Notes on storing and handling paper
Storing unused paper
Loading Paper
• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
Caution
• 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.
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading
paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching
the paper cutter may cause injury.
Loading paper
1
Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn the unit on.
When paper is not loaded yet, the back light on the
LCD lights in umber and the message “EMPTY” is

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.

Precautions
On Safety
• Check the operating voltage before operation.
Operate the unit only with a power source specified in
“Specifications”.
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid
object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have
it checked by qualified personnel.
Ventilation holes (intake)
Ventilation holes (exhaust)
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be
using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• Connect the power plug of the unit to a wall outlet
with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth
should be properly established.
• If the unit 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 large amounts of
moisture, condensation may form inside the unit. In
such cases the unit will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.
If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power
and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.
Caution on the paper cutter
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading a
paper or cleaning the unit, be careful not to touch the
paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause injury.
On the Printer Carriage
Do not carry or move the unit when the paper roll is
placed in the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
On Installation
• Place the unit on a level and stable surface.
If you use the unit with placed on an uneven surface,
malfunction of the unit is likely to occur.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources. Avoid
locations near radiators or air ducts, or places subject
to direct sunlight or excessive dust, humidity,
mechanical shock or vibration.
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent heat build-
up. Do not place the unit on surfaces such as rugs,
blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and
draperies.
• To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer for air to circulate through the
