Paper

Loading Paper in the
Use only Sony UPP-210SE/210HD/UPT-210BL paper designed for use with this unit. High print quality cannot be guaranteed if any other paper is used with this unit, and such paper could damage the unit.

Paper You Can Use

Print paper characteristics are as follows.
Print Characteristics Paper Type
TYPE I (Normal) UPP-210SE
TYPE II (High Density) UPP-210HD
TYPE III (Thermal film) UPT-210BL
Note
The UP-970AD model cannot use UPT-210BL.
Notes on storing and handling paper
Storing unused paper
• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or
allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.
Loading paper
• Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid
touching the printing surface with your fingers. Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause pictures to blur.
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the
paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.) before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could spoil a picture.
Storing printouts
• To prevent printouts from fading or changing color,
store them in a cool, dry location where the temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).
• Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between
sheets of paper that contain no plastic.
• Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to
direct sunlight or high humidity.
• Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the
prints to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.
• To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a
diazo copy sheet.
• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use
double-sides tape or a water base adhesive.
• Do not incinerate waste printer paper.
Unit
Notes
• Do not touch the print surface of thermal printing paper when loading paper. The fingerprints, perspiration and creases that may result will lower the print quality.
• Use only UPP-210 series or UPT-210BL printing paper (page 9).
• Make the menu settings required by the loaded paper type (page 17, 30).

Precautions

On Safety

• Check the operating voltage before operation. Operate the unit only with a power source specified in “Specifications”.
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Connect the power plug of the unit to a wall outlet with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth should be properly established.
Caution on the paper cutter
A paper cutter is mounted with the UP-970AD. When loading a paper or cleaning the UP-970AD, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause injury.

On the Printer Carriage

Do not carry or move the unit when the paper roll is placed in the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Ventilation holes (intake)
Ventilation holes (exhaust)
• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the unit. In such cases the unit will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.
Others

On Installation

• Place the unit on a level and stable surface. If you use the unit with placed on an uneven surface, malfunction of the unit is likely to occur.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources. Avoid locations near radiators or air ducts, or places subject to direct sunlight or excessive dust, humidity, mechanical shock or vibration.
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent heat build­up. Do not place the unit on surfaces such as rugs, blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and draperies.
• To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room around the printer for air to circulate through the ventilation holes (intake) on the left hand side and the ventilation holes (exhaust) on the rear of the cabinet.
Precautions
