Preparations
Before using the printer for the first time, you need to
install a print cartridge and the paper tray,as indicated
below. These preparations are not needed for everyday
print operations, but are to be done as required.
Unpacking the Printer
Make sure that the following accessories are supplied
with your printer.
• AC power cord (1)
• Paper trays (2, large/small)
• Paper holder (2)
• Tray cover (1)
•CD-ROM(1)
- Sony UP-DX100 Printer Driver Software
- Operating Instructions
• Cleaning cassette (1)
• Operating Instructions (1)
•Software License Agreement (1)
Preparing a Printing Pack
You need an optional printing pack (UPC-X46 or UPC-
X34) designed for the printer. The pack contains a set of
print paper and a print cartridge.
Notes
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper
printing result will not be obtained, or even a
breakdown may occur.
• Use the printing pack for this printer only.
• Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of
the print paper you use. If you mix cartridges and
paper of different types or sizes, printing may not be
possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.
• Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the printed
image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or
breakdown.
• Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the
printing surface of the print paper. If there are
fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink
ribbon, the printing quality may deteriorate.
• For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack
in locations that are subject to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.
• When storing a partially used pack of the print
cartridge and print paper, store it in its original bag or
in a similar container.
Loading the Print Cartridge

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper
printing result will not be obtained, or even a
breakdown may occur.
• If the print cartridge does not click into place, remove
it and then re-insert it. If the ink ribbon is too slack to
be loaded, wind the ink ribbon in the direction of the
arrow to remove the slack.
• If the print cartridge is not loaded when you turn on
the printer, the lamp lights up.
• Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the print cartridge
in a dusty location. Fingerprints or dust on the ink
ribbon may result in imperfect printing.
• Do not change the print cartridge while printing.

Inserting the Print Paper
1 Set the print paper into the tray.
Riffle the print paper. Then insert the print paper
with its printing surface (the side with no imprint)
facing up and the arrow pointing in the same
direction as the arrow in the tray.
You can set 25 sheets when the UPC-X46 is used,
and 30 sheets when the UPC-X34 is used.
2 Remove the protective sheet on the print paper.
Note
Be sure to keep the protective sheet, which is used
for cleaning the inside of the printer.
3 Insert the tray to the printer.
Note
Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints on
the printing surface may result in imperfect
printing.
Notes
• Set the paper of the UPC-X46 into the large paper tray,
and that of the UPC-X34 into the small paper tray. If
the paper size and tray size do not match, a paper jam
may occur.
• Do not remove or insert the paper tray during printing.
• If print paper does not feed automatically, the
lamp lights. Pull out the paper tray and check for a
paper jam.
• When adding print paper to a partially full tray, make
sure that the total number of sheets does not exceed 25
for the UPC-X46 or 30 for the UPC-X34. Do not
place different types or sizes of paper in the tray.
Otherwise, a paper jam or malfunction may occur.
• Do not write or type on the printing surface of the
paper before printing. You may not be able to proceed
with printing. If you want to write greetings or draw
on the printed surface after printing, use an oil ink pen.
• Do not attach stickers or anything else on the printing
surface before printing.
• Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the printed
image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or
breakdown.
• Before printing, do not fold or bend the print paper.
• Do not leave more than five sheets of ejected printed
paper on the paper tray because they may cause a
paper jam.
• Avoid placing the print paper in a location subject to
high temperatures, high humidity, excessive dust or
direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing the paper with the printed faces
touching each other or in contact with rubber or plastic
products including vinyl chloride or plasticizer for an
extended period of time; color changes or
deterioration of the printed image may occur.
• When you are going to store partially-used print paper,
store it in its original bag.
Attaching the tray cover
Keep the supplied tray cover attached to the paper tray
when not in use to protect print paper placed in the tray
from dust. The tray cover can be attached to either paper
tray for the UPC-X46 or for the UPC-X34.

Authentication
What's a passkey
Passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices
that have not previously connected to each other and
create a trusted relationship between them.
You need to enter the same characters (passkey) to each
device on passkey authentication process. This printer
uses a 4-digit number as a passkey.
Once authentication of the device has been confirmed,
the printer registered the device as a record. Since then
you can connect the device without entering a passkey.
To ensure proper security, the passkey entry has a time
limit (30 seconds), based on the Bluetooth standards.
The passkey entry may be required when the
authentication valid period of the printer orother device
is expired, the record is deleted, or the security setting is
changed.
Passkey entry may be required, depending on devices,
each time you intend to connect.
This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth
passkey” etc. “PIN” is also used with the same meaning.

Precautions 19
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” on page 20.
•This unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as
it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
printer with a damaged power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the printer for a long time,
disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the
cord itself.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• Do not disassemble or convert the unit.
• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric
shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire
or electric shock.
• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the printer
from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them
with other units or by covering the printer with a cloth
etc.
• If the printer malfunctions or if a foreign body falls
into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately
and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony
dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the printer in a location subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– where it is exposed to rain
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
– close to sources of strong magnetism
– close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
• Do not use other electronic equipment near the printer.
It will not work properly in strong electromagnetic
fields.
• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the
printer.
Condensation
• If the printer is subject 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 may even develop a fault if you persist in
using it. If condensation forms, set the printer to
standby mode and leave the printer to stand for at least
one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on
the print cartridge or paper. This will cause the printer
to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in
this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.
Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations
subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible,
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location.
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when
the printing pack is removed from its package.
Location
To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer for air to circulate through the vents
on the left hand side of the cabinet.
On transportation
• Do not transport the printer with the supplied
accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• Retain the original carton and packing materials in
case you have to transport the unit in the future.
Cleaning
• Before cleaning the printer, press the on/standby
button of the printer so that the lamp goes out, and
unplug the power cord.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the
finish.
