Operation
Before Printing
This section describes the following operations that must be made prior to starting
printing after mounting the paper tray and paper cover on the printer (see
“Assembly” on page 72) and making the necessary connections (see “Connections”
on page 74).
• Loading an ink ribbon cartridge (See below.)
• Loading paper (See page 12.)
• Selecting the input signal (See page 14.)
Once the above operations have been completed, there should be no need to repeat
them during routine printing. Perform them only when absolutely necessary.
Notes
• You can replace the ink ribbon cartridge or load paper regardless of whether the
power is on or off. However, turning off the power will cause the image stored in
the memory to be lost.
• Use the ink ribbon and paper contained in the same package as a pair. Before
attempting to load an ink ribbon cartridge or paper, make sure that the
combination of the ink ribbon and paper is compatible.
• Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use with this printer. Failing to do so
is likely to result in malfunctions. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 124.)
Loading an Ink Ribbon Cartridge
To make printouts, an ink ribbon cartridge (an ink ribbon holder which has been
loaded with an ink ribbon) and paper must be loaded.
Load an ink ribbon into the supplied ink ribbon holder, then load the ink ribbon
cartridge into the printer’s ribbon compartment.
Notes
• When you use the printer for the first time, the thermal head may be out of
position. Before attempting to use the ink ribbon cartridge, turn on the power so
that the thermal head is placed at the correct position.
• When transporting the printer, remove the ink ribbon cartridge.
• Do not throw away the supplied ink ribbon holder even if the ink ribbon is used
up. The ink ribbon holder is reusable even though the ink ribbon is not reusable.
• When you use the UPC-510 Color Printing Pack, 200 sheets of printouts can be
printed for one ink ribbon roll. Even if you finish one pack of paper containing
100 sheets, do not throw away the ink ribbon. You can use the ink ribbon for
another pack of papers.
• Once an ink ribbon has been completely used up, replace it. An ink ribbon is not
reusable.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon for reuse.
• Do not touch the ink ribbon or place it in a dusty location. Finger prints or dust
on the ink ribbon will result in imperfect printing or malfunction of the head.
• Use the ink ribbon and paper supplied only for the initial operation check of
the printer.
