Be sure to close the front panel completely. If you

thermal head.
When storing ink ribbon cartridge:
• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject to:
– high temperatures
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
• Store a partially used ink ribbon in its original 
packaging.
If your ink ribbon should tear
Repair the tear with transparent tape. There should be no 
problem with using the remaining portion of the ribbon.
Loading Paper
To load paper on the paper tray, follow the procedure 
below. Be careful not to touch the printing surface.
Note
Use only paper recommended. Failing to do so is likely 
to result in malfunctions such as paper jams. (See 
“Recommended Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 57.)

Take out the paper tray. Then, open the cover of the 
paper tray and place the paper in the paper tray so 
that the printing surface faces up with the protection 
sheet on top.
When the UPC-21L printing pack is used: Lay 
the partition down.
When the UPC-21S printing pack is used: Raise 
the partition.
Notes
• The paper tray holds up to 50 sheets of paper 
when the UPC-21L printing pack is used and 80 
sheets of paper when the UPC-21S printing pack 
is used.
• When handling the paper, do not touch the 
printing surface. Dust or finger prints are likely to 
cause unsatisfactory printing or malfunction of 
the head. Grasp the paper by the printing surface 
protection sheet.
• When loading the paper, load the paper so that it 
lays flat in the paper tray. If the paper is curled, it 
will overflow from the paper tray and paper may 
not be fed properly. Be sure to riffle the paper 
along with the protection sheets before 
attempting to place the paper in the paper tray.
• Do not place different types of paper in the tray at 
the same time.
Insert the hole of the 
handle of the ink ribbon 
over the protruberance 
of the printer.
Push the point marked
