Precautions to be followed when handling the printer

Warning

• Do not use the printer if it becomes hot, produces smoke or a strange smell, etc. as it could start a fire. Immediately switch off the printer and remove both the AC adaptor and/or battery pack, if installed.

• If any foreign (metal scraps, water, or other fluid) gets inside the printer, immediately switch off the printer and remove both the AC adaptor and/or battery pack, if installed. Then contact your service representative.

Failure to do so could result in fire.

Precaution

• Do not put on an unstable surface as it may fall or topple over causing some injury.

• Do not use it in any of the following locations, otherwise it will malfunction:

– In a car that is exposed to the sun, in any place exposed to direct sunlight, near a heater etc.

– In a place where the temperature and humidity are very high or low or where they fluctuate widely.

– In an extremely dusty place

– In a place exposed to water or other fluid

• Do not drop or hit the printer as doing so will damage it or cause it to malfunction.

• Keep all foreign material out of the printer. This will cause it to malfunction.

• Do not use a volatile fluid (thinner, benzine, etc.) or wet cloth to clean the printer. If you do, it will be degraded or discolored. Clean it with a dry soft cloth.

• During printing or when it is in standby status, do not move, shake or hit the printer. There is a danger that the power will be cut off, losing printing data.

Precautions to be followed when operating the printer

Warning

• Be extremely careful not to touch the print head or serrated tear bar when replacing the paper. After printing, the print head can become hot and there is a danger of it burning your hand. Also, care should be taken when handling the cutter as it might cut your hand.

Precaution

• If you use any paper other than the designated kind, the print quality will fall and the service life of the print head (printing unit) will be reduced.

• Do not perform printing and do not push the paper feed button while there is no paper in the printer. The heat of the print head will deform the platen

(roller) and friction with the platen will damage the print head.

• Do not tap or rub the print head with a sharp or hard object.

• If moisture has condensed on the print head, be sure to wait until it is completely dry before performing printing. If you print while the print head is moist, there is a danger of damage to the print head.

Precautions when using the battery pack

Danger

• Do not use any battery pack other than the specified type.

Using a type other than the specified type may cause an explosion.

• Use only the specialized charger.

• Do not take it apart or modify it.

• Do not short circuit the terminals.

• Do not use, charge, or leave the battery pack near fire, out in the hot sun, or in any other hot place.

• Do not place it in a fire.

• Do not hit or drop the battery pack.

Precaution

• After charging, do not repeatedly charge it again. (We recommend that after using it, you remove it from the printer and store it, then charge it the day before you use it again.)

• When you do not plan to use the printer for a long time, remove the battery pack from the printer and store it in fully charged condition.

• When carrying a spare battery pack removed from the printer, always carry it in the protective cover included with the battery pack.

• If the battery pack works for only a short time after it is charged, or if an error occurs even though it is charged, it may have reached the end of its service life.

Buy a new battery pack.

Dispose of an unnecessary battery pack according to rules in the country where you are using it.

• If the terminals of the battery pack are dirty, clean them with a soft cloth.

• The battery pack performs a chemical reaction, so use it considering this characteristic.

– Charge the battery pack where the temperature is in a range from 5°C to

40°C.

– Store it in a dry place where the temperature does not rise. Storing it for a long time in a hot place will shorten its service life and cause serious selfdischarging.

– Because not using it for a long time may cause self-discharging, charge it just before using it.

10

7

Precautions when using the charger (optional)

Precaution

• Do not modify the charger nor remove its cabinet.

• Do not damage or modify the power cord. This may cause a short circuit or accident.

Precautions when using thermal paper (printing paper)

Precaution

When using thermal printing paper, take the following precautions. Thermal printing paper becomes discolored or degenerates, resulting in faint printing.

• Do not put printed paper in bright light for a long period.

• Avoid high temperature, humidity, fluids, and sunlight.

• Do not use glue, adhesive, or adhesive tape containing a volatile organic solvent to retain printed thermal paper by applying it to ground paper.

• When you want to retain the paper for a long time, we recommend that you either use deterioration-resistant type thermal paper or make a copy on a copier and retain the copy.

• Do not keep the paper in contact with a PVC film etc. for a long time.

• Avoid ammonia. Keep it away from paper copied on a copier that uses ammonia.

• Do not let perspiration on your hands or oil touch the printed surface of thermal printing paper (surface to be printed or surface that has been printed).

• When the thermal printing paper will be stored, store it in a dark place where the average temperature is 25°C or less and the humidity is 65% or less.

7

Precautions when installing the printing paper

Precaution

• Begin printing only after you have made sure that the printing paper is straight where it is ejected from the printing (thermal) head. If it is not straight, the paper will jam.

• To prevent the paper from being bent as it is fed into the printer, make sure that the front end of the paper is as shown below.

