Handling paper rolls
Operation
• 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.
Before Printing
Once the printer is connected to the computer (page 7),
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
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 19.
• 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
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.
IC board
• 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.
• 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.

state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep
the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To
subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed
package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so
prevents condensation from forming when the printing
pack is removed from its package.
Miscellaneous
Precautions
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” (page 20).
• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
unit with a damaged power cable.
• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time,
press the 1 ON/STANDBY switch on the printer to
enter the standby state and then remove the power plug.
• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the
cable itself.
Transportation
When transporting the printer, be certain to first
remove all accessories, including the ink ribbon and
paper. Carrying the printer with accessories installed can
later cause the printer to malfunction. It is recommended
that the ink ribbon and paper roll be stored in their original
bags.
Transporting the printer with scraps (created during
printing) inside the paper cover may also result in
malfunction. Before transporting the printer, be sure to
perform the procedure in “Removing Scraps” on page 14
to remove the scraps.
• Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of electric
shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or
to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the
cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit
is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the
cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult
your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.
Cleaning
Note
Before you clean the printer, be sure to press the 1 ON/
STANDBY switch to enter the standby state and then
remove the power plug.
Installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Ventilation holes are provided on the back of the unit to
prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to
obstruct them with other objects or by covering the unit
with a cloth etc.
When the cabinet becomes dirty
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth,
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene
or chemical cloth, which may damage the finish.
Cleaning the Internals of the Printer
Perform thermal head cleaning if lines and marks appear
on printouts, and perform roller cleaning if scratches
appear at regular intervals.
On condensation
• 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 quantities 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
condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the
printer standing for at least one hour.
Thermal head cleaning
To maintain print quality, we recommend that you perform
regular thermal head cleaning once a month or once after
every 10 printing packs used.

2
Make sure that the printer is not performing an
operation, and then pull out the media tray.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on the
ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the printer to
Confirm whether there is paper inside.
