BEFORE OPERATION
INK RIBBON INSTALLATION
After installing the print paper, install the ink cassette into this unit.
Before installing the ink cassette into this unit, load the ink ribbon in the ink cassette.
NOTE
• Place the ink cassette on a flat surface, when loading the ink ribbon.
• Select a place that is free of dust when loading the ink ribbon. Dust or dirt
settling on the ink ribbon results in poor print quality.
• Make sure that the shafts of the ink ribbon fit into the ink cassette firmly.
Load the ink ribbon in the ink cassette as shown below.
Make sure to load it in the correct position.

Make sure to set the ink ribbon roller to the ditches firmly.
Turn the shaft to eliminate any slack.
Place the ink cassette containing the ink ribbon in the
position as shown in the illustration.
To insert the ink cassette, align the protrusions on both sides of the
cassette with the right and left guides inside the printing unit and slide it in
a slanting direction.
Mount the ink cassette to the back firmly by holding the handle.
NOTE
Do not touch the thermal head.
Fingerprints or dust on the thermal head will degrade the print quality.
CAUTION
Do not touch the thermal head right after printing because it is
extremely hot. Otherwise you may get burned or injured.
NOTE
Note that the thermal head is quite sensitive to static electricity. When
you touch the thermal head while carrying static electricity on your
body, the thermal head may be damaged.

BEFORE OPERATION
Push the printing unit to close.
Close the printing unit by pushing the right and left sides of the unit from the front
with both hands.
When a new paper is loaded and the printing unit is closed with the power turned
on, the paper will be automatically fed and cut.
When closing the printing unit, be careful not to get your hands caught
between the printer and the printing unit. Otherwise, you may get injured.
• When closing the printing unit, push it until a click is heard.
• If the PAPER RIBBON indicator illuminates when the printing unit is closed, the
print paper may have not been installed correctly.
In this case, open the printing unit to make sure that the print paper has been
installed correctly. Then close the printing unit again.
• When the paper roll is reinstalled more than three times, the print paper may be
used up earlier than the ink ribbon.
Installation of the print paper and the ink ribbon is completed.
• Make sure to replace the print paper and the ink ribbon simultaneously.
• Empty the paper strip bin frequently to prevent jamming the strips at the print
outlet. Whenever you replace the paper and ink ribbon, make sure to throw
away the paper strips in the paper strip bin.
• Whenever you replace the print paper and the ink ribbon, clean the thermal
head and the platen roller. For the cleaning procedures,
