Preparing the Printer
Before using the printer for the first time, perform the
following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper
tray. These preparations are not required at every use.
Perform them only when necessary.
Print packs
In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer
(UPC-X46 series, UPC-X45 series, or UPC-X34 series)
(not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting
of print paper and a print cartridge.
Notes
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.
• Only use print packs designed for this printer.
• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that
match in size. Using a print cartridge together with
print paper of a different size may produce incorrect
printing results or cause paper jams and other
problems.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.
• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper
and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid
storing print packs in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or
ink ribbon may lower the print quality.
• When removing partially used print cartridges and
print paper from the printer for storage, store them in
their original packaging.
