Try to avoid locations that have the following adverse conditions:  
* Temperatures out of the specification  
* Shared power source  
* Direct sunlight  
* High humidity  
* Dust/Gas  
* Excessive vibration  
The cover should be cleaned by wiping with a dry cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with a mild  
detergent solution. NEVER USE THINNER OR ANY OTHER VOLATILE SOLVENT on the plastic  
covers.  
USE ONLY TOSHIBA TEC SPECIFIED paper and ribbons.  
DO NOT STORE the paper or ribbons where they might be exposed to direct sunlight, high  
temperatures, high humidity, dust, or gas.  
Ensure the printer is operated on a level surface.  
Any data stored in the memory of the printer could be lost during a printer fault.

likely to cause mains interference.  
Unplug the machine whenever you are working inside it or cleaning it.  
Keep your work environment static free.  
Do not place heavy objects on top of the machines, as these items may become unbalanced and fall  
causing injury.  
Do not block the ventilation slits of the machines, as this will cause heat to build up inside the  
machines and may cause fire.  
Do not lean against the machine. It may fall on you and could cause injury.  
Care must be taken not to injure yourself with the printer paper cutter.  
Unplug the machine when it is not used for a long period of time.

2.1 Precautions  
2. PRINTER SETUP  
This section outlines the steps necessary to setup your printer prior to its  
operation.  
The section includes precautions, connecting cables,  
assembling accessories, loading media, and performing a test print.  
To insure the best operating environment, and to assure the safety of the  
operator and the equipment, please observe the following precautions.  
2.1 Precautions  
Operate the printer on a stable, level, operating surface in a location  
free from excessive humidity, high temperature, dust, vibration or  
direct sunlight.  
Keep your work environment static free. Static discharges can cause  
damage to delicate internal components.  
Make sure that the printer is connected to a clean source of AC Power  
and that no other high voltage devices that may cause line noise  
interference are connected to the same mains.  
Ensure that the printer is connected only to AC mains that has a  
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 into any of the  
moving parts of the printer.  
Make sure to turn off the printer power and to remove the power  
adapter connector from the printer whenever working on the inside of  
the printer or when cleaning the printer.  
For best results, and longer printer life, use only TOSHIBA TEC  
recommended media.  
Store the media in accordance with the specifications.  
This printer mechanism contains high voltage components; therefore  
you should never remove any of the covers of the machine as you may  
receive an electrical shock. Additionally, the printer contains many  
delicate components that may be damaged if accessed by unauthorized  
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 may become  
very hot while printing. Wait until it has had time to cool before  
cleaning. Use only the TOSHIBA TEC recommended print head  
cleaner to clean the print head.  
Do not turn off the printer power or remove the power plug while the  
printer is printing or while the Indictor Lamp is flashing.

Cut mode:  
WARNING!  
When the Cutter is fitted, the media is automatically cut.  
After loading the media as described on the previous pages, insert the  
leading edge of the media into the Media Outlet of the Cutter.  
1. When attaching or removing  
the cutter cover, be sure to  
turn off the power. Otherwise,  
you may be injured.  
2. The cutter is sharp, so care  
must be taken not to injure  
yourself when handling the  
cutter.  
CAUTION!  
1. Be sure to cut the backing  
paper of the label. Cutting  
labels will cause the glue to  
stick to the cutter which may  
affect the cutter quality and  
shorten the cutter life.  
2. Use of tag paper when the  
thickness exceeds the specified  
value may affect the cutter life.

3.1 Cleaning  
3. MAINTENANCE  
This chapter describes how to perform routine maintenance.  
WARNING!  
To ensure the continuous high quality operation of your printer, you  
should perform a regular maintenance routine. For high throughput it  
should be done on a daily basis. For low throughput it should be done on  
a weekly basis.  
1. Be sure to turn OFF the  
power before performing  
maintenance. Failure to  
do this may cause an  
electric shock.  
2. To avoid injury, be careful  
not to pinch your fingers  
while opening or closing  
the cover and print head  
block.  
3. Be careful when handling  
the print head as it  
becomes very hot  
immediately after printing.  
Allow it to cool before  
performing any  
maintenance.  
4. Do not pour water directly  
onto the printer.  
3.1 Cleaning  
To maintain the printer performance and print quality, please clean the  
printer regularly, or whenever the media is replaced.  
3.1.1 Print Head  
CAUTION!  
1. Turn the power off.  
2. Open the Top Cover.  
3. Remove the media.  
1. Do not allow any hard  
objects to touch the print  
head or platen, as this may  
cause damage to them.  
2. Do not use any volatile  
solvents including thinner  
and benzene, as this may  
cause discoloration of the  
cover, print failure, or  
4. Clean the Print Head Element with a Print Head Cleaner, cotton swab  
or soft cloth slightly moistened with ethyl alcohol.

3.2 Care/Handling of the  
Media  
Do not store media for longer than the manufacturer’s recommended  
shelf life  
Store media rolls on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved  
sides as this might flatten that side causing erratic media advance and  
poor print quality.  
CAUTION!  
Be sure to carefully review and  
understand the Supply  
Manual. Use only media  
which meets specified  
Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening.  
Unprotected media can get dirty and the extra abrasion from the dust  
and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.  
requirements. Use of non-  
specified media may shorten  
the head life and result in  
problems with bar code  
readability or print quality. All  
media should be handled with  
care to avoid any damage to  
the media or printer. Read the  
guideline in this section  
carefully.  
Store the media in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be  
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, dust or  
gas.  
The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have  
specifications which exceed Ca2+, K+, Na+ 800 ppm, and Cl- 600 ppm.  
Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which  
shorten the print head’s product life. Do not use labels pre-printed  
with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium  
(CaCO3) and kaolin (Al2O3, 2SiO2, 2H2O).  
For further information, please contact your local distributor or your  
media manufacturer.

GLOSSARIES  
GLOSSARIES  
Bar code  
Label  
A code which represents alphanumeric characters  
by using a series of black and white stripes in  
different widths. Bar codes are used in various  
industrial fields: Manufacturing, Hospitals,  
Libraries, Retail, Transportation, Warehousing, etc.  
Reading bar codes is a fast and accurate means of  
capturing data while keyboard entry tends to be  
slow and inaccurate.  
A type of media with adhesive backing supplied on  
a backing paper.  
Media  
Material on which images are printed by the  
printer. Label, tag paper, fanfold paper, perforated  
paper, etc.  
Printer driver  
Batch mode  
Issue mode that continuously prints media until the  
required number has been printed.  
A software program that will convert the  
application program’s printing request into the  
language that the printer understands.  
Black mark  
Print head element  
A mark printed on the media enabling the printer to  
detect the correct start position of the media,  
helping to maintain constant print position.  
The thermal print head consists of a single line of  
tiny resistive elements which when current is  
allowed to flow through them it heats up causing a  
small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a  
small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal  
ribbon to ordinary paper.  
Black mark sensor  
A reflective sensor that detects the difference  
between a black mark and the print area to find the  
print start position.  
Printing speed  
The speed at which printing occurs. This speed is  
expressed in units of IPS (inches per second).
