Paper / Loading Paper in the Unit

9

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.

Print paper characteristics are as follows.

The UP-970AD model cannot use UPT-210BL.

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.

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.

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.

• 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 

paper (page 9). 

• Make the menu settings required by the loaded paper 

type (page 17, 30). 

Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn on the 
printer.

The LCD display shows the message “SONY UP-
990AD” for the UP-990AD and “SONY UP-
970AD” for the UP-970AD. 

• 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.
