For Safe Use
●Handling Precautions
When moisture has condensed in the printer
The formation of water droplets inside the printer is referred to as condensation.
Condensation occurs in the following situations.
• When the room in which the printer is located is heated rapidly
• When cold air (from an air-conditioner, etc.) blows directly onto the printer
• When the printer is moved from a location of low humidity to a location of high humidity
When moisture has condensed in the printer, moisture will adhere to the paper, deteriorating
print quality or causing paper jams. When moisture has condensed or is likely to condense,
leave the printer on and wait until there is no possibility for condensation to occur.
Do not use solvents such as paint thinner or benzene when cleaning
Spraying the printer with insecticide or wiping with paint thinner or benzene may deteriorate
or discolor the printer cabinet. When the printer cabinet has become dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth. When soiling is particularly heavy, dampen a soft cloth with water or neutral detergent
diluted with water, and wipe off the dirt after wringing the cloth out firmly.
Do not allow the printer cabinet to be in contact with rubber or vinyl products for an
extended period of time. This can cause discoloration or peeling of the coating
Extended contact with rubber, vinyl or plastic products can cause discoloring or peeling of the
coating.
Operate the printer at least once every six months
Not operating the printer for a long period of time can impair printer function. Operate the
printer at least once every six months.
Transporting when Moving, etc.
When transporting the printer, place the printer in the packaging materials and container in
which it was packaged. When these are no longer available, package the printer with sufficient
cushioning materials so that it is able to withstand shocks and impacts during transport.
Remove the paper cassette and ink cassette from the printer before transporting.

Printer Installation
●Printer Installation Site
Provide a location for installing the printer
that is flat and stable and ensures adequate
installation space. Install the printer in a
location that is able to withstand weight of
approximately 15 kg (30 lbs).
Provide enough space in front of the
printer so that the paper output tray
can be pulled out.
When actually installing the
printer, allow enough room
around the printer so that it is at
least 10 cm (4˝) away from the
wall.
●Installing the Ink Ribbon
Caution
• P-400 ink ribbon P-RBN cannot be used in this printer for printing.
Tear off the center strip on the back of the

Open one of the flaps.
2
Caution
• When cutting open the cover sheet and tearing back the flaps, do not remove the flaps completely
from the package. Removal of the flaps will prevent you from determining the installation direction
of the ink cassette (ribbon holder).
9
Page 10
Open the flap on the opposite side.

Tip
• The procedure for installing the A6 wide-size passport ink ribbon differs from that of ink ribbon
used for ordinary printing. Follow steps 1 through 3 previously stated, but replace steps 4 and 5
with the following procedure. Then, continue with steps 6 through 11.
Take out the ink ribbon from the ink
ribbon package and remove the
stoppers from the bobbin of the ink
ribbon.

Precautions Regarding the Printer Driver
1) In the case of printing in A4 size, a minimum of 50 MB of available memory is required in the hard
disk (excluding regions using the OS and applications) in order to prepare printing data.
2) When installing the printer driver, be sure to follow the installation procedure described in this
manual to ensure proper installation.
3) If you remove the USB cable after the printer driver was installed, wait more than 5 seconds before
connecting it again. Otherwise, the printer may not operate properly. When you turn off and on the
printer or change the input selection, wait similarly.
4) Depending on the specifications or setting of the OS or PC, if processing has been interrupted while
printing is in progress, the PRINTING lamp on the printer may continue flashing. At this time,
temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on again.
5) If the printer is turned off or the power cable is removed while printing is in progress, print data may
remain in the print spooler. At this time, delete the remaining print data and then execute the next
print job.
6) While “Please Wait” is displayed on the LCD panel of the printer, printing is not being performed.
When the message disappears, printing will resumed automatically.
36
Page 37
7) While data is transferred or printing is performed, be sure not to remove the USB cable, not to
change the printer input selection, or not to turn off the printer power until printing is completed.
Otherwise, abnormal printing may be caused.
8) If processing has been interrupted while printing is in progress (while the PRINTING lamp on the
printer flashes or lights), temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on again.
9) Do not delete print jobs in the spooler while transferring data. If you delete them inadvertently,
temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on.
10) Pure white portions of the image (R = 255, G = 255, B = 255), are not adjusted. These portions of the
image will always print white.
11) If you select “ICM” for color adjustment on Windows 98/Me, the matching method is limited to
“Photo”.
12) Set the bi-directional communication function to ON in the printer properties dialog.
Use the following procedure to check that the bi-directional communication function is set to ON.
(1) Select “Start” - “Settings” and then “Printers”.
(2) Click on “OLYMPUS P-440” to select this printer , right-click to open a pop-up menu, and then
click on “Properties”.
(3) Click on “Spool Settings” in the “Details” tab.
(4) Check that “Enable bi-directional support for this printer” is checked.
13) Depending on the version of Photoshop, item “Printer color control” is displayed in the print dialog.
When printing with this setting ON after storing multiple pieces of image data in the printer spooler,
normal colors may not be printed. When printing with “Printer color control” ON, do not store
multiple pieces of image data in the spooler.
14) In some applications, the number of copies that have been set in the printer driver may not function.
Set the number of copies in the print dialog box of the application.
