Precautions for Safety
(Be sure to read this chapter completely.)
■ Please read the following explanations
carefully before using this Color Video
Printer to ensure correct and safe operation.
■ Keep these Instructions handy for later
reference, in case you want to look up
something in the future.
Placement
•Place the Printer on a stable,horizontal surface.
Do not place any heavy object on it, because it
could unbalance the Printer and cause it to drop.
This could result in damage to the Printer and
serious injury to persons.
If the Printer has dropped, turn off the power and
unplug the Power Cable, then contact your dealer.
Continuing to use it in damaged condition is
dangerous as it poses the risk of fire or electric
shock.
•Do not step on the Printer. Especially, pay close
attention that children do not step on the unit and
damage it.
•Keep water and other liquids away from the

Precautions for Safety
(Cont’d)
Cautions for Use
Modifying or Disassembling the Color Video Printer
•Never remove the cabinet and never try to modify
or disassemble the Printer. This could cause a fire
or electric shock. For checking, adjustment and
repair of internal parts, consult your dealer.
In Case of Abnormal Operation
If the Printer emits smoke or an unusual smell,
immediately turn off the power and disconnect the
Power Cable from the wall outlet. Make sure that
the smoke stops and then have your dealer check
and, if necessary, repair the Printer. Do not try to

openings of the Printer such as the Ink Cassette
Compartment. It could cause an electric shock.
•Caution them against stepping on the Printer, or
hanging on to it. It could cause serious damage
and injury.
• Prevent them from inserting small objects into the
ventilation holes. It could cause a fire or electric
shock.
Precautions for Chemicals
• Be careful not to expose the Printer to insecticide
spray or volatile solvent such as benzine and
thinner. They could damage the surface of plastic
parts and cause the coating of the metal parts to
fade or peel off.
•Do not leave rubber and vinyl products in contact
with the Printer for a long time. They could
damage the surface of plastic parts and cause the
coating of the metal parts to fade or peel off.
Precautions for Transport
•Be sure to disconnect the plug of the Power Cable
from the wall outlet.
•Hold the unit securely and take care not to bump it
against other objects and not to drop it.
•When transporting the Printer long distances,
such as when moving, use the Printer’s original
packing case or wrap it in a large towel or blanket
to protect it against possible shocks.
When Not in Use
When not using the Printer on a daily basis:
•Turn the Printer off.
•Before going out or leaving on a longer trip, make
sure to disconnect the Power Cable from the wall
outlet.
As long as the Power Cable remains connected to
the wail outlet, the Printer consumes approx. 4 W
of power), even if it is turned off.
•Not using the Printer for a very long time could
cause its performance to deteriorate, therefore, it
should be activated from time to time.
32
Page 33
Cleaning
• For safety reasons, unplug the Printer's Power
Cable before cleaning.
•Wipe the cabinet and operation panel with a soft
cloth.
•When the Printer is very dirty, use a cloth
moistened with water and mild detergent, and
then wipe with a dry cloth.
•When using a chemical cloth, follow its
instructions.
Temperature Inside the Printer
•The internal temperature depends on the ambient
temperature and the Printer’s operation condition.
If the temperature rises above a certain level, the
[ERROR] Lamp flashes and the Error Message
“WAIT: COOLING” appears on the TV screen. In
this case, the Printer automatically stops printing
temporarily. This is not a malfunction. Wait for a
while (max. 4-5 minutes). As soon as the
temperature has dropped to a normal level,
printing will resume automatically.
•In the following cases, it may take considerably
more than 4-5 minutes until printing is resumed.
O When more than 10 prints are made in quick
succession.
0 When the surrounding temperature is high,
e When the ventilation holes are blocked and the
temperature inside the unit builds up.
Therefore, be sure to place the Printer in a
well-ventilated location.
Condensation
When condensation has formed inside the Printer,
the [ERROR] Lamp flashes and the Printer cannot
be operated. In this case, leave the Printer on and
wait for approx. 2 hours. After the humidity inside
the Printer has returned to a normal level, it will
operate again.
•The first print made after condensation has been
cleared up may be blurred because the paper and
the roller may not yet be completely dry,
•As condensation forms gradually, it may take
about 10-15 minutes before the [ERROR] Lamp
flashes.
After a sudden change in the room temperature
and humidity, confirm that the [ERROR] Lamp
does not flash, before using the Printer.
•The cooling fan is automatically activated when
condensation has formed or the temperature
inside the Printer has risen above a certain level.
As soon as the condensation has been resolved
or the internal temperature has reached a normal
level, the cooling fan automatically stops.
Conditions for Condensation:
Condensation may form if the Printer or the Video
Print Set is brought to a place with very different
temperature and/or humidity.
•Places with much steam and high humidity.
•When rrioving the Printer or the Video Print Set
from a cold or air-conditioned room to a place with
high temperature and humidity.
•A room where the heater has just been turned on.

