CAUTIONS

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.

DO NOT block the printer’s ventilation openings.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.

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

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.

You must use one of the sets shown in the following chart:

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.

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.
