Operation
Before Printing 
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” 
on page 7
).
• 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.
• 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 
malfunctions. (See“Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 
15.)
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.
• 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.
1
Open the front panel by pulling the front panel 
toward you.
Note
Be sure not to open the front panel when printing.
2
Remove the spent ink ribbon.
When you use the printer for the first time, this 
operation is not required.
