Printer Paper / Loading Paper in the Printer 7
Printer Paper
Use only Sony UPP-110S/110HD/110HG paper
designed for use with this printer. High print quality
cannot be guaranteed if anyother paper is usedwith this
printer, and such paper could damage the printer.
Printer paper intended for use with the UP-D890
cannot be used with the UPP-110HA.
Print Paper You Can Use
Print paper characteristics are as follows.
Storing and Handling Paper
•Stored 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.
•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.
•To prevent printed pictures from fading or changing
color, store them in a cool, dry location where the
temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).
•Store printed pictures in a polypropylene pouch or
between sheets of paper that contain no plastic.
•Do not store printed pictures where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.
•Do not store printed pictures near volatile liquids or
allow the prints to contact any organic volatile liquid,
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.
•To prevent fading, stack prints on or under a diazo
copy sheet.
•To mount prints on another sheet of paper, use double-
sides tape or a water base adhesive.
•Do not incinerate waste printer paper.
Loading Paper in the
Printer
Notes
•Before loading paper in the printer, see “Storing and
Handling Paper”(on page 7).
•Always handle print paper carefully when loading to
avoid adversely affecting the quality of the printed
pictures. 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 7)

Others
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 fromthe 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.
•Do not touch the cutting blade of the printer.
•Connect the power plug of the printer to a wall outlet
with a protective earth terminal. The safety earth
should be properly established.
On operation
Do not turn the power off while the printer is printing.
The thermal head may be damaged.
On the printer carriage
Do not carry or move the printer when the paper roll is
placed in the printer. Doing so maycause a malfunction.
On installation
•Place the printer on a level and stable surface.
If you use the printer with placed on an uneven
surface, malfunction of the printer is likely to occur.
•Do not install the printer 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 printer on surfaces such as rugs,
blankets, etc., or near materials such as curtains and
draperies.
•If the printer 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 printer.
In such cases the printer will probably not work
properly,and mayevendevelopafaultifyoupersist in
using it. If moisture or condensation forms, turn off
the power andallow theprinter to standfor at least one
hour.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Cabinet

Troubleshooting 13
Troubleshooting
Before you call for service, please check the problems
and solutions described below. If you cannot solve the
problem, contact the nearest SONY authorized dealer.
Problem Solution
First few prints
spotted with
small dots.
New paper roll just installed?
tIf a new roll of paper has just been
loaded, paper dust may cause white
spots in printed images. Press the FEED
button and hold it down to feed about
15~20 cm (6~8 in.) and then release.
Print job does not
start. •Paper does not feed.
tPower switched on?
tPrinter connected correctly?
tPaper out?
•Alarm sounds.
tThermal head overheated? A high
density print job, i.e. printing all
black, could cause the thermal head
to overheat. When overheated, the
EMPTY lamp flashes. Cancel the
print job and allow the printer to
cool.
tPaper loaded correctly?
•Paper feeds but printing does not start.
tPrinter paper loaded with the wrong
side up? (page 7)
Paper Jams •Jammed paper visible?
tPress the OPEN button to open the
paper door, and then gently pull the
jammed paper out of the printer.
•Condensation collected in printer?
tIf the printer has just been brought
into a warm room from a cold loca-
tion, condensation may have formed
inside the printer. Switch the printer
off and let it set for an hour or two
(until it warms to room temperature),
then try printing again.
Printouts dirty. Thermal head dirty?
tUse the head cleaning sheet provided
with the printer to clean the thermal
head. (page 10)
Printer halts dur-
ing continuous
black printing.
When printing 15 or more pictures contain-
ing solid black areas, the thermal head pro-
tection circuit may shut down the printer to
prevent the thermal head from overheating.
tStop printing and allow the thermal head
to cool.
