Proper Usage and Handling
Usage Location
• Do not use near strong magnets or near
devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields.
Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as
TVs and game machines, and strong magnetic
fields from devices such as speakers and large
motors, may cause distortion in printed images.
• Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Leave about 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around
the printer. Be sure to leave clearance around
the paper handling slot (at the rear) so that
paper has sufficient room to jut out from the
slot during printing.
Handling Precautions
• Never use volatile compounds or insecticides
on the printer, and do not allow rubber or vinyl
material to remain in prolonged contact with
the printer.
These materials may cause deformation of the
printer’s casing.
• Unplug the printer when you are not using it.
But please note that you should plug in and run
the printer at least once every six months to
ensure that it remains functional.
• Before transporting the printer, remove the
paper and ink cassettes and close the paper
cassette cover and the ink cassette cover.
• Pack the printer into an appropriate case for
transport. If a case is not available, wrap it with
cloth or other protective material to protect
against scratches.
Overheating
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop
operating.
This does not mean that the printer
has malfunctioned. The printer will resume
normal printing as soon as it cools down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur
in the following cases:
• When printing continuously.
• If the room is unusually warm.
• If the air vents are blocked or if ventilation is
inadequate.
