Sony UPDR200 Operating Instructions - Page 23

Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Precautions Safety • Operate the printer using the power source specified in "Specifications" (page 27). • Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord. • If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the power cord. • Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cable itself. • Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of electric shock from the internal parts. • Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock. • If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer. On condensation • If the printer is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce quantities of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the printer standing for at least one hour. • If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout. • To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the printing pack is removed from its package. Installation • Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to: - mechanical vibration - high humidity - excessive dust - direct or excessive sunlight - extremely high or low temperatures • Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other objects or by covering the unit with a cloth etc. Ventilation holes Note If you obstruct ventilation holes, the unit may not offer full performance. On Transporting the Printer Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories, ink ribbon and paper roll attached. Doing so may cause a malfunction. It is recommended that you store the ink ribbon and paper roll in the package they came in after you remove them. Cleaning Note Be sure to turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning. When the cabinet becomes dirty If the cabinet is dirty, wipe it using a cloth that has been soaked in water or mild detergent diluted in water, and thoroughly wrung out. Wipe the cabinet dry using a dry cloth. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine or chemical cloth, which may damage the finish. 23 Precautions
