OFF (SW-UP): Does not feed out extra blank paper once an image has been printed. To save paper by feeding only a short length of paper after printing an image, set this switch to OFF. In this way, you can make more printouts per roll of paper, but you have to feed the paper manually using the FEED button and tear off the paper. When you make multiple copies of the same printout, this position is effective in helping to save paper.

Setting Up the Printer/Paper

8 OUTPUT switch Selects the video signal output from the VIDEO OUT connector on the rear panel. THRU (SW-DOWN): Signals are output directly to the video monitor. EE (SW-UP): Signals are output to the video monitor after being processed by the printer. In this mode, the impedance at the VIDEO IN connector is 75 ohms regardless of the setting of the 75Ω ON/OFF switch qs.

Type of paper

9 AGC (Automatic Gain Control) switch Adjusts the input signal to the optimum printing level. OFF (SW-DOWN): Normally keep this switch set to this position. ON (SW-UP): When the printout image appears too dark or too light, set the switch to this position to adjust the input signal to the optimum level.

Storing unused paper Avoid storing unused paper in a location subject to the following. Storage of unused paper in such a place results in deterioration of unused paper. • Store unused paper in a cool and dark place (below 30°C or 86°F). • Do not store unused paper in a hot or humid place. Do not leave unused paper in direct sunlight or other bright places. • Do not allow any volatile organic solvent or vinyl chloride to touch unused paper. Alcohol, plastic tape or film will deteriorate unused paper.

qa INPUT switch B & W (SW-DOWN): When the signal to be printed is black and white, set the switch to this position. COLOR (SW-UP): When the signal is color, set the switch to this position. qs 75Ω ON/OFF switch ON (SW-DOWN): When nothing is connected to the VIDEO OUT connector, set the switch to this position. OFF (SW-UP): When a video monitor or other video equipment is connected to the VIDEO OUT connector, set the switch to this position. When the OUTPUT switch 8 is set to EE (SW-UP), the impedance at the VIDEO IN connector is fixed to 75 ohms. Example: When you connect two printers to one piece of video equipment, set the 75Ω switch of one of the printers to ON, and the other to OFF. When you connect the printer and a video monitor to the video equipment, set the 75Ω switch to OFF.

Paper Use only UPP-110S/110HD/110HG paper as specified for the UP-895/895MD/895CE. If another type of paper is used, the quality of the printout cannot be guaranteed. Use of another type of paper may also cause malfunction of the printer. You cannot use the UPP-110HA paper as specified for the UP-880/890MD/890CE.

Making Printouts

1 Press the power switch to turn on the printer. Power lamp EMPTY lamp

Note

Make sure that the EMPTY lamp turns out after blinking for a few seconds. If lit, the paper has run out. Load the paper. (“Loading Paper” on page 26)

2 Select the printing direction and image size. See “Selecting the Printing Direction/Image Size” on the next page.

3 Start the video source. This operation is done using the controls of the video equipment which you are using as a source.

4 When the image you want to print is on the video monitor, press the PRINT button. The image displayed at the instant you press the PRINT button is captured into memory and is printed out immediately.

If the printout image is blurred A rapidly moving image may be blurred when printed. Should this occur, change DIP Switch 4 (MEMORY) to FIELD (SW-UP). (See page 24.) The printout quality will be poorer, but less blurred. To print in SMALL mode You can print in SMALL mode, where two different images can be captured and printed together on one printout, by setting the image size selector on the front panel to the SML position. To print in SMALL mode: Press the PRINT button twice in step 4. When you press the PRINT button once, the buzzer sounds and the first image is captured. The printer starts printing after the PRINT button is pressed twice. For detailed information on SMALL mode, see “Selecting Printing Direction/Image Size” on the next page.

Operation

The power lamp lights and the EMPTY lamp blinks for a few seconds.

To stop printing and print another image displayed on the video monitor To do this, DIP Switch 1 (INTERRUPT) must be set to ON (SW-DOWN). (See page 24.) Press the PRINT button while printing or copying. The printer stops printing, captures the new image, and starts printing the new image. In SMALL mode, the printer stops printing and captures the first image.

To feed the paper Press and hold down the FEED button to feed the paper. Do not pull out the paper manually. Storing printouts • Avoid storing printouts in a location subject to the following. Storage of your printouts in such a place results in fading of printouts. – Store printouts in a cool and dark place (below 30°C or 86°F). We recommend storing printouts in a bag made of clay-free paper or polypropylene. – Do not store printouts in a hot or humid place. Do not leave printouts in direct sunlight or other bright places. – Do not allow any volatile organic solvent or vinyl chloride to touch printouts. Alcohol, plastic tape or film will cause the printout to fade. • Do not stack your printouts on or under a diazo copy sheet. Also do not attach the printed surface to another printed surface. The printout may become discolored. • To attach the printout to another piece of paper, use double-sided adhesive tape or water-based glue.

To interrupt printing Press either the OPEN or FEED button while printing. The printer stops printing. Operation

27

Printing

Making copies of the last printout Press the COPY button. The printer makes a copy of the last printout. 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.

