To avoid machine malfunction, do not use the equipment under the following conditions:
■
Static Electricity Damage
To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following components, touch a grounded metal surface, such as the
printer's bare metal frame prior to touching the component.
•
Interface connectors: parallel, USB, network, and connector for optional paper feeder
•
Connector pins on the optional paper feeder
•
Electrical components, connectors inside the printer
■
Interface Cable
Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an unshielded cable can result in radio interference with data.

The voltage level of the power source must not vary more than ±10% from the voltage level marked on the nameplate
(located on the rear of the unit).
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use a line conditioner, transient suppressor or surge protector as it may cause a machine error.
■
Ventilation Space
The ventilation space is needed more than 20 mm (0.8") between the printer and a wall.
