Preparations

17

Before using the printer for the first time, perform the 
following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper 
tray. These preparations are not required at every use. 
Perform them only when necessary.

In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer 
(UPC-X46 series, UPC-X45 series, or UPC-X34 series) 
(not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting 
of print paper and a print cartridge.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound 

print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce 
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.

• Only use print packs designed for this printer.
• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that 

match in size. Using a print cartridge together with 
print paper of a different size may produce incorrect 
printing results or cause paper jams and other 
problems.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image 

twice on the same paper will not make the image 
darker and may damage the printer.

• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper 

and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid 
storing print packs in locations subject to high 
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct 
sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or 
ink ribbon may lower the print quality.

• When removing partially used print cartridges and 

print paper from the printer for storage, store them in 
their original packaging.

Press the upper portion of the print cartridge cover 
where PUSH OPEN is written to open it.

Insert the print cartridge into the cartridge slot, and 
push until it clicks into place.

Close the print cartridge cover.

When the print cartridge runs out, the 

 lamp lights 

and an error message appears on the operation display. 
Perform the following steps to replace the print 
cartridge.

Press the upper portion of the print cartridge cover 
where PUSH OPEN is written to open it.