To copy in different directions and sizes You can copy the last printout in different directions and sizes except in SMALL mode. Before pressing the COPY button, select the printing direction and size as described in “Selecting the Printing Direction/Image Size” (See this page.) Notes

Operation

• If you press the COPY button immediately after turning the power on, the alarm buzzer will sound as nothing is stored in memory. • In the SMALL mode, if you press the COPY button after you have pressed the PRINT button only once, the alarm buzzer will sound and the printer will not copy.

Selecting the Printing Direction/ Image Size You can make variations of printouts using the STD/ SIDE selector, image size selectors and the DIP switches.

Selecting the printing direction You can select the printing direction using the STD/ SIDE selector. To print in the same direction as the one displayed in the video monitor, set the selector to STD (standard). To print the image in the direction where the image is rotated by 90 degrees counterclockwise, set the selector to SIDE. STD

You cannot adjust the image once it has been captured in memory. Restore an image after adjustment by pressing the PRINT button.

Remotely Controlling the Printer

Operation

You can remotely control the printer using the RM-91 remote control unit or the foot switch connected to the REMOTE connector on the rear panel. Since the button on the remote control unit or foot switch functions exactly same as the PRINT button, pressing either of them during printing or copying results in an image being captured and immediately printed when DIP Switch 1 (INTERRUPT) on the rear panel is set to ON (SW-DOWN). (See page 24.)

Note

To adjust the contrast and brightness while confirming the adjusted image on the video monitor, set DIP Switch 8 (OUTPUT) to EE (SW-UP). After adjusting the contrast and brightness, be sure to reset DIP Switch 8 to THRU (SW-DOWN). Since the video signal is directly input to the video monitor without being processed by the printer when the setting is THRU, you can monitor the video signal as it is input directly from the video equipment.

To adjust the contrast You can adjust the contrast of image using the CONTR control. To make the contrast stronger, turn the CONTR control clockwise. To make the contrast weaker, turn the CONTR control counterclockwise.

Precautions/Maintenance

Precautions

Maintenance

On safety

Cleaning the cabinet

• Check the operating voltage before operation. Operate the unit only with a power source specified in “Specifications”. • Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel. • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. • Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. • Do not touch the cutting blade of the printer. • Connect the power plug of the printer to a wall outlet with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth should be properly established.

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 cleaning sheet supplied .

1 Press the power switch to turn on the printer.

On operation Others

Do not turn the power off while the printer is printing. The thermal head may be damaged.

2 Press the OPEN button to open the door.

On the printer carriage Do not carry or move the printer when the paper roll is placed in the printer. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

On installation • Place the printer on a level and stable surface. If you use the printer with placed on an uneven surface, malfunction of the printer is likely to occur. • Do not install the printer near heat sources. Avoid locations near radiators or air ducts, or places 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 or condensation forms, turn off the power and allow the printer to stand for at least one hour.

Troubleshooting

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 checks 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. Cause/remedy

White specks on the first few printouts.

When printing with a newly inserted roll of paper, dust on the surface of the paper may cause white specks on the printouts. t Feed the paper by pressing the FEED button until clean paper appears. (page 26)

Printing does not start when you press the PRINT button.

• Paper does not feed. t Is the paper slack? t Is the power turned on? t Are all connections correct? t Did you press the PRINT button twice in SMALL mode? (page 27) • When the alarm buzzer sounds: t Has the thermal head overheated? The thermal head may overheat when the printer prints dark image continuously. In such a case, the EMPTY lamp blinks. Wait until the head cools down. t Is the video signal of the image input? t Is the paper loaded correctly? • Paper feeds, but printing does not start. t Is the paper loaded with the thermo-sensitive side up? (page 26)

Black borders or missing portions around the printout.

This problem may result from the video signal input to the printer. t Change the setting of the DIP switches 6 and 7 (SCAN). (page 24)

Paper jam

• Open the door by pressing the OPEN button, then pull the jammed paper slowly and remove it. • There is condensation inside the unit. t 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 allow the unit to stand for about one to two hours.

The printout is dirty.

The thermal head is dirty. t Clean the thermal head with the head cleaning sheet supplied with the unit. (page 31)

Symptom

Cause/remedy

The printer stops printing when it continuously prints dark images. (The alarm buzzer sounds.)

This is likely to occur when the printer prints continuously 15 or more dark images. In such a case, the buzzer sounds. This is because a protective circuit guards against heat build-up in the thermal head. Stop printing for a while.

White lines or small letters on the screen are not printed clearly.

Is DIP Switch qa (INPUT) set to B & W when the input signal is a black and white signal? (page 25)

Small squares appear over the whole screen.

Is DIP Switch qa (INPUT) set to COLOR when the input signal is a color signal? (page 25)

The printout is too dark or too light.

• Is the DIP switch qs (75Ω ) set correctly? (page 25) • Is the PAPER TYPE switch in the paper tray set correctly? (page 23) • Is the GAMMA switch in the paper tray set correctly? (page 23)

The printout seems stretched or enlarged.

The DIP switch 3 (ASPECT) is set to 1:1. t Set it to 4:3. (page 24)
