FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE UNIT
Many plastic components are used in the unit.
Coat flaking and deformation are likely to occur if the
unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or
any other solvent, if rubber or PVC items are left in
contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit
is sprayed with insecticide.
CARE OF THE CABINET
Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry com-
pletely before operating. Never use petroleum base
solutions or abrasive cleaners.
HEAD ABRASION
The thermal head, like the video head, wears out.
When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out fine
details of the picture. In such a case, it is necessary to
replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer
for replacing the head.
WHEN A DEFECT IS FOUND
If you detect smoke or other smell from the unit, discon-
nect immediately the power cord plug from a wall socket
and ask the agent for repair. It may dangerous to
operate the unit under these conditions.
CONNECTION DEVICES
Read thoroughly "Operating Precautions" of the instruc-
tion booklets for the devices connected with the Video
Copy Processor.
Do not disconnect the power cord during printing.
CAUTION ON RELOCATING
When transporting this unit, make sure it is not likely to
be subjected to impacts. They can be a prime cause for
damage. Further, make sure to disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet, and the cables from the
connected devices.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD DURING A LONG
ABSENCE
Turn off the MAIN power switch and unplug the power
cord during a long absence.
THERMAL PAPER
2
Thermal papers listed in the page of SPECIFICA-
TIONS are available.
2
When the remaining length of the paper is about10"
(25cm), a color belt appears at the paper end.
Prepare for replacement of the paper. If the
remaining paper length is less than 10" (25cm),
printing becomes uneven due to the uneven
paper core surface.
2
When the Printed paper is touched by wet hand,
the print may be discolored.
2
When the paper runs out during printing, the printing
operation stops and "EP" is displayed by the indicator
on the front panel. Install new paper at this time.
2
Store the printed paper in a place with low humidity
free from a direct sunlight.
2
If the paper absorbs non-volatile organic solvents
(alcohol, ester, katone, etc.) the print may be
discolored.
Particularly, if the paper comes in contact with soft
vinyl chloride such as a transparent tape, it quickens
discoloration.
2
Do not use paper other than the specified one.
2
Immediately after the paper is replaced, 2-3 images
may be printed with a blank part due to hand's dust
or oil.
2
Avoid direct sunlight or places near heaters, etc.,
and store the paper in a place with 30
°
C ( 86
°
F)
or lower temperature and 35-80% RH.
2
When the paper is rapidly transferred from a cool
place to a hot place, a vapor or a dew is generated
on the paper surface causing paper jam or degraded
printing quality.
2
A finger print or dust on the paper surface may
degrade the printing quality.
Note:
Mitsubishi brand thermal paper is specially treated
with an anti-static coating against thermal head
damage caused by static-electricity discharge.
The use of non-treated paper may cause premature
head failure in your product.
