Preparations
Preparing the Printer
Before using the printer for the first time, perform the
following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper
tray. These preparations are not required at every use.
Perform them only when necessary.
Print packs
In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer
(UPC-X46 series, UPC-X45 series, or UPC-X34 series)
(not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting
of print paper and a print cartridge.
Notes
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.
• Only use print packs designed for this printer.
• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that
match in size. Using a print cartridge together with
print paper of a different size may produce incorrect
printing results or cause paper jams and other
problems.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.
• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper
and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid
storing print packs in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or
ink ribbon may lower the print quality.
• When removing partially used print cartridges and
print paper from the printer for storage, store them in
their original packaging.
To load the print cartridge
1
Press the upper portion of the print cartridge cover
where PUSH OPEN is written to open it.

Cartridge release lever
The cartridge is released, allowing you to pull it out.
3

4
Press the EXEC button.
Notes
• Never put your hand into the cartridge slot as the
inside can reach high temperatures.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.
• If the print cartridge does not insert properly, remove
it once before reinserting it. If the ink ribbon is too
slack to be loaded, remove the slack by winding the
ink ribbon in the direction of the arrow while pressing
the spool. This is the only time the ink ribbon should
be wound.
Notes on storage
• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.
• When removing a partially used print cartridge for
storage, store it in its original packaging.
To load the print paper
1
Load the print paper into the paper tray.
Print paper
Riffle through the print paper before loading it with
the printing surface (the side without imprinting)
facing up. Make sure that the arrow on the paper is
pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the
tray. You can load up to 25 sheets when using the
UPC-X46 or UPC-X45 series and 30 sheets when
using the UPC-X34 series.

Note
Be sure to keep the protective sheet as it is used
when cleaning the inside of the printer.
3
Insert the paper tray into the printer until it clicks
into place.
Note
Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or
dust on the printing surface may lower the print
quality.
Notes on loading the print paper
• Load UPC-X46 series print paper into the large paper
tray and UPC-X34 series print paper into the small
paper tray. The paper tray for UPC-X45 series print
paper (UPA-DX100TR) is not supplied. Mismatch
between the paper and tray sizes may result in a paper
jam.
• Do not remove or insert the paper tray while printing
is in progress.
• If the print paper does not feed automatically, the
lamp lights and a message displays. Pull out the
paper tray, and check for a paper jam.
• When loading additional print paper into the tray,
make sure that the total number of sheets does not
exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 and UPC-X45 series or 30
for the UPC-X34 series. Do not load different types of
paper in the tray together. Doing so may result in a
paper jam.
• Do not write or print text on the print paper before
printing. The printer may not be able to print on paper
that has been written on. When writing on an image
after printing, use an oil-based ink pen. Text from
word processors cannot be printed on the print surface.
• Do not attach stickers or tape on the print paper before
printing.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.
• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing.
Doing so may damage the printer.
• When paper is ejected after printing, do not allow
more than five sheets to accumulate in the paper tray.
Doing so may result in a paper jam.
Notes on storage
• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.
• Do not store print paper sheets with their printing
surfaces touching each other. Also, do not allow
printing surfaces to remain in contact with plastic or
rubber materials containing vinyl chloride or
plasticizers for extended periods of time. Doing so
may result in discoloration or bleaching.
• When removing unused print paper from the printer
for storage, store it in its original packaging.
