Applications for This Printer
Chapter 1 Outline
This printer can be used for any of the following
applications. The appropriate operation mode can be
selected according to the intended application.
• Self-service photo kiosk in a store
Customers can bring media containing data for photos
taken with a digital camera to the store and use this unit
themselves to print their photos.
Both Full mode and Quick Print mode are designed for
this type of application.
Full mode provides customers with a wide variety of
options, while Quick Print mode allows customers to
print their photos quickly and easily.
As customers must pay for the photos they have selected
for printing in this application, the unit can be set to
require store staff to confirm the order and input a
password before the photos can be printed.

This unit can be used for onsite printing of photos at
events. Both guests and staff can operate the unit to print
photos free of charge.
Event mode is designed for this type of application.
Because photo printing is free of charge, there is no need
to confirm the order or input a password.
For details, see “About Operation Modes” on page 26.

Handling the paper roll and ink ribbon
Notes
• The print pack contains two ink ribbons and two paper
rolls. Be sure to use the ink ribbon and paper roll in the
same carton as a set. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on
page 72.)
• The ink ribbon and paper roll are not meant to be used up
completely. Even if there is some ink ribbon and paper
remaining, be sure to load a new ink ribbon and paper
roll as a set. Using leftover paper may result in
malfunction.
• Make sure to use a matching paper roll and ink ribbon
set. Using an unmatched combination will not only
prevent you from obtaining normal print results but may
cause a paper jam or a malfunction.
• Do not touch the printing surface of the paper roll or the
ink on the ink ribbon. Fingerprints and other pollutants
can lead to reduced print quality.
• The number of sheets that can be printed depends on the
print pack type. The table below lists the image count for
one ink ribbon and paper roll set.
Adjusting the Display Angle
The display angle can be adjusted to make the display
more easily viewable. Seven settings are available for
angle adjustment.
When storing the unit, pull the display forward until
completely upright and then push it backward until
horizontal.
