Caution
Precautions during use
● Please read through all the following items before using the
printer.
Handling instructions
● Pay careful attention of the following when handling a printing media
(retransfer film or ink ribbon) or card.

Before Use
5
● Using a deformed or scratched card may cause card feed er-
rors.
● Touching the printing surface of the printing media or card di-
rectly with your hand may cause the print to turn out uneven.
● Foreign particles attached to the printed areas may result in
printing voids. Attach the printing media in a clean environ-
ment.
● Use of electrically-charged printing media or cards may cause
printing errors. Do not allow static to occur, such as due to
cards rubbing against each other.
● When replacing or replenishing a printing media or card that is
stored under a low temperature, use after leaving the media or
card at the operating ambient temperature of the printer for at
least one hour.
Otherwise, condensation may occur, causing printing errors or
malfunction of the printer.
Storage
Storage instructions
● The storage conditions of the printing media (retransfer film or
ink ribbon) and card have a significant effect on the printing
quality. Store the printing media or card in one of the following
locations.
Storage environment
● Temperature: 5
7 C to 25 7 C
● Relative humidity: 40 % to 60 %
Storage location
Do not store the printing media or card in the following locations.
Doing so may cause the media or card to deteriorate.
● Places exposed to direct sunlight.
● Places with a high humidity.
● Places near organic solvents or diazo copiers.
Storage period
● Use the printing media (retransfer film or ink ribbon) within half
a year after purchase. For details on the cards, please consult
our authorized dealers.
Printer Installation
● When the printer is not in use, it is recommended that you turn off the
power, and cover it with a plastic sheet.
● Do not place the printer unit in the following locations. Doing so may
have adverse effects on the printer.
● Carpeted room.
● Places with a busy flow of people.
● Places where paper (corrugated boards, etc.) is handled or stor-
ed.
● Places near photocopiers.
● Places exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating equipment
(such as a stove).
● Inclined or unstable surfaces.
● Places exposed directly to cold air, such as near an air-condi-
tioner outlet, or places subject to high temperatures.
Precautions on retransfer films/ink ribbons
● Put on the supplied gloves when handling the retransfer film/ink ribbon.
Direct contact of your hand with the printing surface may result in print-
ing errors.
When retransfer film/ink ribbon is dismantled
● Winding misalignment may occur. If an improperly wound re-
transfer film/ink ribbon is installed, the resulting color may vary,
or errors may occur.
When attaching the retransfer film/ink ribbon
● Use your hands to adjust the media at the supply and take-up
sides so that they are parallel to each other.
When doing so, make sure you do not touch the printing sur-
face.
● Refer to the label adhered to the cassette for alignment of the
screen position. Printing errors may occur if the position is not
properly aligned.
During transport or moving
● Make sure to set to the transport mode.

Precautions on cards
Handling and storage of cards after printing
Avoid storing cards at places that are exposed to direct sunlight
or subject to high temperatures and humidity.
Discoloration or fading may occur if a card comes into contact
with the following chemicals or stationery.
● Organic solvents, including alcohol, film cleaner, or diazo cop-
ies.
● Files, document cases, pass holders, or erasers made of flexi-
ble polyvinyl chloride.
● Hair wax or cosmetic products.
Card types
Thin cards and certain card materials may not be suitable for
printing using this printer. For details on the card material to use
and other specifications, please consult our authorized dealers in
advance.
Note:
● If the card thickness is not properly adjusted, printing error or
printer malfunction may occur.
"Adjusting Card Thickness"
（ A page 55）
When a card is jammed inside the printer
Cards may not be discharged correctly such as when the retrans-
fer setting for the card is inappropriate.
Stop using and remove the jammed cards immediately. Otherwise,
you may have problems removing the cards, and fire or electric
shock may also occur as a result.
● When a card jam occurs, make use of the jog dial to remove the
jam.
● If the card cannot be removed, consult a servicing personnel or
our authorized dealers.
