Operation

Before Printing Once the printer is connected to the computer (page 14), before you can actually begin printing you must load the paper and the ink ribbon as described below.

Notes on Handling the Ink Ribbon and Paper

• Since, like other color dyes, the dyes used in this ink ribbon may discolor over time, the product will neither be replaced nor be warranted against any color change. Handling paper rolls • Place the paper roll vertically on the stable place, when opening the wrapping. If you open the wrapping holding it with hands or placing it horizontally, you may drop it. Dropping may result in an injury. • Be sure not to open the wrapping with a knife such as a cutter. This may damage a paper roll and ink ribbon and you may not be able to use them for printing. • Whenever you set down a paper roll, place it standing on its end as show in the figure below. If you place it on its side, it could roll of the surface and fall, possibly causing personal injury. Operation

Do not re-use Doing so may result in malfunction and negatively affect printing results. Compatible ink ribbon and paper • Be sure to use only ink ribbon and paper that is intended specifically for use with this printer. • Always use the ink ribbon and paper provided in the same package together. Each printing pack contains two ink ribbons rolls and two paper rolls. • For details on the ink ribbon and paper that can be used in this printer, see “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 25.

• Always hold a paper roll securely with two hands. Dropping a paper roll could cause personal injury. Any dust on the printing surface will result in poor printout quality.

Handling the ink ribbon • Do not separate the two spools of the ink ribbon before loading it in the printer. • An IC board is built into one of the spools. Do not touch the terminals of the IC board, and do not allow them to come into contact with metal objects, etc. Furthermore, do not strike, bend or drop the ink ribbon; doing so could make the ink ribbon unusable. Hold securely with two hands

IC board

Notes on storing ink ribbons and paper • Do not store ink ribbons and paper in locations exposed to high temperatures, high humidity, dust, or direct sunlight. • Do not open the ink ribbon and paper packages until you are ready to use them. • If it is necessary to store a partially used ink ribbon or paper roll for an extended period of time, it is recommended that they be stored in their original bags.

• Do not attempt to re-use a used ink ribbon. • Do not rewind the ink ribbon. • Do not touch the surface of the ink ribbon, and do not leave it exposed in a dusty location. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of the ink ribbon can cause smudges in printed output, and can damage the thermal head.
