Safety instructions

Before installing and using the printer, please read the following items carefully:

1) Install the printer on a flat and stable surface;

2) Reserve adequate space around the printer so that convenient operation and maintenance can be

performed;

3) Keep the printer far away from water source, and do not expose the printer to direct sunlight, strong

light and heat;

4) Do not use or store the printer in a place exposed to high temperature, high humidity or serious

pollution;

5) Do not place the printer in a place exposed to vibration or impact;

6) No condensation is allowed to the printer. In case of such condensation, do not turn on the power

until it has completely gone away;

7) Connect the printer power to an appropriate grounding outlet. Avoid sharing one electrical outlet with

large power motors or other devices that may cause the fluctuation of voltage;

8) Disconnect the power when the printer is deemed to idle for a long time;

9) Don’t spill water or other electric materials into the printer (e.g. metal). In case this happens, turn off

the power immediately;

10)Do not allow the printer to start printing when there is no recording paper installed; otherwise the

print head and platen roller will be damaged;

11)To ensure quality print and normal lifetime, use recommended paper or its equivalent;

12)Shut down the printer when connecting or disconnecting interfaces to avoid damages to control

board;

13)Set the print darkness to a lower grade as long as the print quality is acceptable. This will help to

keep the print head durable;

14)Do not disassemble the printer without permission of a technician, even for repairing purpose;

15)Keep this manual safe and at hand for reference purpose.
