of time
Unplug the printer if it will not be used for an extended period of
time, such as while you are away on a long trip.
Otherwise, deteriorated insulation or current leakage may cause fire
or electric shock.
Care and storage
Protect against moisture condensation
Moisture condensation is water vapor in the air that becomes liquid, and collects on
the printer surface.
This phenomenon occurs under the following conditions.
The room in which the printer is placed is rapidly heated or cooled.
The printer is directly subjected to cool air, such as from an air conditioner.
The printer is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
Moisture in the air condenses on the paper, deteriorating print quality or causing
paper jams.
Under conditions where condensation has occurred or may occur, do not operate
the printer until it is dry or until there is no possibility that condensation will occur.
ENGLISH
Do not spray on or allow volatile solvents to come in
contact with the printer
Spraying an insecticide near the printer, or wiping it with thinner or benzene for
example, may damage or discolor the printer cabinet.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the printer cabinet. For difficult to remove
stains, dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild detergent diluted with water, and
wring out the cloth to remove as much of the moisture as possible before wiping the
outside of the cabinet.
Do not allow the printer to be in contact with rubber
or plastic products for an extended period of time
Deterioration and discoloration may occur if the printer is in contact with rubber or
plastic products for an extended period of time.
Operate the printer at least once every six months
If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, it may malfunction.
Operate the printer at least once every six months.
Carry the printer with both hands
When lifting or carrying the printer, use both hands.
Transport the printer carefully
Introduction
Preparation Printing
For Your
Reference
When transporting the printer, place it in the original box with the original packing
material. If you don’t have the original packaging, pack the printer with enough
cushioning material to absorb any impacts during transportation.

What this printer can do
Direct Print
The printer supports the PictBridge standard for communication
between a digital camera and printer. If you connect a PictBridge
compatible digital camera to the printer using the USB cable supplied
with the digital camera, you can print pictures directly from the digital
camera.
Variety of prints
The printer supports multi prints where multiple copies of the same
picture are printed on one sheet, index prints where multiple different
pictures are printed on one sheet, date prints where the date and time
are included, and edged (bordered)/not edged (borderless) prints.
Note
Some functions may be limited depending on the digital camera
connected.
Introduction
For Your
Reference
Printing from a computer
If you connect a computer to the printer using a commercially available
USB cable, you can print pictures stored on the computer.
We recommend using OLYMPUS Master or OLYMPUS Master Plus for
easy printing and management of your digital pictures.
High-quality overcoat printing
High-quality overcoat printing ensures long lasting and durable prints.
This is especially useful for printing important pictures you wish to
treasure for years to come.
Printing 50 sheets continuously
The supplied paper tray can continuously supply up to 50 sheets of
paper to the printer. A single sheet takes about 30 seconds to print (for
3.5" × 5" paper, this excludes the data transmission time from the digital
camera or computer).

Note
ENGLISHPreparationPrinting Introduction
Always use specialty paper. Using paper other than specialty paper
such as inkjet printer paper may cause a printer failure such as paper
becoming jammed or sticking to the ink ribbon.
Do not touch the print surface (the blank,
glossy surface) when handling paper.
Do not store paper in a place subject to high temperature, high humidity, or
direct sunlight.
Do not leave paper in a place subject to excessive dust. Fingerprints or
dust on the print surface may degrade print quality.
Up to 50 sheets of paper can be placed in the paper tray. Be careful not to
exceed this number when loading additional paper. Loading too many
sheets of paper may cause a paper jam.
Folding or bending paper may cause a paper jam.
Do not write on paper before printing a picture on it. If you want to write
something, use an oil based pen after printing. It is not possible to print
characters on this paper from a word processor or typewriter.
