2.1  Installation 
    To insure the best operating environment and to ass
ure the safety of the 
operator and equipment, please observe the followin g precautions. 
   Operate the printer on a stable, level surface in a  location free from 
excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibrati on and direct 
sunlight. 
   Keep your work environment static free.  Static dis charge can cause 
damage to delicate internal components. 
   Make sure the printer is connected to a clean sourc e of AC power and 
no other high-voltage devices, that may cause line  noise interference, 
are connected to the same mains. 
   Assure that the printer is connected to the AC main s with a three-
prong power cable that has the proper ground (earth ) connection. 
   Do not operate the printer with the cover open.  Be  careful not to 
allow fingers or articles of clothing to get caught  in any of the 
moving parts, especially the optional cutter mechan ism. 
   For best results, and longer printer life, use only  TOSHIBA TEC 
recommended media and ribbons. 
   Store the media and ribbons in accordance with thei r specifications. 
   This printer mechanism contains high-voltage compon ents; therefore 
you should never remove any of the covers of the ma chine as you 
may receive an electrical shock.  Additionally, the  printer contains 
many delicate components that may be damaged if acc essed by 
unauthorised personnel. 
   Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, dry  cloth or a clean cloth 
slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. 
   Use caution when cleaning the thermal print head as  it will become 
very hot while printing.  Wait until it has had tim e to cool before 
cleaning.  Use only the TOSHIBA TEC recommended pri nt head 
cleaner to clean the print head. 
   Do not turn off the printer power or remove the pow er plug while the 
printer is printing or while the ON LINE lamp is fl ashing.
