The recommended temperature range is 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F). · Don't let coffee, juice or other liquids splash onto the Label Printer. · Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into the tape outlet slot or printer of the Label Printer. · Do not pile heavy objects on top of the Label Printer. · Never try to take the Label Printer apart or attempt your own maintenance. · Do not drop your Label Printer and avoid strong impact. · Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the Label Printer. · The yellow cutter cartridge inside the Label Printer contains a sharp blade for cutting the printed tape. Keep your fingers away from this cartridge and be especially careful to keep the cartridge away from small children. · Do not operate the cutter lever without a tape cartridge loaded in the Label Printer. Doing so can damage the cutter blade. · Do not apply excessive force to the tape cutter lever. Doing so can damage the Label Printer. · Do not use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to clean the exterior of the Label Printer. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened in a weak solution of a mild, neutral detergent and water. Wring the cloth out until all excess moisture is removed. · A dirty printer head can cause printing to become smudged. When this happens, clean off the printer head by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol (page 15). · Use of the Label Printer next to a television or radio may interfere with reception.
