you have all of the accessories, and assemble them as
described on page 34.
After connecting the printer as described on page 36,
load the paper and ink ribbon following the steps below
to prepare for actual printing.
These steps are not required every time you print, but
only as necessary.

• The number of printouts that can be printed may not
be guaranteed if you replace the ink ribbon and paper
before the ink ribbon and paper run out.
• Place the paper roll vertically with flanges facing up
and down. If you place the paper roll horizontally, the
paper may roll around and fall. This may cause an
injury.

• Hold the right and left flanges of the paper roll so that
you do not drop it, because it is heavy. Dropping may
result in an injury and may cause accumulation of dust
on the paper. Any dust on the printing surface will
result in poor printout quality.
• A built-in IC chip is located around one side of the
flange of the paper roll. Be careful not to hurt the IC
seal or give it a shock. If you do, you may not be able
to use the ink ribbon any more.
Hold the right and left flanges with both hands.
• Do not detach the blue and pink spools of the ink
ribbon until you start loading the ink ribbon
• A built-in IC chip is located around one side of the
pink spool. Be careful not to hurt the IC seal or give
it a shock. If you do, you may not be able to use the
ink ribbon any more.
