INSTALLATION
1. Grounding or Polarization

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 type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

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.
Make sure that you have easy access to the AC outlet which the printer is plugged into so that it can be immediately unplugged in case of emergency. Connect the printer power plug to a different AC outlet from the TV and VCR.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.

PREPARATION
You are now ready to print. For specific printing instructions, read the page corresponding to the type of printing you want to do (pages 18 through 37).
About Color Print Paper Sheet Sets (optional)
You must use one of the sets shown in the following chart:
13
SET
PV-50SFAU (Standard type)
PV-25SFSAU (Sticker type)
PV-25UFAU (Glossy type)
If printing on a PV-25SFSAU print sheet, the image may be slightly offset from its proper position.
Before Printing
Do not touch the 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 the back side of a PV­50SFAU 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.
Make customized picture postcards, greeting cards, etc. with less color fading compared to standard 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 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.
