• 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 printer for a long time, 

press the 1 ON/STANDBY switch on the printer to 
enter the standby state and then remove the power plug. 

• 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.

• 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.

When transporting the printer, be certain to first 
remove all accessories, including the ink ribbon and 
paper. Carrying the printer with accessories installed can 
later cause the printer to malfunction. It is recommended 
that the ink ribbon and paper roll be stored in their original 
bags.

Before you clean the printer, be sure to press the 1 ON/
STANDBY switch to enter the standby state and then 
remove the power plug. 

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 benzene 
or chemical cloth, which may damage the finish.

If printouts begin to appear with lines or marks on them, 
clean the internals of the printer according to the procedure 
described below.
To maintain print quality, we recommend that you perform 
regular cleaning once a month or once after every 10 
printing packs used.

Make sure that the printer is not performing an 
operation, and then pull out the media tray.

Confirm whether there is paper inside.

Remove the ink ribbon.
For details on how to remove the ink ribbon, see step 
4 of “Replacing the Ink Ribbon and Paper” on 
page 16.
