This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone wearing 

a pacemaker who experiences discomfort while working around 

the printer should leave the area and consult a doctor.

Follow the items below as there is a risk of fire and electrical 

shock.

• Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, 

thinner, or other flammable liquids.

• Use the cables that are included with the printer. Do not use 

the cables included with the printer with other devices.

• Use the printer with a power supply that meets the operating 

conditions of the printer.

• Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power 

outlet.

• Never handle the power cable with wet hands.

stretch it or bend it forcefully.

• Never place a heavy object on the power cable.  

• Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. 

• Do not insert multiple power cables into the same outlet, and 

do not connect multiple extension cords.

• If there is lightning nearby, disconnect the power cable from 

the outlet and do not use the printer.

• When cleaning, always disconnect the cables and power 

cable that are connected to the printer, and use a cloth 

dampened in water. Never use flammable solvents such as 

alcohol, benzene, or thinner.

• Never disassemble the printer or attempt to modify.

• Once per month, disconnect the power cable and power cord 

from the outlet, and check that dust has not accumulated, and 

that there are no abnormalities such as heat generation, rust, 

bending, chafing, or cracking.

• If any foreign matter (metal fragments, liquids, etc.) gets inside 

the printer.

• If abnormal conditions occur such as emitting smoke, strange 

smells, or strange noises.

bent, chafed, or cracking.

• For cleaning, use a cloth dampened in water. Never use flam-

mable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these 

substances come into contact with electrical components 

inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface.

• Never place the printer outdoor or in a location that is exposed 

to high humidity or large amounts of dust, or exposed to direct 

sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. Refer to “Specifica-

fibers, dust, etc. may get inside the printer.

• Never place the rear surface of the printer against a wall.

• We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.

• Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromag-

netic fields, whether equipment that generates such fields or 

places where such fields occur.

• Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that 

you can disconnect the power cable immediately.

• Always grip the plug to remove the power cord from the power 

outlet. Pulling on the power cord could damage the cord.

place the printer on its side, or turn the printer upside-down. 

Doing so may cause ink to leak.

• Connect the interface cable correctly. To avoid damage, 

before connection make sure that the shape of the cable con-
