To Provide Service Safely

In order to properly conduct maintenance and prevent the occurrence of accidents, be sure to perform

the operations below.

•Turn OFF the power switch, and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

•Keep the area around the machine clean.

Particularly with disassembly, if the power is switched ON when an object such as a detached screw is

left inside the main unit, serious damage may occur.

•Do not pull directly on the cords of the internal wiring. Doing so may result in broken wires or poor

connections. Always grasp the connector when plugging/unplugging a cord.

Pay particular attention to the thermal head cable.

•The thermal head and print head can be easily scratched, so be careful when cleaning them.

•Cautions are explained for each point of assembly and adjustment. To ensure proper operation, read

this manual thoroughly so that you fully understand it.

Precautions

i AC-4000 Service Manual No.0181B

•Keep the machine surroundings clean and tidy. Take additional care, especially during disassembly,

not to leave screws etc. inside the machine as this may lead to serious injury.

•Do not pull internal wiring cables as cable breaks, poor contact, etc. may take place. Always hold

the connector end before removing. Take special care with thermal head cable, where poor contact

may lead to damage.

•Take care when cleaning thermal heads and print heads, as these are easily damaged.

•There are precautions relating to assembly and adjustment parts. Read and understand the manual

thoroughly before attempting maintenance.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

For safe operation, the following safety considerations must be observed.

Grounding

This machine requires protective grounding for safe operation. To avoid potential shock hazards, a

protective grounding conductor for the machine must be securely connected to the main grounding
