Operation
Before Printing
Once the printer is connected to the computer (page 7),
before you can actually begin printing you must load the
paper and the ink ribbon as described below.
Notes on Handling the Ink Ribbon and Paper
Operation
Compatible ink ribbon and paper
• Be sure to use only ink ribbon and paper that is intended
specifically for use with this printer.
• Always use the ink ribbon and paper provided in the
same package together. Each printing pack contains two
ink ribbons rolls and two paper rolls.
• For details on the ink ribbon and paper that can be used
in this printer, see “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 19.
Handling paper rolls
• Place the paper roll vertically on the stable place, when
opening the wrapping. If you open the wrapping holding
it with hands or placing it horizontally, you may drop it.
Dropping may result in an injury.
• Be sure not to open the wrapping with a knife such as a
cutter. This may damage a paper roll and ink ribbon and
you may not be able to use them for printing.
• Whenever you set down a paper roll, place it standing on
its end as show in the figure below. If you place it on its
side, it could roll of the surface and fall, possibly causing
personal injury.
• Always hold a paper roll securely with two hands.
Dropping a paper roll could cause personal injury. Any
dust on the printing surface will result in poor printout
quality.
Handling the ink ribbon
• Do not separate the two spools of the ink ribbon before
loading it in the printer.
• An IC board is built into one of the spools. Do not touch
the terminals of the IC board, and do not allow them to
come into contact with metal objects, etc. Furthermore,
do not strike, bend or drop the ink ribbon; doing so could
make the ink ribbon unusable.
IC board
• Do not attempt to re-use a used ink ribbon.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon.
• Do not touch the surface of the ink ribbon, and do not
leave it exposed in a dusty location. Fingerprints and
dust on the surface of the ink ribbon can cause smudges
in printed output, and can damage the thermal head.
• Since, like other color dyes, the dyes used in this ink
ribbon may discolor over time, the product will neither
be replaced nor be warranted against any color change.
Notes on storing ink ribbons and paper
• Do not store ink ribbons and paper in locations exposed
to high temperatures, high humidity, dust, or direct
sunlight.
• Do not open the ink ribbon and paper packages until you
are ready to use them.
• If it is necessary to store a partially used ink ribbon or
paper roll for an extended period of time, it is
recommended that they be stored in their original bags.
Hold securely with two hands