The initial setting (when shipped from factory) is infrared interface (IrDA mode). If it is a

Bluetooth version printer, the default setting is set to Bluetooth.

Connecting the accessory specialized RS-232C cable and turning on the printer power automatically changes it to a serial interface. (If “valid” is selected with “Cable IF auto detection”, it changes. But it is invalid if the cable is inserted while power is supplied to the printer.)

Change the settings in Interface Selection Mode to reset the interface according to the

utilization environment. (see page 43)

When using each interface, it is necessary to install a driver in or to program the device that is connected to the printer.

Connecting the printer to a PC or other communication device

Connecting with the Infrared Interface

Direct the printer’s infrared port directly towards the infrared port of the device to be linked.

• Data may not be received correctly when transmitted in direct sunlight, under fluorescent lamps, and in other areas with strong light.

• Data may not be received correctly after the printer has been left for an extended period in temperatures outside the recommended storage temperature range.

• Transmission distance varies according to the device used and the surrounding conditions, so it may be impossible to establish a connection within the connection range provided in the specifications. There are devices that cannot be connected within 10 cm (0.33 feet) of the light receiver.

• A communication error may occur if it is used connected to another infrared device.

• Transmission can be achieved within a 15° angle horizontally and vertically up to a distance of 20 cm (0.66 feet).

• Confirm that there are no obstacles in the space between the printer and the device to be connected. Data cannot be transmitted correctly if any obstructions are present in this space.

Printer Settings

Setting the Modes

*1: Image generation speed

If the image generation speed is set to "Fast", printing is performed faster than when it is set to "Normal."

But when it has been set to "Fast", following restrictions apply.

1) When the page mode is designated, the "DEL" code function cannot be used.

2) The both end justification function of the justification tab command "ESC a" cannot be used.

3) When the horizontal tab command "HT" and the justification tab command "ESC a" have been used simultaneously, the horizontal tab command "HT" function cannot be used.

4) When the absolute position setting command "ESC$" and the justification tab command "ESC a" have been used simultaneously, the absolute position setting command "ESC $" function cannot be used.

Please refer to the "PD-24 Command Reference" for details pertaining to each command. For information on how to obtain the Command Reference, please ask the supplier where you purchased the product.

*2: Link off

Function that cancels auto power off, during infrared linking

When IrDA is set, if the OS is Windows, the host PC performs a search (BroadCast) to clarify if there is or is not an infrared device of some kind within the infrared communication range and a list of the devices is displayed on the screen.

When the printer is powered by batteries, there may be no response and the names may disappear from the PC screen because the power turns off during the period set by the power saving time setting.

If this setting is valid, Auto Power Off stops functioning and the host PC no longer overlooks the printer.

*3: Bluetooth mode

The connected device side may request validation. In such a case, set Bluetooth mode to BOND from

Menu setting mode (see page 35), to perform validation. During this operation, the entry of the PIN code

on the printer side is requested. The PIN code is allotted the lowest four columns of the BD address. If Self

printing is performed (see page 33), the BD address is printed, so refer to it to make the entry.

*4: BOND history deletion

When bonding has been done by Bluetooth, one BOND history is usually stored inside. A device formerly bonded based on this history can be connected without a PIN code.

If this setting is set to valid, the histories stored inside can be erased and a new device connected.

The printer operates as follows.

1) “Valid” in the “Bond history deletion” menu is set and the VuePrint menu is closed. Then printer power cuts off.

2) When power has been reconnected, the printer forcibly enters BOND history deletion mode and

BOND history is erased. Next printer power is automatically cut off.

3) When the power is turned on again, the BOND history deletion setting returns to its initial setting

“Invalid,” and the printer enters normal mode.

*5: Bluetooth Inquiry

If it is set to “Non-Discoverable, the printer does not respond to normal Inquiry Sca.

*6: Bluetooth pin code (validation code)

Bluetooth pin code can register up to 16 digits.

If it is set to “Default”, the lower 4 digits of the BD address are registered as the validation code.

If it is set to “Optional designation”, the validation code can be registered up to a maximum of 16 digits.

*7: Bluetooth encryption

In this setting, the menu only appears when the Bluetooth pin code is set to “Optional designation”.

If it is set to “Invalid”, Bluetooth pin code (validation coding) can be encoded.

Care and Maintenance

When paper is jammed inside the printer, remove the paper with tweezers etc. Clean dirt and paper powder from the paper feed roller and the printing head with a cotton applicator. If you conscientiously take care of it, you will be able to use it with ease.

• When taking care of it, be careful not to touch the cutter teeth. You may be injured.

• Never bring any hard object in contact with the head. This may result in damage to the unit.

• The print head becomes very hot. Allow the printer to rest for a short to protect yourself from burns.

• If any foreign object gets inside the head or the paper feed gear, it may cause a malfunction.
