Basic Insulation.
5. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause
interference to other equipment. If this unit causes
interference (which can be determined by
unplugging the power cord from the unit), try these
measures: Relocate the unit with respect to the
susceptible equipment. Plug this unit and the
susceptible equipment into different branch circuit.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the UP-D897 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the UP-D897 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the UP-D897.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Paper
Use only Sony UPP-110S/110HD/110HG paper
designed for use with this unit. High print quality cannot
be guaranteed if any other paper is used with this unit,
and such paper could damage the unit.
You cannot use the UPP-110HA as specified for the
UP-D890/890 series printer.
Paper You Can Use
Print paper characteristics are as follows.
Notes on storing and handling paper
Do not re-use
Doing so may result in malfunction and
negatively affect printing results.
Storing unused paper
• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or
allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid,
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.
Loading paper
• Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid
touching the printing surface with your fingers.
Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause
pictures to blur.
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the
paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.)
before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the
paper could spoil a picture.
Storing printouts
• To prevent printouts from fading or changing color,
store them in a cool, dry location where the
temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).
• Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between
sheets of paper that contain no plastic.
• Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to
direct sunlight or high humidity.
• Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the
prints to contact any organic volatile liquid,
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.
• To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a
diazo copy sheet.
• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use
double-sides tape or a water base adhesive.
• Do not incinerate waste printer paper.
Loading Paper in the
Unit
Notes
• Before loading paper in the unit, see “Notes on storing
and handling paper” (page 10).
• Always handle paper carefully when loading to avoid
adversely affecting the quality of the printouts. Never
bend or crease the paper and never touch the printing
surface with your fingers. Fingerprints perspiration
can blur printing.
• Do not use any paper other than UPP-110S/110HD/
110HG paper. (page 10)
• Be sure to set the “MEDIA” of the menu to the paper
to be used. (page 13) You can confirm the media
currently selected on the LCD.
For detailed information on how to confirm, see
“Paper currently selected” on page 17.
Loading Paper
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading
paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching
the paper cutter may cause injury.
1 Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn the unit on.
When paper is not loaded yet, the back light on the
LCD lights in umber and the message “EMPTY” is
displayed.

Getting Started
Loading Paper in the Unit 11
2 Press the OPEN button to open the paper door.
3 Remove the label from the leading edge of the
paper, pull out about 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.) of
the paper, and then set the paper roll in the paper
tray.
Note
To avoid exposing the paper to dust, dirt, etc.
always handle it carefully when removing from its
package and loading it in the unit. Paper exposed to
dirt or dust cannot be used for printing.
4 Close the paper door and press on it to shut it.
Notes
• Make sure that the paper is loaded straight. If it is
skewed, this could cause the paper to jam.
• If you did not pull out enough paper in step 3, press the
FEED button on the operation panel to feed some
more paper out of the unit without pulling out the
paper.
Remove label and pull
out 15 to 20 cm (about 6
to 8 inches).
Load the paper with the printing side (heat
sensitive side) up. Printing is not possible if the
paper is reversed.
Make sure that the paper is set
straight.

Precautions
On Safety
• Check the operating voltage before operation.
Operate the unit only with a power source specified in
“Specifications”.
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid
object falls into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have
it checked by qualified personnel.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you will not be
using it for a long time. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• Connect the power plug of the unit to a wall outlet
with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth
should be properly established.
Caution on the paper cutter
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading a
paper or cleaning the unit, be careful not to touch the
paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause injury.
On the Printer Carriage
Do not carry or move the unit when the paper roll is
placed in the unit. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
On Installation
• Place the unit on a level and stable surface.
If you use the unit with placed on an uneven surface,
malfunction of the unit is likely to occur.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources. Avoid
locations near radiators or air ducts, or places subject
to direct sunlight or excessive dust, humidity,
mechanical shock or vibration.
• Provide adequate air circulation to prevent heat build-
up. Do not place the unit on surfaces such as rugs,
blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and
draperies.
• To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer for air to circulate through the
ventilation holes (intake) on the left hand side and the
ventilation holes (exhaust) on the rear of the cabinet.
• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in
temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of
moisture, condensation may form inside the unit. In
such cases the unit will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.
If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power
and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.
