Operation
Before Printing
This section describes the operations that must be
performed prior to starting printing. This explanation
assumes that the printer has already been installed and
that all connections have been made.
• Loading an ink ribbon cassette (on this page)
Once these operations have been completed, there
should be no need to perform them again during routine
printing.
2
Remove the ink ribbon cassette by pressing the
EJECT button.
The ink ribbon cassette pops out.
Notes
• When replacing the ink ribbon or paper, do not turn off
the power. Turning off the power will cause the image
stored in the memory to be lost.
• Use the ink ribbon suitable for the type of print
material. Before attempting to load an ink ribbon,
make sure that the combination of the ribbon and
paper is compatible. (See “Ink Ribbon and paper” on
page 19.)
• Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use
with this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result
in unsatisfactory printing or malfunctions. (See
Note
Never put your hand into the ink ribbon
compartment. The thermal head becomes very hot.
You may burn yourself if you touch it.

Detach the used ink ribbon from the ink ribbon
holder.
Load the ink ribbon to the supplied ink ribbon holder,
and load the ink ribbon cassette (referring to the ink
ribbon holder loaded with the ink ribbon) to the printer’s
ribbon compartment.
Notes
• When you use the printer at the first time, the thermal
head was locked at the factory. Turn on the printer first
to unlock the thermal head, then start to load an ink
ribbon cassette.
• Once an ink ribbon has been completely used, replace
it. Ink ribbons are not reusable.

Notes
The number of the paper is the same as the number of the
paper that one roll of the ink ribbon can afford. Usually
the ink ribbon and paper have run out at the same time.
However, even when either the ink ribbon or the paper
has run out, replace both the ink ribbon and the paper
with new ones. When you load the paper, pay attentions
to the following.
• The paper tray holds up to the total number of sheets
contained in a package sheets of paper. If you exceed
this limit, paper jams may occur. Also, do not place
different types of paper in the tray. If you do, paper
jams may occur.
• If you load the paper that is not compatible with the
ink ribbon used, the gray balance may be changed.
• Load the paper so that it lays flat in the paper tray. If
the paper is curled, it will overflow the paper tray and
the printing position may shift. If this happens, load
fewer sheets in the paper tray.

printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is
used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the
printout.
Miscellaneous
• 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.
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing
or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use
the unit with a damaged power cable.
On Transportation
Do not transport the printer with the supplied
accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time,
disconnect the power cable.
• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the
cable itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of
electric shock from the internal parts.
• 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.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into
the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and
consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.

Remove the ink ribbon cassette and the paper tray.
Lock the thermal head.
1 Turn on the power of the printer.
2 Press the MENU, G and g buttons together and
hold them for 2 seconds.
3 Turn off the power of the printer.
Note
Never put your hand into the ink ribbon compartment,
when locking the thermal head. Doing so may cause
injury to your hand because it may be caught by the
thermal head.
To unlock the thermal head
Turn on the power of the printer again. The thermal head
moves and you can load the ink ribbon cassette again.
Installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct or excessive sunlight
Cleaning
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Ventilation holes are provided on the both sides and
the rear of the unit to prevent the unit from
overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other
objects or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.
Note
Be sure to turn off the power of the printer before
cleaning it. The ink ribbon and paper roll removed
When the cabinet becomes dirty
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine or chemical cloth, which may damage the
finish.
On condensation
• If the printer 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 quantities of moisture,
condensation may form inside the printer. In such
cases the printer will probably not work properly, and
may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If
moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and
leave the printer standing for at least one hour.
Cleaning the filter
Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from
overheating on the both sides and the rear of the printer.
When the message “CLEAN FAN FILTER” appears on
the printer widow display, the filter of the ventilation
holes on the left side has become dirty.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on
the ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the

To clean the filter, proceed as follows.
Use the black tip in the following cases
• When a scratch appears only on the printout, but no
scratches appear on the spaces around the picture.
• When the use of the white tip has no effect.
• Periodic head cleaning
1
Remove the fan cover, then filter.

We recommend use of the black tip every month
(or every 500 sheets of printout) to keep the
thermal head clean.

2
Insert the tip fully until it stops with a click.
Cleaning the thermal head
You should clean the thermal head in the following
cases:
Turning the tip to keep the cleaning effect
The cleaning effects decreases when the tip is used the
following number of times:
• When the vertical white stripe appears on the printout.
• When the scratch appears on the printout.
White tip: Cleaning about 30 times
Black tip: Cleaning one time
To regain the original cleaning effect, reinsert the tip, as
shown below, so that you can clean the head with the
unused surface of the tip.
How to use the white tip and black tip
When using the white tip, the sponge roller wipes off the
dust on the thermal head.
When using the black tip, the polishing material on the
sponge roller scrapes off the dust on the head.
Pull out the tip, turn it 90°,
then reinsert it.
Use the white tip in the following cases
• When a vertical white stripe appears on the printout
because of dirt on the thermal head.
• Ordinary head cleaning for preventing accumulation
of dirt on the head
One tip provides four new surfaces. After using all
unused surfaces, exchange the tip for a new one.

Ink Ribbon and paper
Cleaning of the thermal head
To clean the thermal head, proceed as follows:
You need paper and ink ribbon cassette for printing.
(“Ink ribbon cassette” stands for the supplied ink ribbon
holder loaded with ink ribbon.) Use the ink ribbon and
paper contained in the same package. If the printer
detects an incompatible combination, an error message
appears in the printer window display and you cannot
make printouts.
