Sony Global - Snap Lab - External Printer Connectivity

The UP-CR20L can connect to an external printer and use it as a slave printer.
The external printer can print on media sizes that the UP-CR20L doesn't support, which means shop owners can provide customers with two print sizes without having to replace the paper media.

ROLLOVER PRINTING

Rollover printing is available with the UP-DR200. If the UP-CR20L runs out of print media, the UP-DR200 can take over printing continuously and automatically. This feature minimizes interruptions in service caused by the printer running out of paper.

Note
The same print packs have to be loaded onto both printers for rollover printing. The printer with the lowest remaining print media will be used first.

To utilize this feature, firmware V1.50 or greater is required on the UP-CR20L and firmware Ver.1.50 or greater is required on the UP-DR200.
Please use a USB cable to connect the UP-CR20L and the UP-DR200. Plug the USB cable into the USB (A) port (host) on the top of the UP-CR20L.

Firmware V1.50 or greater for the UP-DR200 does not support printing from a PC. If you want to print from a PC using the UP-DR200, you need to install the downgrade firmware (available below).

(2) At the Download File dialog, click Save.
(3) At the Save As dialog, save the file into a folder of your choice.

Note: If you would like to download multiple Border design data, repeat steps (1) to (3) as necessary.

2. Decompress the downloaded Border design data.

Each data is downloaded to your computer as a self-extracting EXE file. Decompress the file as follows.

(1) Double-click the name or icon of the downloaded EXE file.
(2) At the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog, enter the name of the folder into which to store the decompressed data. (The default is C:¥).

Note 1: If you have downloaded multiple files, repeat steps (1) to (4) for each of these.

Note 2: The extractor creates a Sony subfolder under the folder you have designated, and places the extracted emplate files
into this Sony subfolder.

3. Copy the extracted data into a CompactFlash card.

(1) Copy the entire Sony subfolder (as created in the preceding procedure) into the root folder of the CompactFlash card.
(2) Confirm that the CompactFlash root folder now contains a subfolder called ¥Sony¥UPCR20¥template.

Note: If your computer is unable to write to CompactFlash cards: You can instead write the data into some other type of memory card first and then use the SnapLab Copy Template feature to copy the data into a CompactFlash card mounted in the printer's expansion slot. To proceed, carry out the two steps below (using the appropriate card instead of a CompactFlash card), and then copy the data into a CompactFlash card mounted in the expansion slot. Please refer to the operating instruction (Chapter 3, "Setup," under the section on the Template Tab) for details about copying to the expansion slot.
