Precautions:
• Be sure to use an ink ribbon cassette specified by SHARP. The use of any ink ribbon cassette
other than specified could cause troubles in the printer.
• After opening the parcel, be careful not to make the surface of the ink ribbon dirty, and install it
soon.
• If you preserve the ink ribbon cassette for a long time, the ink will be dry and the ink ribbon
cassette’s life will be shortened. Please use it soon. If you do not use it soon, put it in an airtight
receptacle and preserve it in a cool and dark place. Do not leave it in a location that is subject to
high humidity and direct radiation.
