Operation

If the printer does not print

The printer cannot print in the following cases:

•When the remaining amount of ink ribbon or the quantity of printing is displayed on the information display because the MENU button was pressed and the printer is off-line, the printer cannot receive a print command from the computer.

•When an error message is displayed on the information display, you cannot operate the printer. Take remedies according to the advice given in “Error and Warning Messages” on page 25.

Notes on storing your printouts

•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, or conditions of high temperature and high humidity, which could cause the colors to fade.

•Avoid applying tape to a printout, and avoid contact with plastic objects such as erasers and desk mats.

•Do not allow alcohol or other volatile organic solvents to come into contact with the printouts.

Adjusting Gray Balance

The gray balance differs between different packages where ink ribbons and papers are contained as a set. To avoid imbalance, use the ink ribbon with the paper that is supplied as a set in the same package. Also, when a new ribbon and paper are loaded, we recommend that the gray balance be adjusted. The gray balance of the printer is set to No.0 as the factory setting. This setting is retained even when the printer is turned off.

Note

The gray balance of images cannot be adjusted during printing.
