Important safety notes
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment.
Please read all instructions before you attempt to operate the system. Save these instructions for
l
future use.
Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. Improper storage and use
l
of aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition that could
result in personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flammable
and always read instructions and safety precautions on the duster label.
Use only the AC Power cord and AC Power adapter with the optional Thermal label printer
l
supplied with your machine and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet that's located near the
printer and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the power adapter can result in severe
personal injury and/or fire.
The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the machine from the AC supply.
l
The unit is on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle, even though the operator display may
be blank.
To obtain supplies, please contact our Supply Line™ to place orders.
l
Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained through the web or from our Supply Line™. Refer to
l
the Contact Information List for more information.
Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in use. Keep hands, loose clothing,
l
jewellery and long hair away from all moving parts.
Do not remove covers or defeat safety interlock switches. Covers enclose hazardous parts that
l
should only be accessed by properly trained service personnel. Immediately report to service any
damaged or non-functioning components that renders the unit unsafe.
Place the unit in an accessible location to allow for proper venting of the equipment and to facilitate
l
servicing.
Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
l
Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
l
Place the printer so the AC power adapter is close to an easily accessible wall out let. DO NOT use
l
a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch or one that is shared with other equipment.
DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces of furniture. Make sure
l
there is no strain on the power cord.
DO NOT route the DC power cord that plugs into the printer over sharp edges or trap it between
l
pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on the DC power cord.
Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the AC adapter is plugged is free from
l
obstruction.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove covers or disassemble the
l
control panel or its base. The cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or otherwise
damage the unit, call Pitney Bowes.
