reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the UP-X898MD is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the UP-X898MD should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the UP-X898MD.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the UP-
X898MD
The UP-X898MD is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the UP-X898MD can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (Transmitters) and the UP-X898MD as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Notes on storing and handling paper

Do not re-use
Doing so may result in malfunction and
negatively affect printing results.

Storing unused paper

• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or
allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid,
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.

Loading paper
• Handle the paper carefully when loading not to touch
the printing surface with your fingers.
Inspection gel, fingerprints or perspiration could cause
pictures to blur.
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the
paper, pull the paper out 15 – 20 cm (6 – 8 in) before
printing. Label adhesive remaining on the paper could
spoil a picture.
• If you reuse paper that has been removed once, pull
out 15 – 20 cm (6 – 8 in) before printing. If the dust,
etc. exists, it could spoil a picture.

Storing printouts
• To prevent printouts from fading or changing color,
store them in a cool, dry location where the
temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).
• Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between
sheets of paper that contain no plastic.
• Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to
direct sunlight or high humidity.
• Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the
prints to contact any organic volatile liquid,
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.

12 Paper
• To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a
diazo copy sheet.
• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use

Getting Started
Caution
A paper cutter is mounted in the unit. When
cleaning the thermal head, be careful not to
touch the paper cutter. Touching the paper
cutter may cause injury.
Caution
Do not insert your finger into the back of the
paper tray. Your finger may become stuck in
an internal gap, which may lead to injury.

Caution
Do not touch any unit circuitry and the patient at the
same time.
If the unit malfunctions, it may generate voltage that
could be harmful to the patient.

Notes
• Before loading paper in the unit, see “Notes on storing
and handling paper” (page 12).
• Always handle paper carefully when loading to avoid
adversely affecting the quality of the printouts. Never
bend or crease the paper and never touch the printing
surface with your fingers. Inspection gel, fingerprints
or perspiration could cause pictures to blur.
• Do not use any paper other than UPP-110S/110HD/
110HG paper. (page 12)
• Be sure to set “-PP.TYPE” of the “CONFIG.” menu to
the paper to be used. (page 20) You can confirm the
media currently selected on the LCD. For detailed
information on how to confirm, see “Paper currently
selected” (page 24).

Caution
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading
paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching
the paper cutter may cause injury.

Loading Paper 13