Cautions for Use (Cont’d)
Printing Paper and ink Cassette
To reduce the risk of deterioration of the picture
quaiity or malfunction of the Printer, be sure to
observe the foilowing points:
■ Notes for Loading the Video Print Set
• Use only Video Print Sets bearing the “ "
logotype.
•To obtain optimum picture quality, use only the
Printing Paper and the Ink Cassette packed
together as a set in the same box.
• Be careful not to stain the ink film in the Ink
Cassette and the printing side of paper with
fingerprints. Do not write on the Printing Paper
before printing.
• Be careful that the Printing Paper and the Ink
Cassette do not become dusty before printing.
•The picture will be printed on the glossy side of the
paper (the side without any printed markings).
Be sure to load the paper with the glossy side
facing upward into the Printer. If loaded
incorrectly, printing is not possible.
• If the ink film in the Ink Cassette is loose, tighten it
by turning the spool in the direction of arrow
before loading.
• tf the Print Set was stored in a cool place, wait until
it has adapted to the room temperature, before
opening it.
•Do not let more than 10 prints accumulate at the
Print Exit. It could cause a paper jam.
• Do not print again on a finished print.
•Never use wet or bent Printing Paper or a wet Ink
Cassette.
■ Notes for Storing the Video Print Set
• Do not leave the Ink Cassette and Printing Paper
in places with high temperature and humidity for a
long time. It could cause inferior printing quality.
To store them, avoid high temperature and
humidity and return them into the bags in which
they were originally packed.
• Put the paper back into the original bag and store
it flat. If stored standing on its side, the paper
could become bent and warped, and this could
cause, paper jam during printing.
• Do not expose the paper to direct sunlight for a
long time. It could cause inferior picture quality.
■ Notes for Handling Finished Prints
• Do not stick adhesive tape to the printing side of
prints nor leave the printing side in contact with
vinyl products, plastic erasers, or similar objects.
This could cause discoloration, color transfer or
other damage to the prints due to chemical
reaction.
•Do not spray or spill any liquid containing thinner,
alcohol, etc. on the prints. This could cause
discoloration of the prints.
•Never leave the printing side of two prints in
contact with each other. This could cause color
transfer.
•Avoid storing the prints in places with high
temperature or humidity, or places exposed to
direct sunlight for a long time. This could reduce
the picture quality of the prints.
• If the prints are stacked and pressed together or if
they are left in contact with other paper for a long
time, some color transfer may occur.
•When storing the pictures in an album, it is
recommended to use one with transparent
pockets made of cellophane, nylon or materials
similar to nylon.
■ Other Cautions
•Unauthorized printing of copyrighted material for
commercial purposes is copyright infringement.
• If the Video Print Set has a defect or flaw caused
by the manufacturing process, it can be
exchanged for a new set of the same type. For any
other defects, however, the manufacturer shall not
be responsible.
The following two types of Video Print Sets can be
used with this Video Color Printer.
(Use only the specified Video Print Sets and Video
Print Ink Cassettes bearing the “ ” logotype.)
■ When Using the Optional Video Print Set
(VW-MPS50P) (50 sheets)
•Do not affix any stamps or labels to the Printing
Paper and do not write on the paper with a
typewriter, etc. before printing. This could cause a
paper jam.
•Do not write on the paper before printing.
•To write on the printing side of the paper after
printing, use a permanent marker (felt pen with
oil-based ink).
•Writing on the back side of the paper is possible
with felt pens with oil- or water-based ink, pencils,
bail-point pens, etc. Exerting strong pressure
when writing by hand may cause traces to remain
on the printing side.
■ When Using the Optional Video Print Set
(VW-MPSS25P) (25 sheets/set)
•Do not peel the backing (marked side) off the
adhesive paper before printing. This could cause
a paper jam.
•Before attaching the print, wipe dust and dirt from
the surface (paper, glass, plastic, metal, etc.) of
the object where it is to be attached.
•When cutting out part of a print to use as adhesive
label after printing, use a single-sheet cutter and
cut with the backing still attached.
