Paper  
Loading Paper in the  
Unit  
Use only Sony UPP-210SE/210HD/UPT-210BL paper  
designed for use with this unit. High print quality cannot  
be guaranteed if any other paper is used with this unit,  
and such paper could damage the unit.  
Notes  
• Do not touch the print surface of thermal printing  
paper when loading paper. The fingerprints,  
perspiration and creases that may result will lower the  
print quality.  
• Use only UPP-210 series or UPT-210BL printing

Notes on storing and handling paper  
Storing unused paper  
• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C  
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
• Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or  
allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid,  
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.  
The LCD display shows the message “SONY UP-  
990AD” for the UP-990AD and “SONY UP-  
970AD” for the UP-970AD.  
Loading paper  
• Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid  
touching the printing surface with your fingers.  
Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause  
pictures to blur.  
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the  
paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.)  
before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the  
paper could spoil a picture.  
Notes  
• The LCD display backlight lights in amber and  
shows the message “EMPTY” when no printing  
paper is loaded.  
• The LCD display backlight lights in amber and  
shows the message “DOOR” when the paper door  
is open.  
• When set to analog mode, the LCD display shows  
the message “NOINP” if there is no video signal  
input.  
Storing printouts  
• To prevent printouts from fading or changing color,  
store them in a cool, dry location where the  
temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).  
• Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between  
sheets of paper that contain no plastic.  
• Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to  
direct sunlight or high humidity.  
• Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the  
prints to contact any organic volatile liquid,  
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.  
• To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a  
diazo copy sheet.  
• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use  
double-sides tape or a water base adhesive.  
• Do not incinerate waste printer paper.

Precautions  
On Safety  
• Check the operating voltage before operation.  
Operate the unit only with a power source specified in  
“Specifications”.  
Ventilation holes (intake)  
Ventilation holes (exhaust)  
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid  
object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have  
it checked by qualified personnel.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be  
using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by  
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to  
qualified personnel only.  
• If the unit is subjected to wide and 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 unit. In  
such cases the unit will probably not work properly,  
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.  
If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power  
and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.  
• Connect the power plug of the unit to a wall outlet  
with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth  
should be properly established.  
Caution on the paper cutter  
A paper cutter is mounted with the UP-970AD. When  
loading a paper or cleaning the UP-970AD, be careful  
not to touch the paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter  
may cause injury.  
On the Printer Carriage  
Do not carry or move the unit when the paper roll is  
placed in the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction.  
On Installation  
• Place the unit on a level and stable surface.  
If you use the unit with placed on an uneven surface,  
malfunction of the unit is likely to occur.  
• Do not install the unit near heat sources. Avoid  
locations near radiators or air ducts, or places subject  
to direct sunlight or excessive dust, humidity,  
mechanical shock or vibration.  
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent heat build-  
up. Do not place the unit on surfaces such as rugs,  
blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and  
draperies.  
• To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room  
around the printer for air to circulate through the  
ventilation holes (intake) on the left hand side and the  
ventilation holes (exhaust) on the rear of the cabinet.
