CAUTIONS

EN 5

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, remove power supply unit 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 AC power adapters cords, or leave the cord near any heatgenerating appliance, as this can damage the cords. Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power cords. If the power cords becomes cut or otherwise damaged, contact your JVC dealer. When unplugging the AC power adapter, 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.

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.

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 place heavy objects on the printer.

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

4. 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.

Illustrations of this printer may differ slightly from production models.

Battery Packs

The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

1. Turn on the power.

2. Set “power save” to “off” and remove the batteries when the power is automatically turned off.

1. To avoid hazard . . .

.... do not burn.

.... do not short-circuit the terminals.

.... do not modify or disassemble.

.... do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

.... use only specified chargers.

2. To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

.... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

.... charge in an environment where tempera-

tures are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure

to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

.... fully charge and then fully discharge the

battery once a year when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

.... remove from charger or powered unit when

not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

●

It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging .................10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)

Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

Storage ................... –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)

●

Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).

●

The lower the temperature, the longer recharging takes.

CAUTIONS

About Batteries

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries

apart, or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as there is a risk of fire or explosion.

WARNING! Do not allow the battery terminals, or the battery itself, to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but possess a large power capacity. However, when the battery pack becomes cool in an environment subject to cold temperatures (below 10°C (50˚F)), the battery pack has a characteristic that its usage time becomes shorter and may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If you’re using some kind of heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with the pad.)

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

Serious malfunctioning

If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.

The printer is a microcomputer-controlled device. External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. In such cases, first disconnect its power supply unit (battery pack, AC Power Adapter/Battery Charger, etc.) and then reconnect it and proceed as usual from the beginning.

•Do not use printing paper that has been folded or curled to avoid paper jams.

•Do not use wet or humid printing paper as it will not print normally and could cause a paper jam.

•Do not touch or write on the print surface.

•Do not touch or pull out the ink sheets in the ink cassette.

•Make sure that children do not lick or ingest the ink sheets.

•Used ink cassettes should be replaced with new cartridges. Old cartridges cannot be reused. Do not attempt to reuse the cartridge by rewinding the rollers.

•Printing paper and ink cassettes must not be stored in a location exposed to high temperatures, high humidity or directsunlight.

•Read the instructions accompanying the printing paper and ink cassette and use them accordingly.

After printing

•The printer applies a coating to make the prints glossy.

•The colors will fade if the paper is exposed to volatile solvents (alcohol, toluene, ketone, etc.).

•Do not paste adhesive tape on the print surface. The image will be damaged when the tape is removed.

Care in storing prints

•Printed paper must not be stored in a location exposed to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.

· The printer was placed on its side or on a leaning surface.

●Remove a jammed paper according to instructions on page 44.

●Is the video cable correctly connected?

●Is the TV input selector set to “Video (external input)”?

●The input terminal has priority.

●Is the TV showing the stored image (memory image)?

Set the “monitor” menu to “input pic”.

●The stored image is deleted when the power is turned off. Store the image again.

●The color may differ somewhat from the image displayed on the TV. This is not due to any defect of the printer.

●Image adjustment is not possible when the menu input mode is something other than video.

●The printed image is not clean when dirt or dust adheres to the printing paper. Dirt and dust can also cause equipment breakdown.

●Due to the reflection of light, stripes may appear on the printed surface. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.

●The tint and brightness of the printed image may differ from the image as it is displayed on the TV connected to the printer. This is normal and not a failure.
