Printing under low temperature environment or printing at a high print rate might cause unclear
7

printing or generate loud sound. This is not a failure in the printer but an inherent paper
phenomenon.
◆

Continuous printing with a high print rate might cause temporarily stop printing by temperaturedetection of the printer. Printing resumes when the printer's temperature cools down. When thiserror occurs and "Data Discard Selection When Error Occurs" in the Function Settings is "Enable",the print data transmitted when an error occurs is discarded.

◆

In low temperature, the usable operating time of the printer may be shortened due to thecharacteristics of the battery pack.

◆

The indicator of battery remaining capacity shown in the POWER LED is for reference. The battery
level may be significantly changed depending on the printer operation, so charge the battery packbefore the battery becomes low.

◆

The battery pack should be charged at 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

◆

The charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the voltage level of the battery pack.
Normally, when using the printer or the battery charger "PWC-A071-A1", it takes about 4 hours tocomplete charging after running down the battery pack. When using the quad battery charger"PWC-A074-A1", it takes about 5 hours.

◆

The battery pack, the AC adapter and the car charger may get a little hot when in use. This isnormal and not a malfunction.

◆

◆

If the printer is dropped with the carrying case using, close the paper cover again before using it.
The paper cover may be open in the carrying case.

Precautions for Wireless communication◆

When using the Bluetooth interface, the communication may become unstable due to the influence
from external radio waves. This is based on Bluetooth specification which is a wirelesscommunication standard.

◆

The Bluetooth model operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The Wireless LAN model using
IEEE802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and IEEE802.11a/n operates in the 5
GHz frequency range. So if these models are used around other wireless LAN or any equipmentusing the same frequency range such as a microwave oven, radio frequency interference may
occur, and the communication may become unstable. When it happens, turn off the interfering
equipment or increase the distance. Alternatively, shorten the distance between the host device
and the printer as much as possible.

◆

When operating the Wireless LAN model using IEEE 802.11a/n, the printer may stop
communication temporarily before outputting radio wave to the target channel not to affect theweather radar, air traffic control radar or others. This is to monitor the presence of radar waves for acertain time. If the printer detects radio waves such as radar during operation, it may switch toanother channel.

Precautions for maintenance◆

Clean the products' cases using a soft and lint-free cloth. DO NOT use alcohol or other solvent.

◆Before using, clean the terminals using a dry, soft, and lint-free cloth when they are dirty. If theterminals are dirty, it may cause contact failure.

◆

When cleaning the thermal head, always wipe it with a cotton swab or other soft material.

◆

If the carrying case becomes dirty, clean it by a cloth which is moistened with water and wrung out
strongly.

Precautions for storing◆

Turn off the printer when not in use.
In addition, when the printer is not used for a long time,• Remove the battery pack from the printer. If not, it will cause overdischarge, and the battery
pack will not be usable even after it is charged.
• Unplug the AC plug from the outlet.
• Set thermal paper to protect the platen.

◆

When the printer is not used for a long time, store the battery pack in a cool place. Avoid long-term
storage in a fully charged state as much as possible because it may shorten the life span of thebattery pack.
9 Thermal Paper Handling◆Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry, and dark place.

◆

DO NOT rub the thermal paper with hard objects.

◆

DO NOT leave the thermal paper near organic solvents.

◆

DO NOT allow PVC film, erasers, or adhesive tape to touch the thermal paper for long periods.

◆

DO NOT stack the thermal paper with diazo copies immediately after copying.

◆

Use the thermal paper whose maximum external diameter is φ51 mm or less.
Use the paper roll whose maximum width is equal or less than +0.5 mm including winding deviation.
Ask your SII sales representative when there are any questions about the mark specifications, or the gap specifications forthe label.
Printing under low temperature environment (0°C / 32°F or lower) might cause unclear printing. When using under low
temperature environment, select "Quality 1" at Print Quality Selection (MS2-3 to 4) of Function Settings as necessary.
For the Function Settings method, see "12. FUNCTION SETTING", and for the setting contents list of the memory switch,see "24. MS SETTINGS LIST".
Printing under a low temperature (0°C (32°F) or lower) environment might cause deterioration of the adhesive strength of thelabel. Confirm with the label in advance.
This is the model number of the top paper used for the label. The printing quality may not be fulfilled depending on the typeof release paper used for label processing. Confirm the printing quality in advance using the label-processed paper.

When using different thermal paper from the one specified, the printing quality or specified life of thethermal head would not be guaranteed.
