3-2 Handling, Maintenance, and Repairs Rev. A
❏ The heating element of the printer mechanism’s thermal head and the driver IC are easily
damaged. Never allow these components to come into contact with metal or other hard
objects.
❏ Never touch the printer mechanism’s (thermal head’s) heating element with your hand.
Doing so can soil the heating element and affect proper operation.
❏ The head and motor areas are very hot during and immediately after printing. Do not touch
components in these areas directly with your hand.
Paper Precautions
CAUTIONS:
❏ Be sure to use only paper that conforms with the specifications in the preceding section of
this manual. Thermal paper that includes Na, K, or C1 ions can affect proper operation of the
thermal head’s heating element.
❏ Thermal paper starts to color at around 70°C. Take care to protect unused and printed
thermal paper against the effects of heat, light, and humidity, which can cause the paper to
color and characters on the paper to fade.
❏ Take the roll paper out of the printer when you will not use the printer for a long time in a
high temperature and humidity environment.
❏ Do not use this unit to print on label paper.
