Troubleshooting
The Printer
Never disassemble the printer or allow it to get wet to avoid possible fire or electrical
shock. Do not remove the power cord from or insert it into the electrical socket with wet
hands. Doing so could cause an electrical shock or fire.
Do not touch the cutter. Personal injury could result. Take special care when changing
the cutter unit.
The printer is a precision machine. Do not drop, hit or otherwise bang the printer.
Do not lift the printer by the DK Roll compartment cover. The cover could come off and
the printer could fall and become damaged.
The printer may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc. Do not use the printer near
any machine that can cause electromagnetic interference.
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight or near heaters or other hot appliances, in
any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or dusty
locations. Doing so could cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the
printer. Doing so may cause damage to the surface finish. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean
the printer.
Do not place any heavy objects or objects containing water on top of the printer. If water
or any foreign object enters the printer, contact the retail outlet where the printer was
purchased or your local authorized service centre. If you continue to use the printer with
water or a foreign object in the printer, the printer may be damaged or personal injury
could result.
Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, or USB port.
Do not place any metal parts near the print head. The print head becomes very hot
during use and remains very hot immediately after use. Do not touch it directly with your
hands.
Use only the interface cable (USB cable) included with the printer.
When not in use for an extended period, remove the DK Roll from the printer.
Do not attempt to print labels while the DK Roll cover is open.
If a paper jam should occur due to a build up of adhesive on the paper guide surface,
unplug the power cord from the electrical socket and wipe away the adhesive buildup on
the paper guide surface with a cloth dipped in ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It is
recommended that you clean the paper guide when replacing the cutter unit. Refer to
"Replacing the cutter unit" on page 13.
Cutter unit
The cutter unit contains a very sharp blade. To
prevent injury from a broken cutter blade:
Make sure the top cover is closed when using
the cutter unit.
Don't apply too much pressure when fitting or
removing the cutter unit.
When the cutter unit becomes blunt you
should replace it with a new one.
If you break the cutter unit, unplug your printer
from the power socket and remove the cutter
unit carefully with a pair of tweezers.
