Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in 
• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing 
or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use 
the unit with a damaged power cable.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, 
disconnect the power cable.
• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the 
cable itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. There is a danger of 
electric shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the 
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to 
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the 
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire 
or electric shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into 
the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and 
consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Ventilation holes are provided on the back of the unit 
to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to 
obstruct them with other objects or by covering the 
unit with a cloth etc.
On condensation
• If the printer is subjected to wide and sudden changes 
in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold 
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with 
a heater that tends to produce quantities of moisture, 
condensation may form inside the printer. In such 
cases the printer will probably not work properly, and 
may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If 
moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and 
leave the printer standing for at least one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden 
changes in temperature, condensation may form on 
the ink ribbon or paper inside. This will cause the 
printer to malfunction. Also if the printing pack is 
used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the 
printout.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its 
original packing and reseal the package. If possible, 
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. 
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its 
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. 
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when 
the printing pack is removed from its package.
On Transportation
Do not transport the printer with the supplied 
accessories.
 Doing so may cause malfunction.

1
Turn on the power of the printer.

G and g buttons together.
3
Turn off the power of the printer.
Note
Never put your hand into the ink ribbon compartment, 
when locking the thermal head. Doing so may cause 
injury to your hand because it may be caught by the 
thermal head.
To unlock the thermal head
Turn on the power of the printer again. The thermal head 
moves and you can load the ink ribbon cassette again.
Cleaning
Note
Be sure to turn off the power of the printer before 
cleaning it. The ink ribbon and paper roll removed 
When the cabinet becomes dirty
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry 
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild 
detergent solution. 
Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or 
benzine or chemical cloth, which may damage the 
finish.
Cleaning the filter
Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from 
overheating on the left side and the rear of the printer.
When the message “CLEAN FAN FILTER” appears on 
the printer widow display, the filter of the ventilation 
holes on the left side has become dirty.
To clean the filter, proceed as follows.
