Loading Paper
To load paper, follow the procedure below. Be careful
not to touch the printing surface.
Notes
• Use only paper recommended. Failing to do so is
likely to result in malfunctions such as paper jams.
(See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 13.)
• When a blank sheet of paper is ejected and the
RIBBON indicator lights, the ink ribbon has been
exhausted. Replace the paper together with the ink
ribbon. Do not use the ejected blank paper.
1
Remove the paper tray.
2
Place the paper in the paper tray so that the printing
surface faces up with the protection sheet on top.
When the UPC-21L printing pack is used: Lay
the partition down.
When the UPC-21S printing pack is used: Raise
the partition.
Notes
• The paper tray holds up to 50 sheets of paper
when the UPC-21L printing pack is used and 80
sheets of paper when the UPC-21S printing pack
is used.
• When handling the paper, do not touch the
printing surface. Dust or finger prints are likely to
cause unsatisfactory printing or malfunction of
the head. Grasp the paper by the printing surface
protection sheet.
• When loading the paper, set the paper with the
arrow on the protection sheet pointing in the same
direction as the arrow in the paper tray. Also, load
the paper so that it lays flat in the paper tray. If the
paper is curled, it will overflow from the paper
tray and paper may not be fed properly. Be sure to
riffle the paper along with the protection sheets
before attempting to place the paper in the paper
tray.
• Do not place different types of paper in the tray at
the same time.
3
Remove the protection sheet placed on the top of
the paper.
4
Slide the paper tray back into the printer until it
clicks into place.
When storing the paper
• Avoid storing the paper in a location subject to:
– high temperatures
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
• Use the original package for storing unused paper.
Riffle the paper with
the protection sheet.
Place the paper along
with the protection sheet
in the paper tray with the
printing surface facing up.
Set the paper with the
arrow on the protection
sheet pointing in the
same direction as the
arrow in the tray.
Front
