Restriction of Use

When this product is used for applications requiring high reliability/safety, such as transportation devices related to aviation, rail, marine, automotive, etc.; disaster prevention devices; various safety devices, etc.; or functional/precision devices, etc.; you should use this product only after giving consideration to including fail-safes and redundancies into your design to maintain safety and total system reliability. Because this product was not intended for use in applications requiring extremely high reliability/safety, such as aerospace equipment, main communication equipment, nuclear power control equipment, or medical equipment related to direct medical care, etc., please make your own judgment on this product's suitability after a full evaluation.

Notes on Use

☐ The printer does not operate with only the AC adapter. Always install the enclosed battery OT-BY60II in the printer even when using the AC adapter.
☐ Be sure to use the power switch to turn the printer on and off.
☐ To communicate with a computer via a USB cable, connect the cable before turning on the printer.
☐ To use the USB cable, it is recommended to secure it to avoid stress on it.
☐ Be sure not to open the roll paper cover when the printer is operating.
☐ Protect the printer from impact.
☐ Do not apply excessive force to the printer case.
☐ Do not place food or beverages such as coffee on the case of the printer.
☐ For Bluetooth interface models, when the wireless connection is ended while the printer is offline, reconnection may not be possible. In such case, remove the cause of offline and reconnect it.
☐ For Bluetooth interface models, if you establish a radio connection between the host computer and the printer each time you start printing instead of maintaining the connection, it may take a while between the time you send a print job and the time that the printer actually starts printing. This happens because connecting the host computer and the printer requires some time. The time required for connection depends on the operating environment.

Troubleshooting

No lights on the control panel

Check that the battery is installed.

ERROR LED is flashing or on

☐ The printer temperature may be too high. The printer resumes printing automatically when the temperature returns to normal.
☐ Make sure that the roll paper cover is properly closed.
☐ Make sure that roll paper is installed.
☐ When the printer power is on, if the Error LED and the Charge LED are on, the remaining battery charge is not enough for printer operation. The battery must be fully charged.
☐ When the battery is being charged, if the Error LED is on, an abnormality has

occurred. The battery must be replaced with a new one.

☐ Turn off the power, wait several seconds, and then turn it on again. If the error remains, contact a qualified service person.

Cleaning the Thermal Head

CAUTION:

After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it and to let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object.

Turn off the printer, open the paper roll cover, and clean the thermal elements of the thermal head (G 17) with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA).

Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to maintain print quality.

Note: For the battery specifications, see its User's Manual.
