During Operation
1 Usage of printing paper other than that suggested herein will produce poorer quality
printouts and reduce the life of the print head (the part that prints the letter).
2 To prevent damage to the print head, do not allow the printer to print without any
paper in the unit (empty print). Do not put down the paper depress lever (lowering the
print head) and turn the roller knob. The hot print head can melt the roll and the
friction can damage the print head.
3 Do not hit the print head with a hard or sharp object or rub it in any way.
4 When not using the printer for extended periods of time put the paper depressor bar in
the upright position so that it is away from the roller.
If the paper depressor bar is left down it may deform the roller.
5 If dew gathers on the printer, be sure to wipe the print head before use. If you do not
do this the print head will be damaged.
6 When pulling paper out of the printer, always lift the paper depressor bar beforehand.
If you pull the paper out with the bar down the printer head and the motor may be
damaged.
7 Depending on the paper, the darkness and contrast of the print will vary. When the
contrast is too dark or too light, please make adjustments at the printer contrast setting
command in the Command Reference.
8 When using copy paper, please set the paper type to 2 copies paper at the print paper
setting command in the command reference.
9 When using the printer in the copy paper mode, sometimes the first page and the
second slip to the wrong place, and the print becomes scratchy, in this case please
print one more time from the beginning.
10 When printing directly after turning the paper feed knob, some dots in the first line will
be crushed. To avoid this, turn the knob slightly in the opposite direction, or press the
Paper Feed button (FEED) to feed a little more paper before printing.
