Storing unused paper • Stored unused paper at a temperature below 30°C (86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight. • Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride. Loading paper • Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid touching the printing surface with your fingers. Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause pictures to blur. • After removing the label from the leading edge of the paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.) before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could spoil a picture. Storing printouts • To prevent printouts from fading or changing color, store them in a cool, dry location where the temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F). • Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between sheets of paper that contain no plastic. • Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity. • Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the prints to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride. • To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a diazo copy sheet. • To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use double-sides tape or a water base adhesive. • Do not incinerate waste printer paper.

• Check the operating voltage before operation. Operate the unit only with a power source specified in “Specifications”. • Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel. • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. • Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. • Connect the power plug of the unit to a wall outlet with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth should be properly established.

• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the unit. In such cases the unit will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.
