Notes on storing and handling paper

Installing the Printer Driver to the Computer When you use Windows XP/Windows Vista: After connecting this unit to the computer, turn on this unit. For installing, see the Install Guide of the supplied CD-ROM and the Readme file. When you use Windows 7/8: Before connecting this unit to the computer, install the supplied printer driver to the computer. For installing, see the Install Guide of the supplied CD-ROM and the Readme file. Note

When this unit is turned on, do not make the computer which is connected to this unit standby (suspended) or pause mode. It may occur the malfunction.

Do not re-use Doing so may result in malfunction and negatively affect printing results. 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 not to touch the printing surface with your fingers. Inspection gel, fingerprints or perspiration could cause pictures to blur. • After removing the label from the leading edge of the paper, pull the paper out 15 - 20 cm (6 - 8 in) before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could spoil a picture. • If you reuse paper that has been removed once, pull out 15 – 20 cm (6 – 8 in) before printing. If the dust, etc. exists, it 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.

Paper

11

• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use double-sides tape or a water base adhesive. • Do not incinerate waste printer paper.

Loading Paper When loading paper, make sure to follow the notes of the symbols on the unit.

Getting Started

Caution

A paper cutter is mounted in the unit. When cleaning the thermal head, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause injury. Caution

Do not insert your finger into the back of the paper tray. Your finger may become stuck in an internal gap, which may lead to injury. Caution Do not touch any unit circuitry and the patient at the same time. If the unit malfunctions, it may generate voltage that could be harmful to the patient. Notes

• Before loading paper in the unit, see “Notes on storing and handling paper” (page 11). • Always handle paper carefully when loading to avoid adversely affecting the quality of the printouts. Never bend or crease the paper and never touch the printing surface with your fingers. Inspection gel, fingerprints or perspiration could cause pictures to blur. • Do not use any paper other than UPP-110S/110HD/ 110HG paper. (page 11) • Be sure to set “-PP.TYPE” of the “CONFIG.” menu to the paper to be used. (page 17) You can confirm the media currently selected on the LCD. For detailed information on how to confirm, see “Paper currently selected” (page 21). Caution

A paper cutter is mounted in the unit. When loading paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause injury.
