Precautions on Handling the Printer
Observing the following operational precautions protects the unit against damage.
CAUTION:
❏
Do not turn off the printer while the autocutter is working. Doing so leaves the cutter
blade exposed, which prevents the roll paper cover from opening.
❏
Do not pull out paper when the roll paper cover is closed.
❏
Except for a paper jam, do not turn the autocutter knob when the cutter cover is
open. Turning it accidentally may expose the cutter blade, which prevents the roll
paper cover from opening.
❏
The heating element of the printer mechanism's thermal head and the driver IC are
easily damaged. Never allow these components to come into contact with metal or
other hard objects.
❏
Never touch the printer mechanism's (thermal head's) heating elements with your
hands. Doing so can contaminate the heating elements and affect proper
operation.
