IMPORTANT PRODUCT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. This product has been engineered and
manufactured to assure your personal safety. In order not to
defeat the built-in safeguards, observe the following basic
rules for its installation, use and servicing.
ATTENTION:
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on
your product and its operating instructions. For your safety,
please read all the safety and operating instructions before
you operate this product and keep this manual for future
reference.
INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization
(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
2. Power Sources
Operate your product only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the

dealer or local power company. If your product is intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
3. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
4. Power Cord Protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
3
5. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and

CAUTIONS
5
If you notice smoke or a peculiar smell coming from
the printer, shut it down and unplug it
IMMEDIATELY. Use of the printer under these
conditions could lead to fire
or electric shock. Contact
your JVC dealer. DO NOT
attempt to repair the
malfunction yourself.
DO NOT attempt to insert foreign objects into the
printer, as this can lead to electric shock or fire. If
an object other than print
paper is accidentally
inserted, shut the printer
down, unplug it and
contact your JVC dealer.
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.
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
color 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.

(Sticker type)
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 a PV-50SFAU
print sheet.
● If you want to write something or stick a
stamp on a PV-50SFAU 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 color
print paper sheet set box and on the back of
the color print paper sheet set before using.
• Standard Print Paper (50 Sheets)
• Ink Cassette (50 Prints)
• Sticker Print Paper (25 Sheets)
• Ink Cassette (25 Prints)
CONTENTS
USES
Print your favorite images, just like
snapshots.
Make customized seals and stick
them on greeting cards, envelopes,
letters, etc.
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 colors will
fade.
● If cellophane tape or soft PVC are affixed to
a print, the chemical reaction will cause
accelerated color fading.
● When writing on a PV-50SFAU 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 color 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.
