Loading the Paper Roll and Ink Ribbon
Chapter 2 Preparations
Loading the Paper Roll
and Ink Ribbon
Handling the paper roll and ink
ribbon
• 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 79.)
• 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.
• Do not replace the printing pack if it has only been
partially used. 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.
• Hold the paper roll with both hands so that you do not
drop it, because it is heavy. Dropping may result in an
injury.
• Do not detach the black and white spools of the ink
ribbon until you start loading the ink ribbon.
• An IC chip is embedded in the black spool. 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.
Before Loading the Paper Roll and
Ink Ribbon
Confirm that the unit is powered on. If not, turn the power
on.
Otherwise, the automatic paper feeding may not be done
correctly after loading of the paper roll and ink ribbon is
completed.
Clean the thermal head and rollers regularly, whenever
you load a new paper roll and ink ribbon.
For detailed information on cleaning, see “Cleaning the
Interior” on page 50.
If you use the 2UPC-R204 series, 2UPC-C26 series, or
2UPC-R206 series Printing Pack with the 152-mm
(6-inch) paper width after using the 2UPC-R203 series or
2UPC-R205 series Printing Pack with the 127-mm

About Operation Modes
This unit has three operation modes.
Full mode
This mode is designed for using this unit as a self-service
photo kiosk to be operated directly by customers in a store.
This mode makes all functions available, providing
customers with a wide choice of print options.
Because of the numerous options provided to the customer
in this mode, it may take a significant amount of time for a
customer to complete the ordering process.
Quick Print mode
This mode is also designed for using this unit as a self-
service photo kiosk to be operated directly by customers in
a store. Compared to Full mode, the customer is presented
with fewer options, which allows them to more easily and
quickly print their photos.
The following functions are not available in Quick Print
mode:
•Split Image
• Border Print
•Index Print
• Image editing other than crop and rotate
Event mode
This mode is designed for using this unit at events such as
parties or weddings.
This mode is intended to allow event guests to print photos
free of charge; this mode is also intended for use in a store
where the unit is operated only by staff. This mode
provides access to all functions.
The language selection, pricing, and password input
functions are not used in Event mode.

number of prints is reset.
To reset the maximum number of prints, touch the
button and input the new maximum.
When the Price setting is configured
The maximum price includes the basic price and additional
fees. The maximum price setting also assumes that matte
finish is always selected. (This is because matte finish can

40 Setting Cut Mode
Chapter 4 Advanced Settings
Setting Cut Mode
It is possible to print in non-standard sizes when using the
2UPC-R205 series, 2UPC-C26 series, or 2UPC-R206
series printing pack. This function allows you to print
several different print sizes without having to replace the
printing pack.
If Cut mode is set, a print size selection screen appears at
the start of the ordering process.
The following print sizes can be set in Cut mode.
2UPC-R205 Series
• 5 × 7 (standard print size)
• 3.5 × 5 (standard print size, cut in half)
2UPC-C26 and 2UPC-R206 Series
• 6 × 8 (standard print size)
• 5 × 7 (image is printed in 5 × 7 on 6 × 8 paper, leaving a
blank border)
• 4 × 6 (standard print size, cut in half)
When printing an image that is half the size of a standard
print (3.5 × 5" for the 2UPC-R205 series and 4 × 6" for
2UPC-C26/2UPC-R206 series), the amount of paper and
ink used is that same as the amount used when printing the
standard sized print. As a result, when you print orders that
result in images filling only part of a sheet, the paper and
ink for that sheet are partially wasted.
When [Odd/Even Message] is set to [ON] and a print order
results in images that fill only part of a sheet, a message
prompting customers to order additional images appears.
Setting Cut mode
1
Open the Print tab on the administration screen.

Appendix
Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer using the power source specified in
“Specifications” on page 80.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
unit with a damaged power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, turn
off the power and disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord
itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit. 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.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the
cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult
your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.
• 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.
Installation
• Install the unit on a level surface. Do not install the unit
on a slant or on its side. Doing so could damage the unit.
• Do not jar or drop the unit.
• Do not install the unit in any location that is subject to:
– instability
– excessive dust
– extremely high or low temperatures
– vibration
– high humidity
– direct sunlight
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the unit. Doing so
could result in damage.
On transporting the printer
Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories,
ink ribbon and paper roll attached. Doing so may cause a
malfunction. It is recommended that you store the ink
ribbon and paper roll in the package they came in after you
remove them.
On condensation
• If the printer is subjected 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 quantities 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 moisture
condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the
printer standing for at least one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on the
ink ribbon or paper inside. 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.

Memory Cards
Notes on Using “Memory Stick”
• Sony bears no responsibility for damage to your memory
card or data while using this unit.
• Operation of “Memory Stick” (up to 32 GB) media on
this product is confirmed. However, proper operation on
all types of the “Memory Stick” media is not guaranteed.
• You cannot play back files that are 4 GB or larger in size
from “Memory Stick” media due to the specifications of
its file system.
“Memory Stick” types
“Memory Stick” is a removable, compact data storage card
that can be used with digital still cameras and personal
computers. Still images stored in a “Memory Stick” can be
easily displayed, overwritten or deleted.
“Memory Stick” comes in two types: general purpose
“Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick” using the
MagicGate encryption technology to protect copyrighted
material, referred to as “MagicGate Memory Stick.” This
unit supports both types of “Memory Stick.” However,
because this unit does not support the MagicGate standard,
material recorded with this unit is not protected by
MagicGate.
In addition, you can also use “Memory Stick Duo” or
“Memory Stick PRO” with your unit.
Notes on MagicGate™
“MagicGate” is the collective name of content protection
technologies developed by Sony.
Write-protecting “Memory Stick” data
In order to protect important data from accidental erasure,
the “Memory Stick” has a write-protect switch. When the
switch is in the left-hand position, data can be written to or
deleted from the “Memory Stick,” and the “Memory
Stick” can be initialized. When the switch is in the right-
hand position, data in the “Memory Stick” can be read, but
cannot be written. When inserting a “Memory Stick” into
this unit in order to read data, slide the write-protect switch
to the protected state.
The write-protect switch position and shape varies
depending on your type of “Memory Stick.”
Reinitializing (formatting) “Memory Stick”
Before using your “Memory Stick” for the first time, make
sure that you use your digital camera to format it.
Formatting the “Memory Stick” with a device other than
your digital camera may make data on the “Memory Stick”
unreadable for the system.
Notes on using “Memory Stick”
• To use a “Memory Stick” insert it directly into the
“Memory Stick” slot of the system. Do not insert the
“Memory Stick” into a CompactFlash type adapter, as
this may accidentally delete the data on the “Memory
Stick.”
• Do not remove the “Memory Stick” while reading or
writing data.
• Data may be corrupted in the following cases.
– When the “Memory Stick” is removed or the system is
turned off during read or write operation
– When the “Memory Stick” is used in locations subject
to static electricity or electrical noise
• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick.”
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the “Memory
Stick.”
• Do not get the “Memory Stick” wet.
• Avoid storing or using the “Memory Stick” under the
following conditions:
– In a hot location, such as inside a car or outside on a
very hot day.
– In direct sunlight.
– In a humid location or where corrosion occurs easily.
• Do not touch the “Memory Stick” contacts with
anything, including your finger and metallic objects.
• Do not affix anything other than the supplied label to the
“Memory Stick” labeling position.
• Affix the supplied label so that it does not stick out
beyond the labeling position.
• Carry and store the “Memory Stick” in its case.

• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a functioning
pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small
proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always
off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or
flashing. In addition, over a long period of use,
because of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction.
