•Do not press against the LCD screen. The
screen may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
•Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for
long periods may cause malfunctions.

appear on the LCD screen. These points are
normal in the manufacturing process and do
not affect the printing in any way.
