5. Close the front cover.
* When the front cover is closed, the
paper initialization process will be carried out
except in the case when the printer is
turned on after paper setting
(in that case, paper initialization is not carried out).
During the paper initialization process, outside of roll paper with dust or finger prints is
removed by outputting 4 sheets of non printed paper.
*There is an IC chip built into the ink ribbon to facilitate media color correction, media type
detection, and print count management. We cannot guarantee proper function of the printer if
media with other than the certified IC chip is used. (If the correct data cannot be read from the
IC chip, a warning beep will sound. In this case, to protect the printer, print with a lower
density.)
*Each IC chip holds data for its own ribbon, so please do not connect the uptake roll or supply roll
of initially separate ink ribbons.
If different types of media like 2L-Size and Post Card or others are used in the same printer,
quality problems in the printed image will arise.
So as a rule, please do not use different types of media in the same printer.
But if for some reason different types of media must be used, first turn the printer off, take ou
the old media, and turn the printer on again before setting the new media.
* This way, when the front cover is closed, the paper initialization process will be carried out,
unless the printer is turned on after setting of the new media, in which case initializatio
won’t take place.

Note: If the filter is washed using water, make sure the filter is thoroughly dried before
replacing it. Remaining water could cause the printer to malfunction.
4. Reset the filter in the opposite order from removing it. Push the filter cover until it clicks into
place.
- It’s important to keep the filter clean.
- If the filter is blocked or clogged, the temperature inside the printer will rise, and the thermal
head will overheat.
- If the thermal head overheats, the printer will stop, and the error LED will blink. In this
case, the printer will resume printing automatically after the temperature of the thermal head
drops enough for printing.
- A similar situation may occur when the print head is overheated by continuous high power
