Making Printouts
This section explains the basic printing operation in the auto scan mode. In this
mode, the printer automatically sets the print area according to the type of the input
signal. As a result, the best possible printouts can be obtained simply by pressing
the PRINT button or COPY button.
The printer provides the following two print modes.
• Single picture mode
A full-size image is printed on one page.
• Multi picture mode
Multiple reduced-images are printed on one page.
Printing a Picture on One Page - Single Picture Mode
Before making a full-size printout
• Are the connections correct? (page 73)
• Is the auto scan mode set to ON? (page 87)
• Is the auto cut mode set to ON? (page 86)
You can set the desired amount of the paper to be fed in the auto feed mode
(page 80).
• Is the paper roll or film loaded properly? (page 58)
• Is the paper type set correctly? (page 76)
• Is the printer set to import one image into its memory (single picture mode)?

• In the auto cut mode, remove the paper immediately after printing is completed.
If the cut paper covers the paper outlet, jamming may occur.
To make multiple copies of identical printouts
You can make up to 10 identical printouts.
Set the desired number of copies on the PRINT QTY sub menu of the PRINTER
main menu. (See page 83.)
The printer makes the chosen number of identical printouts when the PRINT button
is pressed.
To copy the last printout again
The image of the last printout is retained in the printer’s memory until you press the
PRINT button again or turn the power off.
You can make printouts of this image as many times as you like by pressing the
COPY button.
If you require multiple copies, set the desired number on the PRINT QTY sub
menu and press the COPY button.
To interrupt printing
Press one of the FEED, the CUT or the OPEN/CLOSE button while printing or
while copying. The printer stops printing.
To stop printing and print another picture displayed on the video
monitor
To do this, the INTERRUPT of the INTERRUPT sub menu of the PRINTER main
menu must be set to ON. (See page 84.)
Press the PRINT button while printing or copying. The printer stops printing,
captures the image displayed at the instant you press the PRINT button, and starts
printing the new image.
Note
If you press the COPY button immediately after turning the power on, an alarm
buzzer will sound as nothing is stored in the memory.
62
Operation
If the printout image is blurred
A rapidly moving image may be blurred when printed. Should this occur, change
MEMORY to FIELD on the MEMORY sub menu of the PICTURE main menu.

If the brightness and/or contrast of printouts is unsatisfied
You can adjust the brightness and contrast of printouts using the BRIGHTNESS
sub menu and the CONTRAST sub menu.
Pressing the BRIGHT button on the sub panel results in accessing the
BRIGHTNESS sub menu easily. (See page 78.)
Pressing the CONTRAST button on the sub panel results in accessing the
CONTRAST sub menu easily. (See page 78.)
Remotely controlling the printer
You can remotely control the printer using the RM-91 remote control unit or the
FS-20 foot switch.
Since the button on the remote control unit or foot switch functions exactly same as
the PRINT button, pressing either of them results in an image being captured and
immediately printed in single picture mode.
If INTERRUPT is set to ON on the INTERRUPT sub menu of the PRINTER main
menu (see page 84), pressing the switch on the remote control unit or foot switch
during printing causes the printer to stop, capture the image now displayed and
start printing of new image.

Precautions
On the safety
• Check the operating voltage before operation.
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid objects fall into the cabinet.
• Unplug the unit from a wall outlet if you will not be using it for a long time.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Keep fingers clear of the door panel when the the door panel is closing.
• Connect the power plug of the printer to a wall outlet that is safely grounded.
On operation
Do not turn the power off while the printer is printing. The thermal head may be
damaged.
Operate the unit only with a power source specified in the “Specifications”.
Unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel.
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
On printer carriage
On installation
Do not carry or move the printer when a paper roll is being placed in the printer;
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• Place the printer on a level and stable surface during operation.
• Do not install the printer near heat sources. Avoid locations near radiators or air
ducts. Also, do not place subject to direct sunlight or excessive dust, humidity,
mechanical shock or vibration.
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent heat buildup. Do not place the printer
on surfaces such as rugs, blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and
draperies.
• If the printer 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 printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation
forms, turn off the power and allow the printer to stand for at least one hour.

Maintenance
Cleaning the cabinet
Do not use strong solvents to clean the printer. Thinner or abrasive cleansers will
damage the cabinet.
Cleaning the thermal head
If the printout is dirty or white stripes appear on the printouts, clean the thermal
head using the supplied cleaning sheet.
If the horizontal stripes appear on the printouts when the UPT-210BL is used, clean
the thermal head.
Also, when the UPT-210BL is used for a long time, the vertical stripes may appear
on the printouts. This results in low density printouts. In such case, clean the
thermal head.

Troubleshooting
The following troubleshooting checks will help you correct the most common problems you may encounter
with your printer. Before proceeding with these trouble check, first check that the power cord is firmly
connected. should the problem persist, unplug the printer and contact your Sony dealer or local authorized
Sony service facility.
Symptom
White specks on first
few printouts.
Printing does not start
when you press the
PRINT or COPY button.
Black borders or missing
portions around the
printout.
Paper jam
Printout is dirty.
Horizontal stripes appear on
the printouts when the UPT210BL is used.
Vertical stripes appear and
printout density becomes
low when the UPT-210BL is
used.
The printer stops printing
when it prints continuously
black images.
White lines or small
letters on the screen
are not printed clearly.
Small squares appear
over the whole screen.
The printout is too dark
or too light.
The printout seems
stretched.
Cause/remedy
When printing with a newly inserted roll of paper, dust on the surface of the paper may
cause white specks on the printouts.
n Feed the paper by pressing the FEED button until clean paper appears, then cut by
pressing the CUT button. (page 60)
• Paper does not feed.
n Is the paper slack?
n Is the power turned on?
n Are all connections correct? (page 73)
n If the unit is in the multi picture mode, press the COPY button for printing. (page 67)
• When the alarm buzzer sounds:
n Has the thermal head overheated? (page 100)
n Is the signal of the picture input?
n Is the paper loaded correctly? (page 58)
• Paper feeds, but printing does not start.
n Is the paper loaded with the thermo-sensitive side up? (page 59)
This may result according to the video signal input to the printer.
n Adjust the printout size. (page 88)
• Open the door panel by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button, then slowly pull out the
jammed paper and remove it.
• There is condensation within the unit.
n Moving the unit suddenly from a cold place to a warm place often results in
condensation forming. In the event of condensation forming, remove the paper, turn
off the power and leave the unit for about one to two hours.
