Notes on storing ink ribbon cartridges and paper
In order to print, it is necessary to prepare a Sony Print Pack (printing
paper and an ink ribbon cartridge, sold as a set). A 10UPC-P40 self-
laminating printing pack must be purchased separately.
• The ink ribbon cartridge is designed to allow you to print an image on
each of the sheets in the Print Pack.
• Never touch the printing side (the blank, glossy side) of the paper or the
ink ribbon. Doing so could leave fingerprints, which will harm image
quality.
• If it is necessary to change the ink ribbon cartridge or to add more paper
while printing is in progress, do not turn off the printer. If you turn off
the printer, the image that is stored in the printer's memory will be lost.
• Ink ribbon cartridges cannot be re-used.
• If a paper jam occurs, do not just pull the paper out. Remove the paper
by following the procedure described in "If the Paper Jams" (page 86).
• Do not keep partially used ink ribbon cartridges or unused, opened paper
in dusty locations. Dust on the printing surfaces will harm image quality.
• If you will not be using a partially used ink ribbon cartridge or unused,
opened paper for an extended period of time, place them back in their
original bags for storage.
• Do not store ink ribbon cartridges and paper in hot or humid locations, or
in direct sunlight.
