Precautions When Installing the Printer
1. Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
2. Do not use or store the printer near fire, excessive moisture, in direct
sunlight, near an air conditioner or heater or other source of unusually high
or low temperature or humidity or excessive dust.
3. Do not place the printer where chemical reactions occur, such as in a
laboratory.
4. Do not place the printer where air is mixed with salt or gas.
5. The printer must sit on a firm, level surface where there is ample ventilation.
Never allow the printer's air vent to be blocked by a wall or other object.
6. Do not place anything on the top printer.
7. Do not place the printer near a radio or television, and do not use the same
wall outlet for the printer and radio or television. Radio or television
reception could be adversely affected.
8. Do not bundle the power cord when inserting the plug.
9. Grip the plug housing, not the cord, to unplug the power cord.
10. Make certain the interface cable is attached properly. If polarity direction is
not correct, this may cause internal damage.
11. Make certain the power is turned off before attaching/detaching the interface
cable.
12. Avoid lengthening the signal cable or attaching it to any noise-producing
device. If it is unavoidable, use the shielded cable or twisted pair for each
signal.
