„The Cautions When Carrying Printer
• Pack up firmly in the case of carrying bag.  For details, refer to Transporting Printer.
• Be careful not to give it the strong vibration which puts a serious thing on the  carrying bag, and a shock. Printer itself  sometimes breaks down, and ink sometimes 
leaks out.
• When you remove the power cord, check that the POWER lamp is off completely. If  the power cord is pulled out while the POWER  lamp is on or flashing, it will become 
the failure.
Note X-ray and any other baggage inspection devices have no 
adverse effect on this printer.
