Notes
When storing ink ribbon cartridge:
• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject to:
— high temperatures
— high humidity
— excessive dust
— direct sunlight
• Store a partially used ink ribbon cartridge in its original packaging.
If your ink ribbon should tear
Repair the tear with transparent tape. There should be no problem with using the
remaining portion of the ribbon.
Loading Paper
To load paper, follow the procedure below. Be careful not to touch the printing
surface.
Notes
• You can 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 only paper that we recommend. Failing to do so is likely to result in
malfunctions such as paper jam.
