Operation

Before Printing

This section describes the following operations that must be made prior to starting printing after mounting the paper tray and paper cover on the printer (see “Assembly” on page 72) and making the necessary connections (see “Connections” on page 74).

• Loading an ink ribbon cartridge (See below.)

• Loading paper (See page 12.)

• Selecting the input signal (See page 14.)

Once the above operations have been completed, there should be no need to repeat them during routine printing. Perform them only when absolutely necessary.

Notes

• You can replace the ink ribbon cartridge or load paper regardless of whether the power is on or off. However, turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.

• Use the ink ribbon and paper contained in the same package as a pair. Before attempting to load an ink ribbon cartridge or paper, make sure that the combination of the ink ribbon and paper is compatible.

• Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use with this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result in malfunctions. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 124.)

Loading an Ink Ribbon Cartridge

To make printouts, an ink ribbon cartridge (an ink ribbon holder which has been loaded with an ink ribbon) and paper must be loaded. Load an ink ribbon into the supplied ink ribbon holder, then load the ink ribbon cartridge into the printer’s ribbon compartment.

Notes

• When you use the printer for the first time, the thermal head may be out of position. Before attempting to use the ink ribbon cartridge, turn on the power so that the thermal head is placed at the correct position.

• When transporting the printer, remove the ink ribbon cartridge.

• Do not throw away the supplied ink ribbon holder even if the ink ribbon is used

up. The ink ribbon holder is reusable even though the ink ribbon is not reusable.

• When you use the UPC-510 Color Printing Pack, 200 sheets of printouts can be printed for one ink ribbon roll. Even if you finish one pack of paper containing 100 sheets, do not throw away the ink ribbon. You can use the ink ribbon for another pack of papers.

• Once an ink ribbon has been completely used up, replace it. An ink ribbon is not reusable.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon for reuse.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon or place it in a dusty location. Finger prints or dust

on the ink ribbon will result in imperfect printing or malfunction of the head.

• Use the ink ribbon and paper supplied only for the initial operation check of the printer.

Operation

Before Printing (Continued)

1 Open the front panel by pulling the front panel top toward you.

2 Remove the ink ribbon cartridge by pressing the EJECT button.

The ink ribbon cartridge pops out. When you use the printer for the first time, this operation is not required.

Note

Never put your hand into the ink ribbon compartment. The thermal head becomes very hot. You may burn yourself if you touch it.

When the ink ribbon cartridge cannot be ejected

Turn the power off, then back on again. Then, after a while, press the EJECT button.

Note

Turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost. In this case, capture the image again before printing.

3 Detach the spent ink ribbon from the ink ribbon holder.

6 Insert the ink ribbon cartridge firmly until it clicks.

Confirm that the ink ribbon cartridge is surely inserted. If the ink ribbon cartridge stops midway, stop inserting it. You may use the wrong ink ribbon holder. Be sure to use the ink ribbon holder that is designed for this printer.

When the ink ribbon cartridge cannot be inserted

Turn the power off, then back on gain. Then, insert the ink ribbon cartridge again.

7 Close the front panel.

Operation

Before Printing (Continued)

Notes

When storing ink ribbon cartridge:

• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject to: — high temperatures — high humidity — excessive dust — direct sunlight

• Store a partially used ink ribbon cartridge in its original packaging.

If your ink ribbon should tear

Repair the tear with transparent tape. There should be no problem with using the remaining portion of the ribbon.

Transparent tape

Turn the spools in the direction of the arrow to remove any slack until the transparent tape cannot be seen.

Loading Paper

To load paper, follow the procedure below. Be careful not to touch the printing surface.

Notes

• You can load paper regardless of whether the power is on or off. However, turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.

• Use the only paper that we recommend. Failing to do so is likely to result in malfunctions such as paper jam. Also, do not use the paper as specified for the UP-5000/5100 and UP-5500 series color video printer. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 124.)

Notes

• The paper tray holds up to about 100 sheets of paper. When adding paper to a partly full tray, be careful that the total number of sheets does not exceed the limit. If you exceed this limit, paper jams may occur.

• Load the paper so that it lays flat in the paper tray. If the paper is curled, it will overflow from the paper tray and the paper may not be fed properly. Be sure to riffle the paper with the protection sheets before attempting to place the paper in the paper tray. If the printing position shifts, load fewer sheets in the paper tray.

• Do not place different types of paper in the tray.
