IMPORTANT NOTES IN SM2000 THERMAL PRINTER MANAGEMENT
In order to preserve the life of the printer, it is necessary to keep in mind some precautions in the
handling of the SM2000 printer. Please read carefully the following points in order to make a good use of
the printer.
SECURITY PRECAUTONS
•
Before using the printer, read carefully section 2-
INSTALLATION.
•
NEVER
connect the external power supply with the wrong polarity. This could permanently damage
the printer.
•
Turn off the printer immediately if it produces smoke, a strange smell or an unusual noise. Keeping
on using the printer could cause fire. Unplug the equipment immediately and contact your official
distributor.
•
NEVER
connect cables with different connectors from the ones mentioned in this manual. Making
different connections (for example, connecting a telephone line in the coins drawer connector) could
permanently damage the printer.
•
Use a power supply voltage whose output voltage is within the specifications range stated in this
manual. Over voltage can permanently damage the printer. Under voltage can cause malfunctions.
•
NEVER
wet SM2000 thermal printer with water or any other liquid. If any liquid is spilled inside of the
equipment, unplug the power cable immediately and then contact your technical service.
•
Make sure the printer is on a steady, horizontal, securely fixed surface. If the printer fell down, it could
break or damage.
•
NEVER
use the printer in high humidity or dirty places.
•
NEVER
place heavy objects on top of the printer and never lean on it.
•
NEVER
put any object inside of the printer, as it could cause hardware damage on it, such as short-
circuit, print head breaking or general failure of the printer.
•
NEVER
shock the SM2000 printer.
•
NEVER
disassemble or modify the SM2000 printer.
•
NEVER
try to repair the SM2000 printer. Please contact your official distributor in case of failure.
•
As the printer contains electromagnets (inside of the motor), it should not be used in excessively dirty
environments or places with dust or metal particles.
•
NEVER
print without paper loaded or without the cover closed, as the thermal print head life can be
highly shortened.
•
NEVER
pull the paper out when the cover is closed. Use the paper advance button instead.
•
Avoid touching with metal objects, such as screwdrivers or tweezers, the print head thermal elements
as well as the electronic printed circuit. They are delicate parts.
•
Never touch with your hands the areas around the print head and the motor surface as they become
very hot during and just after printing; wait 15 seconds to let them cool down.
•
NEVER
touch the surfaces of the print head thermal elements or the electronic printed circuit, as dust
and dirt can stick to their surface and cause damage by electrostatic discharge.
•
The thermal paper contains Na+, K+ and Cl- ions that can cause harm to the print head elements.
Therefore, use only the specified paper.
•
If the printer has not been used for long period of time and the paper was loaded, the paper could
become deformed by the drive roller pressure. It is recommended to make it advance at least 30 mm
before printing again.
•
For security reasons, unplug the printer if it is not going to be used over a long period of time.
•
Don’ t print continuously (without stopping) for more than 6 minutes.
