Handling the Paper Roll and Ink Ribbon Notes • Each printing pack contains two sets of the ink ribbon and paper roll combination. Use the ink ribbon and the paper roll in the carton as a set. Do not mix with other varieties of ribbon or paper roll. (See "Ink Ribbon and Paper" on page 27.) • The number of sheets that can be printed differs depending on the printing pack. One set of the ink ribbon and paper roll allows you to print the following number of sheets.

If the paper roll or ink ribbon is replaced after only partial use, the above print capacities are not guaranteed. • When setting the paper roll down, place it vertically as shown. If you place the paper roll horizontally, the paper may roll around and fall. This may cause an injury.

Do not touch the terminals on the IC chip with your hands or metal objects, and do not dent, drop, or otherwise apply shock to the IC chip. Doing so may cause the ink ribbon to become unusable.
