Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and

interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of

your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,

or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it

is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the

requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your

hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete

safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture. ABOVE ALL...

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other

opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be

safe than sorry!

CAUTIONS

EN 3

Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use you notice that the cabinet is damaged, shut the printer down, unplug it and contact your JVC dealer. Use of the printer under these conditions can lead to fire or electric shock.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer’s power cord, or leave the cord near any heatgenerating appliance, as this can damage the cord. Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power cord. If the power cord becomes cut or otherwise damaged, contact your JVC dealer. When unplugging the printer, DO NOT pull on the cord. Hold the plug itself and remove it from the AC outlet. Use of the printer with a damaged power cord can lead to fire, electric shock and unit malfunctions.

DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or modify the printer. There are high-voltage components within the unit, and the risk of electric shock and unit malfunctions exists. If a problem occurs, contact your JVC dealer.

Illustrations of this video printer maydiffer slightly from production models.

ABOUT THERMAL HEADS

•The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located within the unit. The heads can become extremely warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not touch the thermal heads.

•When the printer is used for extended periods, the thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If condensation occurs inside the printer, it may adhere to print paper during printing, causing poor quality prints and paper jams. If you think condensation may exist within the unit, let the unit sit for at least 2 hours (with the power on) to dry sufficiently. If paper is stuck within the unit, remove it before turning the power on. Unused print paper subjected to moisture should not be used for printing.

•Condensation may occur in the following situations:

1) In a room when the heater suddenly comes on;

2) In the direct path of cool air from an air

conditioner;

3) When the unit is moved from a cool place to a

warm place.

DUST

Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the printer.

1. DO NOT place the printer . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures

or humidity. ... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields

are generated. ... on a surface that is unstable or subject to

vibration.

2. DO NOT block the printer’s ventilation openings.

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the printer.

5. AVOID violent shocks to the printer during transport.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Video data communications with the IrDA infrared communications system can be accomplished only between one transmitter and one receiver.

If a picture is sent from one digital still camera to more than one printer, the picture can be received and printed only by the printer that has first responded to the transmission.

EN 13

SET

PV-50SFAE (Standard type)

PV-25SFSAE

(Sticker type)

PV-25UFAU (Super Fine HG type)

* This unit does not incorporate a function for splitting the screen into 16 pictures. Printing on 16-picture multi-print sticker paper is impossible unless the digital still camera or the application software has a 16-picture splitting function. When multiple pictures are printed on a sheet, the print positions may vary from the intended positions.

Before Printing

● Do not touch printing side of the paper.

● Do not use paper that is torn or curled, as

this can result in paper jamming.

● Do not use paper that is wet or damp. Printing may not be possible and paper jamming may occur.

● Do not touch or pull out the ink cassette’s ink sheet.

● Keep young children away from the ink cassette’s ink sheet.

● When the ink cassette is empty, replace it with a new one. An empty ink cassette cannot be used. Do not try to rewind and re-use cassette.

● Do not expose the paper to high temperatures, high humidity and/or direct sunlight.

● You can write on one side of a PV-50SFAE print sheet.

● If you want to write something or stick a stamp on a PV-50SFAE sheet, wait until printing is finished. If you write something or stick something on before printing, the printer may not work properly.

● Carefully read the precautions in the blank paper sheet set box and on the back of the blank sheet set before using.

CONTENTS

USES

Print your favorite images, just like snapshots.

Make customized seals and stick them on greeting cards, envelopes, letters, etc.

Suitable for storing Print paper.

After Printing

● If you touch a fresh print with wet hands, the print image may be discolored.

● If a print absorbs organic cleaning solvents (alcohol, ester, keton, etc.), the colours will fade.

● If cellophane tape or soft PVC are affixed to a print, the chemical reaction will cause accelerated colour fading.

● When writing on a PV-50SFAE print sheet, be sure to use a pencil or an oil-based writing utensil. If you apply too much pressure, you’ll leave imprints on the print sheet.

Storage

● Avoid storing prints in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity, or near a heater or heat-generating device.

● Do not store prints in a soft plastic folder. Accelerated colour fading may result due to the chemical reaction, or the print(s) may stick to the file.

● Do not store 2 prints with the printed sides touching, as the sheets may stick together.

● Store print paper in its box, on a level surface. Failure to do so may cause the print paper to curl or bend, which can result in a paper jam within the unit.
