NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. 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.

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.

Paper / Loading Paper in the Unit
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 Caution
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.
2
Press the OPEN button to open the paper door.
Getting Started
Make sure that the paper is set straight.
4 3
Close the paper door and press on it to shut it.
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.
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.
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.
