NOTICE Never install this unit in any of the following situations, as it could result in damage:
• Do not install the unit on an unstable surface.
• Places with excessive electrical noise.
• Places with excessive humidity or dust.
• The unit and AC adapter become hot during use. Avoid installation in an are a with poor heat-radiating
characteristics (poor ventilation).
• Avoid subjecting the unit to severe vibration or shocks.
• Places exposed to strong illumination or direct sunlight.

Do not strike the mirror. Doing so may damage the mirror, resulting in incorrect operation.

Be sure to connect the sensor cable securely so that it does not come loose or cause a poor connection during
use. Failure to connect securely may cause faulty operation or breakdown.
Be sure to switch off the power to the TU-60/70 before connecting the sensor cable.

Before affixing the cable retainer, make sure the surface where the retainer is to be attached is clean and free of
dust or grime.

6. Operating Conditions for the TU-60/70

The TU-60/70 takes up material fed from the CJ/FJ. Performing an operation to pull out material from the CJ/FJ generates corresponding
force, and so the CJ/FJ displays the error message, and operation stops. When performing printing in particular, such a stop in operation
may result in misalignment of the printing location, making the printed item unusable.

8. Starting Operation

Do not allow the hands or hair to

touch the paper tube, flange, or
sheet during take-up.
The hands or hair may become caught.

NOTICE During operation, do not enter the sensor's detection area. Doing so will result in excessive take-up and cause
printing to be interrupted.

When in the manual mode, make sure there is some slack in the material before attempting to perform take-up.

9. Removing Material

Removal of taken-up roll material

from the TU-60/70 is a task which
must be carried out by two or more
persons.
Injury may result if
attempted by one
person without
assistance.

1 Turn off the power. 2 Cut off the piece of material from the roll.

The second person loosens the

4 retaining screws and moves the
arm.

Support the paper tube and material from

5 Detach the paper tube and material from the flanges.

10. Maintenance
NOTICE Be sure to turn off the power to the TU-60/70 before cleaning.

Never attempt to oil or lubricate the mechanism.

Cleaning the Mirror and Sensor

Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Grime on the mirror or sensor may cause material in the sensor's detection area not to be sensed correctly.
