@ The length of one roli of the designated thermal transfer film
(Replacement film : KX-BP081) is approximately 100 meters (328 ft.).
One roll of thermal transfer film can print approximately 300 copies.
Note that the number of copies possible may differ depending on the operating
conditions.
Also note that the length of the thermal transfer film supplied with the unit is shorter
than the replacement film roll and is only approximately 20 meters (65.6 ft. ).
@ Store markers horizontally as vertical storage may stop the ink from
coming out.
Power Cord @ When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from the electrical
power socket and from the printer's power connector and coil it for
transportation as stepping on the power cord or having it catch on
something during movement may result in damage to the cord.
Replacing @ Dispose of the used thermal transfer film in a trash receptacle for burnable
the Thermal trash.
@ A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film.
(To protect the security of your information, we recommend cutting up
the used thermal transfer film with scissors or a shredder before disposing
of it.)
