X. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TDD

  • CAUTION: The adapters are NOT interchangeable. You MUST use the adapter that

    comes with your TDD.

  • Be sure to turn your machine OFF when not in use.

  • Keep your machine away from extreme temperatures - HOT or COLD.

  • Avoid dropping or shaking the unit. Electronic devices are very fragile.

  • Keep the unit as dust-free as possible. (Dust covers are available from

    Krown Manufacturing.)

  • NEVER run the printer without paper.

  • NEVER pull the paper out without pressing the [RETURN] key.

  • When traveling by air, carry your PortaPrinter in your carry on luggage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q:  Sometimes nothing happens when my TDD is turned ON. Any suggestion?

A:  Be sure the telephone cord is to your LEFT. Check the AC adapter/charger to

    make sure it is properly connected to the Porta Printer.

Q:  Why won’t my printer print?

A:  Your paper may be install wrong. See page 29 for information on loading paper.

 

To test the printer, press and hold down the [CTRL] and [Q]

 

keys at the same time. A test message prints: “THE QUICK

 

BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG 1234567890.”

 

To end the test, again press and hold the [CTRL] and [9]

 

keys at the same time.
