contain important information and useful tips on the
operation of your printer.
Important Safety Instructions
Read all of the instructions in this section before using
your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and
instructions marked on the printer.
When choosing a place for the printer
Observe the following when choosing a place for the
printer:
❏ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends
beyond the base of the printer in all directions. If you place
the printer by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the
back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate
properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏ When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand
it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak
from the cartridge.
❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to
be fully ejected.
❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also, keep the printer, remote controller, and AC
adapter away from direct sunlight, strong light, water, or
heat sources.
❏ Do not leave the printer or remote controller in a place
subject to high temperature, such as in a car. Also, keep
them away from direct sunlight, strong light, and heat
sources. Otherwise, the printer and the remote controller
may be damaged or ink may leak.
❏ Avoid places subject to dust, shock, or vibration.
English
PictureMate PM 300 / PM 310 Safety Instructions 3
❏ Leave enough room around the printer to allow for sufficient
ventilation.
❏ Place the AC adapter near a wall outlet where the plug can
be easily unplugged.
❏ Do not place or store the printer, remote controller, or AC
adapter outdoors.
When setting up your printer
Observe the following when setting up the printer:
❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in the printer.
❏ Power supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions,
cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects
on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC
adapter or power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over.
Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords
straight at the ends and the points where they enter and
leave the AC adapter.
❏ Use only the power-supply cords that comes with this
product. Use of another cord may result in fire or electrical
shock, or injury.
❏ The AC adapter model A431H is designed for use with the
printer with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it
with other electronic devices unless specified.
❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC
adapter's label, and always supply power directly from a
standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord
that meets the relevant local safety standards.
Warning:
w
Refer to the rating plate for the voltage and
check that the appliance voltage
corresponds to the supply voltage.
❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or
air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏ Avoid using electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers.
❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential
sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏ Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord and the AC
adapter.
❏ If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that
the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the
extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating.
Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices
plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's
ampere rating.
❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC
adapter, power cord, printer, remote controller, and options
by yourself except as specifically explained in the printer's
guides. Doing so may result in injury, electric shock, or fire.
4 Safety Instructions PictureMate PM 300 / PM 310
❏ Unplug the printer and the AC adapter, and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the
printer, remote controller, or AC adapter; the printer, remote
controller, or AC adapter has been dropped or the casing
damaged; the printer, remote controller, or AC adapter
does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered
by the operating instructions.)
❏ Do not use with wet hands.
❏ If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult
a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make
sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and
rating.
❏ If you plan to use the AC adapter in Germany, the building
installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit
breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and
over-current protection for this printer.
Note on handling the AC power cord for Singapore
users
Safety requirements
Mains plug:
Use a 2-pin mains plug that is certified to IEC 83 Standard C5.
Flexible cord:
Use a double insulated flexible cord that is certified* to the
relevant IEC or BS standards.

English
When using the printer
Observe the following when using the printer:
❏ If you use the printer in places where the use of electronic
devices is limited, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow
all instructions in those places.
❏ Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
❏ Take care not to spill liquid on the printer, remote controller,
and AC adapter.
❏ Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the photo
cartridge during printing.
❏ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases

can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer
from printing.
PictureMate PM 300 / PM 310 Safety Instructions 5
When using a memory card
When handling photo cartridges
❏ Use only memory cards compatible with the printer. See
“Inserting a Memory Card” on page 10
When using LCD screen
❏ The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or dark
spots, and because of its features it may have an uneven
brightness. These are normal and do not indicate that it is
damaged in any way.
❏ Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not
use liquid or chemical cleansers.
❏ If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the
liquid crystal solution gets on your skin, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution
gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough
flushing, see a doctor immediately.
When using the optional Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter
Refer to the Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter's
documentation for the safety instructions.
Observe the following when handling photo cartridges:
❏ Do not shake photo cartridge after removing it from the bag;
this can cause leakage.
❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this can
cause leakage.
❏ Use the photo cartridge before the date printed on the
cartridge carton.
❏ Do not disassemble or remodel the photo cartridge,
otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏ After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage
site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏ Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.
❏ The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the photo cartridge
status so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled
freely.
❏ If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If
it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor
immediately.
