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.
