•The number of printouts that can be printed may not be guaranteed if you replace the ink ribbon and paper before the ink ribbon and paper run out.

•Place the paper roll vertically with flanges facing up and down. If you place the paper roll horizontally, the paper may roll around and fall. This may cause an injury.

Flanges

•Hold the right and left flanges of the paper roll so that you do not drop it, because it is heavy. Dropping may result in an injury and may cause accumulation of dust on the paper. Any dust on the printing surface will result in poor printout quality.

•A built-in IC chip is located around one side of the flange of the paper roll. Be careful not to hurt the IC seal or give it a shock. If you do, you may not be able to use the ink ribbon any more.

Hold the right and left flanges with both hands.

•Do not detach the blue and pink spools of the ink ribbon until you start loading the ink ribbon

•A built-in IC chip is located around one side of the pink spool. Be careful not to hurt the IC seal or give it a shock. If you do, you may not be able to use the ink ribbon any more.
