Notes on Usage
Do not open the cover during printing or when the autocutter is being operated. Do not install the printer in a dusty place. Protect the printer from impact. Cords or other foreign objects must not be caught on the printer. Do not apply excessive force to the printer case. Do not place food or beverages such as coffee on the case of the printer.
Notes on Installation
When using the printer, be sure that the printer is installed horizontally. If you are using a Type B or D printer, you can hang it on a wall, using the optional hanging bracket set, WH-10. Note: To hang the printer on a wall, see the WH-10 Installation Manual for detailed instructions.
Notes on Connecting the Power Supply Unit
Be sure to use the correct power supply unit as listed below:
TM-U220 alphanumeric model (types A, B, and D) TM-U220 multilingual* model (types A, B, and D) "AC adapter, C" (packed with the alphanumeric "PS-180" (packed with the multilingual* model) model) or "PS-180" (option)
Note: The "AC adapter, C," which is packed with the alphanumeric model, cannot be used with the multilingual* model. Be sure to use the "PS-180" with the multilingual* model. If the "AC adapter, C," packed with the alphanumeric model, is connected to the multilingual* model by mistake, the printer might not operate correctly.
