Paper

Paper You Can Use Print paper characteristics are as follows. Print Characteristics

Paper Type

TYPE I (Normal)

UPP-210SE

TYPE II (High Density)

UPP-210HD

TYPE III (Thermal film)

UPT-210BL

Getting Started

Use only Sony UPP-210SE/210HD/UPT-210BL paper designed for use with this unit. High print quality cannot be guaranteed if any other paper is used with this unit, and such paper could damage the unit.

Loading Paper in the Unit Notes

• Do not touch the print surface of thermal printing paper when loading paper. The fingerprints, perspiration and creases that may result will lower the print quality. • Use only UPP-210 series or UPT-210BL printing paper (page 9). • Make the menu settings required by the loaded paper type (page 17, 30).

1

Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn on the printer.

Note

The UP-970AD model cannot use UPT-210BL.

Notes on storing and handling paper Storing unused paper • Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C (86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight. • Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride. Loading paper • Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid touching the printing surface with your fingers. Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause pictures to blur. • After removing the label from the leading edge of the paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.) before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could spoil a picture. Storing printouts • To prevent printouts from fading or changing color, store them in a cool, dry location where the temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F). • Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between sheets of paper that contain no plastic. • Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity. • Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the prints to contact any organic volatile liquid, cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride. • To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a diazo copy sheet. • To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use double-sides tape or a water base adhesive. • Do not incinerate waste printer paper.

The LCD display shows the message “SONY UP990AD” for the UP-990AD and “SONY UP970AD” for the UP-970AD. Notes

• The LCD display backlight lights in amber and shows the message “EMPTY” when no printing paper is loaded. • The LCD display backlight lights in amber and shows the message “DOOR” when the paper door is open. • When set to analog mode, the LCD display shows the message “NOINP” if there is no video signal input.
