but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and
safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,
or if it is damaged in any way -- switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your
dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

CAUTIONS
ABOUT THERMAL HEADS
· The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located
within the unit. The heads can become extremely
warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not
touch the thermal heads.
· When the printer is used for extended periods, the
thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR
heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print
quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a
decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may
need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If condensation occurs inside the printer, it may adhere
to print paper during printing, causing poor quality
prints and paper jams. If you think condensation may
exist within the unit, let the unit sit for at least 2 hours
(with the power on) to dry sufficiently. If paper is stuck
within the unit, remove it before turning the power on.
Unused print paper subjected to moisture should not
be used for printing.
· Condensation may occur in the following situations:
1) In a room when the heater suddenly comes on;
2) In the direct path of cool air from an air
conditioner;
3) When the unit is moved from a cool place to a
warm place.
DUST
Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to
extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of
colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.
Failure to heed the following precautions may
result in damage to the printer.
1. DO NOT place the printer . . .
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures
or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields
are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to
vibration.
2. DO NOT block the printer's ventilation openings.
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of
the printer.
5. AVOID violent shocks to the printer during
transport.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC
could void user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you
drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use
you notice that the cabinet is
damaged, shut the printer
down, unplug it and contact
your JVC dealer. Use of the
printer under these
conditions can lead to fire or
electric shock.
DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer's
power cord, or leave the cord near any heat-
generating appliance, as this can damage the cord.
Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power
cord. If the power cord
becomes cut or otherwise
damaged, contact your JVC
dealer. When unplugging the
printer, DO NOT pull on the
cord. Hold the plug itself and
remove it from the AC outlet.
Use of the printer with a
damaged power cord can
lead to fire, electric shock
and unit malfunctions.
DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or
modify the printer. There are high-voltage
components within the unit,
and the risk of electric shock
and unit malfunctions exists.
If a problem occurs, contact
your JVC dealer.
