• AC power cord (1)

• Paper trays (2, large/small)

• Paper holder (2)

Cartridge compartment cover

You need an optional printing pack (UPC-X46 or UPCX34) designed for the printer. The pack contains a set of print paper and a print cartridge.

Notes

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper printing result will not be obtained, or even a breakdown may occur.

• Use the printing pack for this printer only.

• Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of the print paper you use. If you mix cartridges and paper of different types or sizes, printing may not be possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.

• Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or breakdown.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the printing surface of the print paper. If there are fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink ribbon, the printing quality may deteriorate.

• For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack in locations that are subject to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

• When storing a partially used pack of the print cartridge and print paper, store it in its original bag or in a similar container.

Inserting the Print Paper

Set the print paper into the tray.

Print paper

Riffle the print paper. Then insert the print paper with its printing surface (the side with no imprint) facing up and the arrow pointing in the same direction as the arrow in the tray. You can set 25 sheets when the UPC-X46 is used, and 30 sheets when the UPC-X34 is used.

Remove the protective sheet on the print paper.

• If print paper does not feed automatically, the lamp lights. Pull out the paper tray and check for a paper jam.

• When adding print paper to a partially full tray, make sure that the total number of sheets does not exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 or 30 for the UPC-X34. Do not place different types or sizes of paper in the tray. Otherwise, a paper jam or malfunction may occur.

• Do not write or type on the printing surface of the paper before printing. You may not be able to proceed with printing. If you want to write greetings or draw on the printed surface after printing, use an oil ink pen.

• Do not attach stickers or anything else on the printing surface before printing.

• Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or breakdown.

• Before printing, do not fold or bend the print paper.

• Do not leave more than five sheets of ejected printed paper

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

The Bluetooth1) wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include computers, computers peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communications system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or if there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encruption.

• When using the Bluetooth function, the distance between the camera and the printer you intend to connect must be within 10 m ( obstacles.

Authentication

What's a passkey

Passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously connected to each other and create a trusted relationship between them. You need to enter the same characters (passkey) to each device on passkey authentication process. This printer uses a 4-digit number as a passkey. Once authentication of the device has been confirmed, the printer registered the device as a record. Since then you can connect the device without entering a passkey. To ensure proper security, the passkey entry has a time limit (30 seconds), based on the Bluetooth standards. The passkey entry may be required when the authentication valid period of the printer o is expired, the record is deleted, or the security setting is changed. Passkey entry may be required, depending on devices, each time you intend to connect. This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey

Precautions

Safety

• Operate the printer using the power source specified in

“Specifications” on page 20.

• This unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as

it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or

dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the printer

with a damaged power cord.

• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time,

disconnect the power cord.

• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the

cord itself.

• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.

• Do not disassemble or convert the unit.

• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric

shock from the internal parts.

• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the

unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the printer

from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the printer with a cloth etc.

• If the printer malfunctions or if a foreign body falls

into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.

Installation

Condensation

• If the printer is subject 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 condensation forms, standby mode one hour.

• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the print cartridge or paper. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout. Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.

• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the printing pack is removed from its package.

and leave the printer to stand for at least

set the printer to

Location

To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room around the printer for air to circulate through the vents on the left hand side of the cabinet.

On transportation

• Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.

• Retain the original carton and packing materials in case you have to transport the unit in the future.

• Avoid placing the printer in a location subject to: – mechanical vibration – high humidity – excessive dust – where it is exposed to rain – direct or excessive sunlight – extremely high or low temperatures – close to sources of strong magnetism – close to sources of powerful electromagnetic

radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

• Do not use other electronic equipment near the printer. It will not work properly in strong electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the printer.

Cleaning

• Before cleaning the printer, press the on/standby button

of the printer so that the lamp goes out, and

unplug the power cord.

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.
