• When you remove printed paper

• When you perform other operations such as loading/replacing roll paper

DANGER

If any liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, promptly wash it out with clean water for more

than 10 minutes and consult your doctor at once. If you do not, the liquid may cause loss of eye-

sight.

Never disassemble or modify the battery pack. This may cause fire, explosion, leakage, overheat-

ing or damage.

Do not expose the battery to fire or heat it. This may cause fire, explosion, leakage, overheating or

damage.

WARNING

Keep the battery pack away from fire or flame if it produces a strange odor or leakage. Otherwise

fire or explosion may occur.

Should any battery liquid get on skin or clothing, promptly wash it off with clean water. If you do

not, the liquid may damage your skin.

Do not expose the battery to water. Do not allow water to contact the terminals. This may cause

fire, overheating, or electric shock.

Safety Precautions for Wireless connection

WARNING

In airplanes, follow the instructions from the airline. Turn off wireless devices during takeoff and

landing according to the in-flight announcement.

Do not use the product near medical equipment or in medical institutions. Radio waves may

affect artificial cardiac pacemakers or other medical electrical equipment.

Keep the product 22cm {8.66”} or more away from the location of an artificial cardiac pacemaker.

Otherwise, radio waves may affect operation of the pacemaker.

Do not use the product near automatic control equipment such as automatic doors and fire

alarms. Doing so may cause malfunction due to radio waves, resulting in an accident.

• Even after data transfer from the host computer is already finished, data may remain in the

buffer in the printer. When wireless connection is terminated, data remaining in the buffer

may be discarded. Before printing or terminating a wireless connection, make sure that the

transmitted data has been printed completely by checking the print job status or by checking

another way.

• For Bluetooth

®

interface models, when the wireless connection is ended while the printer is

offline, reconnection may not be possible. In such case, remove the cause of offline and recon-

nect it.

• For Bluetooth interface models, if you establish a radio connection between the host computer

and the printer each time you start printing instead of maintaining the connection, it may take

a while between the time you send a print job and the time that the printer actually starts

printing. This happens because connecting the host computer and the printer requires some

time. The time required for connection depends on the operating environment.

6

Restriction of Use

When this product is used for applications requiring high reliability/safety, such as transportation devices

related to aviation, rail, marine, automotive; disaster prevention devices; various safety devices; or functional/

precision devices, etc., you should use this product only after giving consideration to including fail-safes and

redundancies into your design to maintain safety and total system reliability. Because this product was not

intended for use in applications requiring extremely high reliability/safety, such as aerospace equipment, main

communication equipment, nuclear power control equipment, or medical equipment related to direct medical

care, etc., please make your own judgement on this product's suitability after a full evaluation.

Note about interference

• This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-

dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

• Flashes when an error occurs. (For details about the flash codes, see

"Error Status" on page 26.)

• Goes out during normal operation (online).

Charge LED (Orange)

• Lights when the battery is being charged.

• Off when the battery is not being charged.

• Flashes when there is abnormality in battery charging.

Battery LED (Blue)

The remaining battery charge is indicated by three LEDs only when the battery is installed in the printer. For

details, see

The printer does not operate and the LEDs go out when the battery is not installed in the printer

even if the printer is connected to the AC adapter.

20

Online and Offline

Online

The printer is online and ready for normal printing unless there is a reason to go offline.

Offline

The printer automatically goes offline and stops printing under the following conditions. Once all of the follow-

ing conditions are cleared, the printer becomes online and ready to print.

• During power on until the printer is ready
