Printing with Expansion 
Printers
By connecting a USB printer to the unit, you can transfer 
data from the unit and print from the expansion printer.
Connecting an expansion printer enables the following.
• Increase the paper sizes that are available for printing
By loading a paper size that is different from the paper 
loaded inside the unit, you can increase the number of 
paper sizes that are available for selection when ordering 
prints.
• Minimize interruptions in service due to paper running 
out
When paper of the same size is loaded in both the unit 
and the expansion printer and the paper runs out while 
printing an order, you can have the print order continue 
automatically on the other printer. The printer with less 
remaining paper will be used first when printing with 
this feature.
You can connect up to one expansion printer to the unit.
For information on supported printers and further details, 
please visit the UP-CR20L support page at 
http://www.sony.net/snaplab.
Connecting the Expansion Printer to 
the Unit
Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the 
unit to the expansion printer. Plug the USB cable into a 
USB port (host) found in the extension connector area at 
the top of the unit. For further details on connection, refer 
to the operating instructions for your printer.
Before connecting the expansion printer to the unit, make 
sure that the unit is turned off or that the Start Guide screen 
is displayed. The printer may not be recognized if it is 
connected at any other time.
 
If an “unknown device” or “version upgrade required” 
message appears on the screen after connecting the printer 
to the unit and turning it on, confirm whether the printer is 
supported. For information on supported printers and 
version upgrades, please visit the UP-CR20L support page 
at http://www.sony.net/snaplab. 
Confirming Information Related to 
the Expansion Printer
You can view information related to the printer connected 
to the unit in the confirmation screen for the remaining ink 
ribbon.
Details on the expansion printer such as the name, size of 
the paper that is loaded, and the remaining number of prints 
for the ink ribbon are displayed below the information 
related to the UP-CR20L. For details on how to display the 
confirmation screen for the remaining ink ribbon, see 
“Checking the Remaining Ink Ribbon” on page 24.
Printing from the Expansion Printer
When the size of the paper loaded in the expansion printer 
differs from that loaded inside the unit, a print size 
selection screen appears after making a selection in the 
main menu. The print sizes that are available using the 
paper inside the unit and expansion printer are displayed 
together on the screen.
