8. Conditions for Use (1) High-duty printing might cause blurred printing. Use an appropriate duty that does not cause blurs. (2) To print an external character set, a bold font (e.g., Gothic) or bold lines should be selected. If a fine font (e.g., Mincho) or fine lines are selected, the print density might be insufficient. (3) To prevent enlarged or reduced printing due to uneven feeding after cutting paper or stopping printing, the paper must be advanced at least 1 mm (8 dots) be

(11) The use of labels might cause adhesive to stick to parts of the cutter, thermal head, and/or paper holder, causing cutting errors. To help prevent this from occurring, clean these parts at least once a month, or as need, with ethyl alcohol. (12) When changing the type of paper roll, clean the platen with ethyl alcohol before installing the new type to prevent errors such as feed errors. (13) The printer speed must not exceed four transactions (four cutting operations) per minute.
