Stand the cassette on a flat surface as illustrated in the diagram. Avoid doing so on the floor as dust attached to it may cause printing errors.
Do not touch the retransfer face (the side that faces outward when installed) with your hand. Touching it may cause printing errors. Put on the supplied gloves when handling the retransfer film.
The cassette is heavy when the retransfer film is loaded. To prevent the cassette from dropping during handling, make sure to hold it with both hands.
When installing a used retransfer film, align the unused side of the film with the arrow indicated on the label of the cassette. Improper alignment may result in errors, or the print may turn out light.
Do not perform any work on the printer door. Do not place heavy objects or apply load on the printer. Doing so may damage it.
During replacement, clean the four bobbin holders on the printer. If burrs produced by friction with the bobbins are attached to the bobbin holders, they may fall onto the card, ink ribbon, or retransfer film, causing printing errors.
