2.3 Printer Precautions
2.3.1 Spur deformation prevention
Do not deform the tips of the spurs.
The spurs come into contact with the paper after printing. As the actual contact
surface is small, any ink adhering to the spurs is minute and wiped off by the spur
cleaners. Therefore any ink on the spurs is not enough to contaminate the paper as it
passes. However, if the spurs become deformed, their contact surface with the paper
increases, causing more ink to adhere to each spur. Since the spur cleaner is unable
to wipe off all the ink, a line of dotted ink may mask the printed paper.

2.3.2 Static electricity damage prevention
The static charge that accumulates in your body from clothing can damage electrical
components. Therefore never touch the electrical contacts of the carriage ribbon cable
and
