7 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.

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. Do not drop the charger or apply a strong shock to it. Use a household AC100-240V power source. Be very careful to keep water, metal etc. out of the inside of the battery pack. Do not use it in the following places. Near a store or place where it is exposed to direct sunlight Very humid places, and places where it would be exposed to oily smoke or steam Place where there is violent vibration or an unstable place If it is used near a radio or similar appliance, it may cause noise. If this happens use it further from the radio etc. If the charger will not be used for a long time, remove its power plug from the power outlet and store it.
7 Precautions when using the specialized RS-232C cable and

USB cable

Warning
When connecting to the printer using a cable, ensure you do cross (short) the pins or contacts of any of the connectors with the metal parts of the cable assembly.
Whilst the printer is protected from external damage as much as possible, there is a danger that excessive static electricity damaging the internal circuits of the printer. Take care to discharge items touching the printer before connection or use. Do not leave the cable wrapped around the product for a long time. If you do, there is danger of breakage and discoloration of the cable.
7 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 25C or less and the humidity is 65% or less.

*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.

Problem Cause Solution Turn on the power. Charge the battery pack.
Printer not operating Printer is not turned on. Battery pack voltage falls. Battery pack is not adequately charged. A foreign object is caught on Paper cannot feed the gear. Error results when Printer is not properly conexecuting print nected to other device with command cable.
Remove the foreign object. Make sure the printer and the device issuing print commands are connected correctly with the RS232C cable, then turn on the power to the printer. Check for jammed paper. Adjust the distance between the two devices so that they are in the range given in the specifications (page 29). Align both ports so that they are directly facing each other.
Cannot print using infrared transmission
Paper is jammed in the printer. Devices are either too close together or too far apart.
Infrared ports are not on axis.
