Handling Precautions
When moisture has condensed in the printer
The formation of water droplets inside the printer is referred to as condensation.
Condensation occurs in the following situations.
When the room in which the printer is located is heated rapidly
When cold air (from an air-conditioner, etc.) blows directly onto the printer
When the printer is moved from a location of low humidity to a location of high humidity
When moisture has condensed in the printer, moisture will adhere to the paper, deteriorating
print quality or causing paper jams. When moisture has condensed or is likely to condense,
leave the printer on and wait until there is no possibility for condensation to occur.
Do not use solvents such as paint thinner or benzene when cleaning
Spraying the printer with insecticide or wiping with paint thinner or benzene may deteriorate
or discolor the printer cabinet. When the printer cabinet has become dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth. When soiling is particularly heavy, dampen a soft cloth with water or neutral detergent
diluted with water, and wipe off the dirt after wringing the cloth out firmly.
Do not allow the printer cabinet to be in contact with rubber or vinyl products for an
extended period of time. This can cause discoloration or peeling of the coating
Extended contact with rubber, vinyl or plastic products can cause discoloring or peeling of the
coating.
Operate the printer at least once every six months
Not operating the printer for a long period of time can impair printer function. Operate the
printer at least once every six months.
Transporting when Moving, etc.
When transporting the printer, place the printer in the packaging materials and container in
which it was packaged. When these are no longer available, package the printer with sufficient
cushioning materials so that it is able to withstand shocks and impacts during transport.
Remove the paper cassette and ink cassette from the printer before transporting.

Printer Installation Site
Provide a location for installing the printer
that is flat and stable and ensures adequate
installation space. Install the printer in a
location that is able to withstand weight of
approximately 15 kg (30 lbs).
Installing the Ink Ribbon
Caution
P-400 ink ribbon P-RBN cannot be used in this printer for printing.
1
Tear off the center strip on the back of the
ink ribbon package along the tear line
shown.
2
Open one of the flaps.
Caution
When cutting open the cover sheet and tearing back the flaps, do not remove the flaps completely
from the package. Removal of the flaps will prevent you from determining the installation direction
of the ink cassette (ribbon holder).
Printer Installation
Provide enough space in front of the
printer so that the paper output tray
can be pulled out.
When actually installing the
printer, allow enough room
around the printer so that it is at
least 10 cm (4˝) away from the
wall.
10
3
Open the flap on the opposite side.
Caution
Do not allow the ink ribbon package to become deformed and do not take out the ink ribbon
directly with your hands.
4
Align the installation direction marks
(st) on the flaps on the ink ribbon
package and ink cassette (ribbon holder).
5
Attach the ink ribbon to the ink cassette.
(Press the ink cassette onto the ink ribbon
until all four locations snap into place.)
Tip
The procedure for installing the A6 wide-size passport ink ribbon differs from that of ink ribbon
used for ordinary printing. Follow steps 1 through 3 previously stated, but replace steps 4 and 5
with the following procedure. Then, continue with steps 6 through 11.
Take out the ink ribbon from the ink
ribbon package and remove the
stoppers from the bobbin of the ink
ribbon.
Attach the bobbin of the ink ribbon to
the ink cassette (ribbon holder) until it
clicks.
Green

6
Turn the bobbin in the direction indicated by the arrow to take in the slack of the ink ribbon.
7
Lower the eject levers on both sides of the
printer cover and open the printer cover.
Caution
Do not touch the inside of the printer when the printer cover has been opened.
Never touch the thermal head. This can result in burns or a malfunction.
The thermal head sensor is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Never touch the thermal head
sensor since this has the risk of causing a malfunction.
8
Hold onto the ink cassette with both hands
while checking the right (R) and left (L)
sides of the ink cassette.
Caution
Be careful not to touch the ink ribbon directly with your fingers.
Tip
Adjust the upper and lower bobbins of the attached ink ribbon so that the ink ribbon is taut and
free of twisting.

Precautions Regarding the Printer Driver
1) In the case of printing in A4 size, a minimum of 50 MB of available memory is required in the hard
disk (excluding regions using the OS and applications) in order to prepare printing data.
2) When installing the printer driver, be sure to follow the installation procedure described in this
manual to ensure proper installation.
3) If you remove the USB cable after the printer driver was installed, wait more than 5 seconds before
connecting it again. Otherwise, the printer may not operate properly. When you turn off and on the
printer or change the input selection, wait similarly.
4) Depending on the specifications or setting of the OS or PC, if processing has been interrupted while
