2-1. Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, check that all the necessary accessories are included in the package.
Note:The ferrite core and fastener provided with your
printer depend on your printer configuration.
Fig. 1-1 Unpacking
If anything is missing, contact the dealer where you bought the printer and ask them to supply
the missing part. Note that it is a good idea to keep the original box and all the packing materials
just in case you need to pack the printer up again and send it somewhere at a later date.

2-2. Choosing a place for the printer
Before actually unpacking the printer, you should take a few minutes to think about where
you plan to use it. Remember the following points when doing this.
3Choose a firm, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to vibration.
3The power outlet you plan to connect to for power should be nearby and unobstructed.
3Make sure that the printer is close enough to your host computer for you to connect
the two.
3Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
3Make sure that the printer is well away from heaters and other sources of extreme
heat.
3Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
3Make sure that the printer is connected to a reliable power outlet. It should not be on
the same electric circuit as copiers, refrigerators, or other appliances that cause power
spikes.
3Make sure that the room where you are using the printer is not too humid.
WARNING
3Shut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or unu-
sual noise. Immediately unplug the equipment and contact your dealer for advice.
3Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous.
3Never disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in

2-3. Handling Care
1. Be careful not to drop paper clips, pins or other foreign matter into the unit as these cause
the printer to malfunction.
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.
3. Do not open the cover while printing.
4. Do not touch the print head immediately after 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.
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:
1. Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you feel comfort-
able, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
2. Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
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.
