Notes on Use
Usage locations
„ Printer usage location
€ Do not use in the following locations:
•  Locations subject to a lot of dust or lint, as this may lead to inability to print cleanly.
•  In direct sunlight, near an air conditioner, or in any other location where temperature 
may rise above 95°F (35°C) or fall below 41°F (5°C). There is a risk of causing 
malfunction, deformation, or damage to the printer.
•  On a piano or a carpeted surface. There is a risk of causing damage or discoloration.
•  Where it can be exposed to tobacco smoke. There is a risk of causing the printer to 
malfunction.
• Keep away from magnetic and/or electronic hardware.
In order to prevent adverse electromagnetic effects, be sure to operate as far away as 
possible from the following type of appliances.
•  Mobile phones, microwave ovens, electronic game units and stereo speakers.
• Do not use the printer vertically.
This may cause the printer to malfunction.
„ If the printer’s inner components overheat
When the ambient temperature is high or when continuous printing has been performed, 
printing operations may temporarily halt in order to keep the internal temperature of the 
printer from rising. Printing will automatically resume when the internal temperature of the 
printer goes down. Ensure that the printer is used in a well-ventilated location.
„ When ambient temperatures are low
To maintain high quality image output, the printer does not begin printing until the internal 
temperature has warmed up, so it may take some time before printing starts. Printing starts 
automatically once the temperature has risen sufficiently.
„ To prevent the printer deformation and keep the case finish
Do not spill or allow any volatile solvents, such as benzine, paint thinner, or other solvents 
or insecticide to come in contact with the printer. Also, do not maintain contact with the 
printer by rubber or vinyl-coated materials for an extended period of time. This may damage 
the surface of the printer or cause the case finish to peel.
„ Required space during printing
Paper is ejected and inserted from the rear panel of this printer during printing.
Do not place any objects within 8.7
Ž (220 mm) of the rear panel of the printer. This may lead 
to paper jams.
