Loading the print cartridge

1

Turn on the printer and pull and open the cartridge
compartment lid.

2

Remove the protective film
and insert the print cartridge
into the printer firmly until it
clicks into place and close the
cartridge compartment lid.

To replace the print cartridge

When the print cartridge runs out, the 

cartridge error indicator lights and the error
message appears on the screen.
Open the cartridge compartment lid, push up
the eject lever, remove the used print
cartridge, and then insert the new cartridge.

Notes

• If the print cartridge does

not click into place, remove
it and then re-insert it.
Only when the ink ribbon
is too slack to be loaded,
wind the ink ribbon in the
direction of the arrow to
remove the slack.

• If ink ribbon should tear, repair the ribbon with

transparent tape. There should be no problem
with using the remaining portion of the ribbon.
Before loading the print cartridge into the printer,
turn the reel until the transparent tape can no
longer be seen.

• If the print cartridge is not loaded when you turn

on the printer, the warning sound beeps and the
cartridge error indicator lights up.

• Never put your hand into the cartridge

compartment. The thermal head reaches high
temperatures, especially after repeated printing.

Notes

• If print paper does not feed automatically, the

paper error and cartridge error indicators light.
Pull out the paper tray and check the paper jam.

• When adding the print paper to a partially full

tray, make sure that the total number of sheets
does not exceed 25 for the Post Card Size or 30 for
the Small Size print paper.  Do not place different
types of paper in the tray.  Otherwise, paper jam or
malfunction may occur.

• Do not remove the backing from sticker print

paper before printing is completed.  Otherwise,
jams or printer damage may occur.

• Do not print on the same print paper twice.

Otherwise, a malfunction or breakdown may
occur.

• If the print paper runs out when you press PRINT,

the warning sound beeps and the paper error
indicator lights.

sheet together into the tray.  After you placed
