Immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest
dealer or service center for repairs. Do not try to service the
printer by yourself.
Disassembly
Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way.
Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Contact your nearest dealer or service center for repairs.
AC Adapter
Use only the specified voltage. Using a different voltage may
create the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Never cut, damage or modify the power cord. Also, never
place heavy objects on, set fire to or pull the power cord, as it
can damage the cord and create the danger of fire or electrical
shock.

dealer or service center. Continued use of such a cord creates
the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Never modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull the power cord.

Location
Do not locate the printer in areas subjected to high humidity or
dew. If dew forms inside the printer, immediately turn the power
and do not use it until it has dried up. Continued use creates the
danger of electrical shock.
Power
Never operate the power switch, replace the battery pack or
unplug the AC adapter or battery charger with wet hands.
Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock.
Thermal Head and Stepping Motor
The thermal head gets very hot after printing. Take care when
replacing labels after printed and when cleaning to avoid
being burned.
Touching the edge of the thermal head with bare hands may
cause injury. Take care when replacing labels or cleaning to
avoid injury.
Do not try to replace the thermal head by yourself. Doing so
creates the danger of injury, burns or electric shock.

3.3 Selecting the label sensor type
CX series printers can use Eye-mark, gap or notch label sensing. The sensing
method use by the printer must match to the media being used. If you are
using label printing software, it should provide a mean to set up these
parameters. See your software documentation for details. If you are writing
your own software or controlling the printer using direct commands, you must
use printer commands to set up the printer mode and sensing method.
