Notes on use
On Ink ribbon
•Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the
ink ribbon in a dusty location.
Fingerprints or dust on the ink ribbon
may result in imperfect printing.
•Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use
the rewound ink ribbon for printing.
Otherwise, proper printing result will
not be obtained, or even a malfunction
may occur.
If the ink ribbon does not click into
place, remove it and then re-insert it.
Only when the ink ribbon is too slack to
be loaded, wind the spool of the ink
ribbon in the direction of the arrow to
remove the slack.
•Never disassemble the ink ribbon.
•Do not pull out the ribbon from the ink
ribbon.
•Do not remove the ink ribbon while
printing.
On print paper
•The side without the imprinting is the
printing surface.  Inferior print quality
may result if the printing surface is
contaminated with dust or fingerprints.
Be careful to avoid touching the printing
surface.
•Do not bend the paper or tear it off at the
perforations before printing.
•To avoid paper jam or malfunctions of
the printer, make sure the following
before printing:
–Do not write or type on the print
paper.  Use the oil ink pen to write on
the paper after printing.  You cannot
type on the print paper using an ink-
jet printer, etc.
–Do not attach sticker or stamps on the
print paper.
–Do not fold or bend the print paper.
–Total number of print paper does not
exceed 20 sheets.
–Do not print on the used print paper.
Printing an image twice on the same
paper will not make the printed image
thicker.
–Use the print paper for this printer
only.
–Do not use the print paper ejected
without printed.
•Do not print on used sheets of print
paper or attempt to rewind the ribbon
inside the ink ribbon.  Doing so could
result in damages to the printer.
•Do not remove the paper tray while
printing.

What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a compact-size IC
recording medium with a large capacity. It
has been designed not only for exchanging/
sharing digital data among “Memory Stick”
complaint products, but also for serving as
an insertable/removable external storage
medium that can save data.
Types of “Memory Stick” that
the printer can use
With the printer, you can use the following
types of “Memory Stick”*3:
Notes on storing print packs
•When you are going to store a partially-
used pack of the ink ribbon and print
paper for an extended period of time,
store it in its original bag or in a similar
container.

in the paper tray, make sure to close the
tray cover and slide cover.
•Avoid placing the ink ribbon in locations
subject to high temperature, high
