If the printer does not print
The printer cannot print in the following cases:
• When the remaining amount of ink ribbon or the
quantity of printing is displayed on the information
display because the MENU button was pressed and the
printer is off-line, the printer cannot receive a print
command from the computer.
• When an error message is displayed on the
information display, you cannot operate the printer.
Take remedies according to the advice given in “Error
and Warning Messages” on page 25.
Notes on storing your printouts
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, or conditions of
high temperature and high humidity, which could
cause the colors to fade.
• Avoid applying tape to a printout, and avoid contact
with plastic objects such as erasers and desk mats.
• Do not allow alcohol or other volatile organic solvents
to come into contact with the printouts.
Adjusting Gray Balance
The gray balance differs between different packages
where ink ribbons and papers are contained as a set. To
avoid imbalance, use the ink ribbon with the paper that
is supplied as a set in the same package. Also, when a
new ribbon and paper are loaded, we recommend that
the gray balance be adjusted. The gray balance of the
printer is set to No.0 as the factory setting. This setting
is retained even when the printer is turned off.
Note
The gray balance of images cannot be adjusted during
printing.
