3-1. Operating Cautions
1The service life of the thermal print head cannot be guaranteed if any paper
other than the recommended paper is used. There will be a noticeable decline
intheservicelifeofthethermalelementoftheprintheadwhenthepaperused
contains (Na+, K++, CI-).
2Never print when there is water or any form of moisture, such as from
condensation, on the surface of the print head.
3-2. Safety Cautions
1Never touch the thermal print head or motor during printing or immediately
after printing as these components are very hot.
2Never touch any moving parts, such as gears or knobs, during printing.
3Always use care near the edges of printer components, especially metal
components, as they may cause injury.
