• 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 with the  
printer for the initial operation check of the  
printer.  
Operation  
Before Printing  
1
Open the front panel by pulling the front panel  
toward you.  
This section describes the operations below that must be  
made before printing, but after mounting the paper tray  
on the printer (see “Assembly” on page 7) and after  
making the necessary connections (see “Connections”  
• Loading an ink ribbon (See below.)  
• Loading paper (See page 11.)  
Once the above operations have been completed, there  
should be no need to repeat them during routine printing.  
Perform them only as necessary.  
Notes  
You can replace the ink ribbon 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.  
Note  
Be sure not to open the front panel when printing.  
• Use the ink ribbon and paper contained in the same  
package as a pair. Before attempting to load an ink  
ribbon or paper, make sure that the combination of the  
ink ribbon and paper is compatible. When either an  
ink ribbon or paper has been exhausted, replace both  
the ink ribbon and paper at the same time.  
• Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use with  
this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result in  
15.)  
2
Remove the spent ink ribbon.  
When you use the printer for the first time, this  
operation is not required.  
Loading an Ink Ribbon  
Load an ink ribbon into the printer’s ink 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, turn on the power  
under the condition where the front panel is closed  
so that the thermal head is placed at the correct  
position.  
• When transporting the printer, remove the ink ribbon  
and secure the thermal head.  
• If 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  
reuse the ejected blank paper.  
• 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.

RIBBON indicator lights, the ink ribbon has been  
exhausted. Replace the paper together with the ink  
ribbon. Do not use the ejected blank paper.  
Place the paper

when the UPC-21L printing pack is used and 80  
sheets of paper when the UPC-21S printing pack  
is used.  
– high humidity  
– excessive dust  
– direct sunlight  
• Use the original package for storing unused paper.  
• 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, 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.  
Attaching the stopper  
When multiple printouts are being ejected, printouts  
accumulated on the paper tray may be pushed out of the  
paper tray when a new printout is ejected.

and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.  
If condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the  
printer to stand for at least one hour.  
Miscellaneous  
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide or sudden  
changes in temperature, condensation may form on  
the ink ribbon or paper. This will cause the printer to  
malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in this  
state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.  
Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations  
subject to wide or sudden changes of temperature.  
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its  
original packing and reseal the package. If possible,  
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location.  
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its  
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.  
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when  
the printing pack is removed from its package.  
Precaution  
Safety  
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in  
• Be careful not to damage the AC power cord by  
placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous  
to use the unit with a damaged AC power cord.  
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,  
disconnect the AC power cord.  
• Unplug the AC power cord by grasping the plug, not  
the cable itself.  
• Do not disassemble the unit.  
• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric  
shock from the internal parts.  
Location  
To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room  
around the printer for air to circulate through the vents  
on the left hand side and top of the cabinet.  
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the  
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to  
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the  
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire  
or electric shock.  
Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from  
overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other  
units or by covering the unit with a cloth, etc.  
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into  
the cabinet, disconnect the AC power cord  
immediately and consult your Sony service facility or  
your Sony dealer.  
Before Transporting the Printer  
Before transporting the printer, use the following  
procedure to remove the supplied accessories and then  
put them back into their original packing. Transporting  
the printer with the supplied accessories still installed  
may cause malfunctions.

Remove the ink ribbon and the paper tray.  
Secure the internal thermal head, as follows:  
1 Turn on the printer.  
2 Press the TRANSPORT LOCK button on the  
rear panel of the printer.  
Installation  
The PRINT, ALARM, RIBBON and PAPER  
indicators are blinking and the printer operation  
tone keeps sounding for about two seconds.  
3 When the printer operation tone stops  
sounding, turn off the power of the printer.  
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:  
– mechanical vibration  
– high humidity  
– excessive dust  
– direct or excessive sunlight  
– extremely high or low temperatures  
• Do not use other electronic equipment near the unit.  
The unit will not work properly in strong  
electromagnetic fields.  
The thermal head is now secured.  
To release the thermal head  
Turn on the printer again. The thermal head moves so  
that you can now install the ink ribbon again.  
• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the  
printer.  
Condensation  
• If the printer is subject to wide or 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 printer. In  
such cases the printer will probably not work properly,
