Preparations
Before using the printer for the first time, you need to
install a print cartridge and the paper tray, as indicated
below. These preparations are not needed for everyday
print operations, but are to be done as required.
Unpacking the Printer
Make sure that the following accessories are supplied
with your printer.
• AC power cord (1)
• Paper trays (2, large/small)
• Paper holder (2)
• Tray cover (1)
•CD-ROM (1)
- Sony UP-DX100 Printer Driver Software
- Operating Instructions
• Cleaning cassette (1)
• Operating Instructions (1)
• Software License Agreement (1)
Preparing a Printing Pack
You need an optional printing pack (UPC-X46 or UPC-
X34) designed for the printer. The pack contains a set of
print paper and a print cartridge.
Notes
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper
printing result will not be obtained, or even a
breakdown may occur.
• Use the printing pack for this printer only.
• Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of
the print paper you use. If you mix cartridges and
paper of different types or sizes, printing may not be
possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.
• Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the printed
image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or
breakdown.
• Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the
printing surface of the print paper. If there are
fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink
ribbon, the printing quality may deteriorate.
• For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack
in locations that are subject to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.
• When storing a partially used pack of the print
cartridge and print paper, store it in its original bag or
in a similar container.
