For the safe operation of your printer, please read the following important operation and safety instructions carefully. Failure to observe

these precautions can result in personal injury or property damage or, in extreme situation, serious injury or death.

1. Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, thinner, trichloroethylene, benzine,

ketone or similar chemicals. Instead use a damp cloth for cleaning, when the printer is disconnected from the mains supply.

4. Do not use this product near water or where a chemical reaction can occur such as in a laboratory or where there is a lot of oil, dust,

salt or iron particles.

5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product and

people around it.

6. Slots and openings on the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation.

7. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, do not block or cover these openings. The openings

should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near

or over a radiator or heat source. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

8. This product should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

9. This product is equipped with a three-pronged plug, a plug having a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type

power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be walked on. Do not pull on the

power cord or data cables or keep them under tension.

11. If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the

extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall

outlet does not exceed 7.5 amperes for 220/240V outlet and 15 amperes for a 120V outlet.

12. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts

that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

13. Except as explained elsewhere in this manual, donít attempt to service or disassemble this product yourself. Opening and removing

those covers that are marked ìDo Not Removeî may expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing on

those compartments to service personnel.

14. The mains plug on this equipment must be used to disconnect mains power. Please ensure that the socket outlet is installed near the

equipment and shall be easily accessible.

15. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid, aerosol chemicals or other chemicals have been spilled into the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water or excessive humidity.

d. If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered

by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work

by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or knocked or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

16. Discard or safely store the plastic packing bag. This bag should be kept away from children. If the bag is pulled over childís head, it

may cause suffocation.

17. Make sure if you open the top cover, it is opened all the way. If only partially open, the cover could slam shut, possibly causing injury.

18. When the cover is open, be careful of the corners of cover. They could cause injury.

19. Do not open the printer during printing.

20. Operate the control panel properly. A careless, rough handling may cause problems or malfunction. Do not use such sharp-edged

tool as a ballpoint for operation.

21. If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

22. The contents of this manual may be changed without prior notice.

23. Reproduction, transfer, or transmission of the contents of this manual without prior consent is strictly prohibited.

Congratulations....

On your choice of a Citizen label printer.

Please take a moment to read this Quick Start Guide which will familiarise yourself with the

printer and its operation. The printer is a sophisticated but easy-to-use label printer featuring

simple media loading and quick connection together with a powerful VuePrint menu

configuration system.

We will guide you through unpacking of the printer from its carton, connection to your

computer system and installation of the media including a quick self-test of the printer to

ensure it is working.

Safety

But if you have not done so already, please carefully read the safety instructions included at

the beginning of this Quick Start Guide and in more detail on the user manual included on

the CD-ROM. Failure to observe the safety precautions could cause serious injury or damage

to both you and your property.

Unpacking Your Printer

a. Carefully unpack your new printer and ensure all the items shown on the adjacent picture

are present in your printerís carton. In some cases, your supplier or Citizen may have

added extra items required for your particular installation such as additional CD-ROM,

cable or manuals. Instructions for each of these items will be included within the individual

packages.

b. If you have any questions, or if you find any of the items are missing, please initially refer

back to your supplier. Otherwise, contact details for Citizenís regional offices are shown

on the back page of this Quick Start Guide.

c. The printer is shipped with adhesive tape in place to hold the top cover closed. Simply

remove the two pieces of tape on either side of the top cover. Then simply open the cover

by lifting up and tipping it backwards.

d. There is another strip of adhesive tape that must be removed which holds the mechanism

closed for shipping. Remove the tape and attached paper by carefully peeling from the

plastic case. A further piece of packing paper is inside the mechanism and you can

remove this when the head is opened as explained later in this manual.

Connection to Power

a. Check that the power switch to the printer is turned OFF.

b. Connect the connector of the power cord to the power cord inlet on the printer.

c. Insert the plug of the power cord in the AC outlet.

Connection

Connection to a Computer

This product has three interfaces that can be used to receive printing data: a serial port

(RS232C), parallel port (IEEE1284, Non-L. P. S.), and a USB port (USB1.1). An optional

internal Ethernet (LAN) or Wireless LAN port can be added by your dealer. If the optional

Ethernet or wireless LAN port is used, the standard parallel port is removed from the printer,

so the parallel interface cannot be used.

With the exception of a wireless LAN connection, an interface cable is necessary to connect

the printer to a computer. To connect the cable, proceed as follows:

a. Turn OFF the power switches of both the printer and the computer.

b. Connect one end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the back of the

printer and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.

c. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the computer

and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.

Safety Instructions - which must be strictly observed

Use an AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug.

Otherwise, static electricity may be generated and there

will be danger of electric shock.
