Simple Printer Care
■ Printer Care
1.
Do not open the film door until all film exposures have
been used, doing so will prematurely expose the remaining
film and render it unusable.
2.
Your printer is a fragile object. Do not expose it to water, sand
or gritty materials.
3.
Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt.
4.
Keep the film chamber and printer interior clean to avoid
damaging films.
5.
Do not leave your printer in direct sunlight or hot places such
as the inside of a car. Do not leave the printer in damp places
for prolonged periods.
6.
Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may affect your
printer and prints. Take care to keep your printer and prints in a
safe, dry place.
7.
Note that the temperature range within which your printer can
operate is +5°C to +40°C.
8.
Take great care to ensure that printed materials do not violate
copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal rights and
do not offend public decency. Actions that violate the rights of
others, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisance
may be punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.
9.
This printer is designed for household use. It is not suitable for
commercial use.
■ Charging the Battery

temperatures above +40 °C or at temperatures below +5 °C as
the battery will not charge.
