For customers in the U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this manual could void your
authority to operate this equipment.
All interface cables used to connect peripherals must be
shielded in order to comply with the limits for a digital
device pursuant to Subpart B of part 15 of FCC Rules.
For customers in Canada
This unit has been certified according to Standard CAN/
CSA-C22.2 No.60601-1.
Important safeguards and notices for use
in the medical environments
1. All devices connected to the unit must be certified or
compliant according to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60950-1,
and IEC 60065 standards and other IEC/ISO
standards applicable to the devices.
2. Furthermore, the system as a whole must comply
with IEC 60601-1 standards. All peripheral devices
connected to the signal input/output sections of the
unit constitute the medical-use system, and
therefore, the user is responsible for ensuring that the
system as a whole complies with IEC 60601-1
standards. If in doubt, consult qualified Sony service
personnel.
3. Connecting the unit to other devices may increase the
leakage current.
4. For all peripheral devices connected to the unit that
operate on commercial power supplies and do not
comply with IEC 60601-1 standards, incorporate an
isolation transformer that complies with IEC 60601-
1 standards and connect to the commercial power
supply via the transformer.
5. The unit generates, uses, and may radiate radio
frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause
interference on other devices. If the unit causes
interference (which can be determined by
disconnecting the power cord from the unit), try the
following.
– Relocate the unit with respect to the affected
devices.
– Connect the unit and the affected devices to
different branch circuits.
For more information, consult qualified Sony service
personnel.

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-X898MD is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the UP-X898MD should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the UP-X898MD.

WARNING
Using this unit for medical purposes
The connectors on this unit are not isolated.
Do not connect any device other than one which
conforms to IEC 60601-1 standards.
When an information technology device or AV device
that uses an alternating current is connected, current
leakage may result in an electric shock to the patient or
operator.
If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its power
supply by connecting an isolation transformer, or by
connecting an isolator between the connecting cables.
After implementing these measures, confirm that the
reduced risk now conforms to IEC 60601-1 standards.
Notes
• Turn off the power to each device before making any
connections.
• Connect the AC power cord last.
• Before connecting the unit to the computer, turn off
the unit, computer, monitor, and all peripheral devices
connected to the computer.
• Before connecting the unit to the computer, disconnect
the power cord from the unit. Connect the power cord
to the unit only after connecting the unit and the
computer.
• Follow the connection procedures described in the
computer manual.
• Make sure that the cables are connected securely at
both ends.
• The unit drive software provided with the unit is not
suitable for using the unit connected to a network.
• Printer operation is not guaranteed when connecting
to the computer using the USB cable via a hub.

Installing the Printer Driver to the
Computer
When you use Windows XP/Windows Vista:
After connecting this unit to the computer, turn on this
unit. For installing, see the Install Guide of the supplied
CD-ROM and the Readme file.
When you use Windows 7/8:
Before connecting this unit to the computer, install the
supplied printer driver to the computer. For installing,
see the Install Guide of the supplied CD-ROM and the
Readme file.
Note
When this unit is turned on, do not make the computer
which is connected to this unit standby (suspended) or
pause mode. It may occur the malfunction.
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-880/890MD series printer.
Paper You Can Use
Print paper characteristics are as follows.
Notes on storing and handling paper
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 not to touch
the printing surface with your fingers.
Inspection gel, fingerprints or perspiration could cause
pictures to blur.
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the
paper, pull the paper out 15 – 20 cm (6 – 8 in) before
printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could
spoil a picture.
• If you reuse paper that has been removed once, pull
out 15 – 20 cm (6 – 8 in) before printing. If the dust,
etc. exists, it could spoil a picture.
Storing printouts
