temperatures out of the specification |
* |
Direct sunlight |
* |
High humidity |
* |
Shared power source |
* |
Excessive vibration |
* |
Dust/Gas |
●The cover should be cleaned by wiping with a dry cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. NEVER USE THINNER OR ANY OTHER VOLATILE SOLVENT on the plastic covers.
●USE ONLY TOSHIBA TEC SPECIFIED paper and ribbons.
●DO NOT STORE the paper or ribbons where they might be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, dust, or gas.
●Ensure the printer is operated on a level surface.
●Any data stored in the memory of the printer could be lost during a printer fault.
●Try to avoid using this equipment on the same power supply as high voltage equipment or equipment likely to cause mains interference.
●Unplug the machine whenever you are working inside it or cleaning it.
●Keep your work environment static free.
●Do not place heavy objects on top of the machines, as these items may become unbalanced and fall causing injury.
●Do not block the ventilation slits of the machines, as this will cause heat to build up inside the machines and may cause fire.
●Do not lean against the machine. It may fall on you and could cause injury.
●Care must be taken not to injure yourself with the printer paper cutter.
●Unplug the machine when it is not used for a long period of time.
Request Regarding Maintenance
●Utilize our maintenance services.
After purchasing the machine, contact your authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance once a year to have the inside of the machine cleaned. Otherwise, dust will build up inside the machines and may cause a fire or a malfunction. Cleaning is particularly effective before humid rainy seasons.
●Our preventive maintenance service performs the periodic checks and other work required to maintain the quality and performance of the machines, preventing accidents beforehand.
For details, please consult your authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative for assistance.
●Using insecticides and other chemicals
Do not expose the machines to insecticides or other volatile solvents. This will cause the cabinet or other parts to deteriorate or cause the paint to peel.

2. PRINTER SETUP
2.1 Precautions
This section outlines the procedures to setup your B-419 printer prior to its operation. The section includes precautions, connecting cables, assembling accessories, loading media, and performing a test print.
To ensure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the operator and the equipment, please observe the following precautions.
∙Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibration or direct sunlight.
∙Keep your work environment static free. Static discharge can cause damage to delicate internal components.
∙Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC Power and that no other high voltage devices that may cause line noise interference are connected to the same mains.
∙Ensure that the printer is connected to the AC mains with a threeprong power cable that has the proper ground (earth) connection.
∙Turn off the printer power and remove the power cord from the printer whenever working on the inside of the printer such as loading the media, or when cleaning the printer.
∙For best results, and longer printer life, use only TOSHIBA TEC recommended media.
∙Store the media in accordance with the specifications.
∙This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore you should never remove any of the covers of the machine as you may receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer contains many delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by unauthorized personnel.
∙Clean the outside of the printer with a clean dry cloth or a clean cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
∙Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as it may become very hot while printing. Wait until it has had time to cool before cleaning.
∙Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the printer is printing or while the ON LINE lamp is blinking.
∙Ensure that there is an AC outlet that can be used only for the printer close to the printer installation location.
