radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This equipment may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this
equipment must accept any interference
received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

Notes on Use
•
•
•
Usage locations
Printer usage location
Do not use in the following locations:
• Locations subject to a lot of dust or lint, as this may lead to inability to print cleanly.
• In direct sunlight, near an air conditioner, or in any other location where temperature
may rise above 95°F (35°C) or fall below 41°F (5°C). There is a risk of causing
malfunction, deformation, or damage to the printer.
• On a piano or a carpeted surface. There is a risk of causing damage or discoloration.
• Where it can be exposed to tobacco smoke. There is a risk of causing the printer to
malfunction.
Keep away from magnetic and/or electronic hardware.
In order to prevent adverse electromagnetic effects, be sure to operate as far away as
possible from the following type of appliances.
• Mobile phones, microwave ovens, electronic game units and stereo speakers.
Do not use the printer vertically.
This may cause the printer to malfunction.
If the printer’s inner components overheat
When the ambient temperature is high or when continuous printing has been performed,
printing operations may temporarily halt in order to keep the internal temperature of the
printer from rising. Printing will automatically resume when the internal temperature of the
printer goes down. Ensure that the printer is used in a well-ventilated location.
When ambient temperatures are low
To maintain high quality image output, the printer does not begin printing until the internal
temperature has warmed up, so it may take some time before printing starts. Printing starts
automatically once the temperature has risen sufficiently.
To prevent the printer deformation and keep the case finish
Do not spill or allow any volatile solvents, such as benzine, paint thinner, or other solvents
or insecticide to come in contact with the printer. Also, do not maintain contact with the
printer by rubber or vinyl-coated materials for an extended period of time. This may damage
the surface of the printer or cause the case finish to peel.
Required space during printing
Paper is ejected and inserted from the rear panel of this printer during printing.
Do not place any objects within 8.7Ǝ (220 mm) of the rear panel of the printer. This may lead
to paper jams.

Storage
Before Use
Storing paper and ink cassettes
After use, remove the paper cassette from the printer, close the cassette lid, leaving any
remaining paper in the paper cassette. Then insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and
store so that it lies flat.
Avoid placing the paper and ink cassette in locations subject to high temperature, high
humidity or direct sunlight. After opening the original packaging, use all the paper as soon
as possible.
When the printer is not to be used for an extended period of time
• To conserve electric power, turn off the printer’s power and disconnect the power cord.
(The printer will continue to consume approximately 1.5 W of power even after the unit
is turned off by pressing the POWER button if it is plugged in.) Leaving the printer idle
for long periods may impair functionality. Make sure you turn the printer’s power on and
operate the printer at least once every six months.
• Remove the paper cassette, ink cassette and memory card from the printer. Then close
the printer covers.

Paper and Ink Cassettes (Sold Separately)
• Starter kit is included (5 sheets of postcard size paper).
Use only paper and ink cassettes in the Paper and Ink set described below.
Do not use postcard and ink jet type paper.
(This will cause paper jams and the printer to malfunction.)
• Protective coating is applied to the images that printed using paper and ink in the Paper and
Ink set, so that print quality can be maintained over an extended period of time.
• Ensure that only the ink cassette and papers, which come together as part of a set, are used
with the printer. The ink cassettes included in the Paper and Ink set provide enough ink to
print the number of sheets included in the Paper and Ink set. Always replace the ink cassette
when using a new Paper and Ink set. Paper and ink cassettes are not sold separately.

Important
• Before using a Paper and Ink set, ensure that you acclimatize the Paper and Ink set to
the ambient temperature prior to opening. In particular, if the Paper and Ink set has been
stored at a low temperature, condensation may occur due to the difference in temperatures
p. 96, “Condensation”).
(
• Avoid storing paper and ink cassettes in places subject to high temperature, high humidity or
direct sunlight. This may lead to deterioration of print quality or prevent printing capability.
18
Handling of paper and ink cassettes
During printing
• Do not open the ink cassette compartment cover, as print quality may be reduced.
• Do not remove the paper cassette or ink cassette.
• Do not pull the paper while it is moving.
• Be sure to remove printed paper before 10 or more sheets have piled up. Failure to do so
may result in a paper jam. Be particularly sure to remove paper with a high degree of curl
before it piles up.
• Do not touch the print surface with your fingers.
After printing
• Do not remove unused sheets of paper from the paper cassette. Close the cassette lid, then
insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and store so that it lies flat.
• After removing the paper cassette, close the paper cassette compartment cover to prevent
dust from getting inside the printer.
• Remove the ink cassette and store it in a plastic bag or other safe container.
Handling printed paper
• Pay special attention to the following, otherwise discoloration, fading and color transfer may
occur.
• Do not allow objects such as vinyl desk mats, name card cases, or plastic erasers to come
in contact with the printed surfaces. When storing printed paper in an album, select holder
sleeves made of nylon, polypropylene or cellophane.
• Do not allow any volatile solvents such as alcohol to come in contact with the printed
surface.
• Do not touch the printed surface.
• Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one another, or place any other papers on
printed surfaces for a certain period of time.
• Do not store printed paper in locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or direct
sunlight.
• When writing on a printed surface, use permanent markers (oil-based) only. You may use
permanent markers (oil-based), water-based markers, pencils and oil-based ball point pens
to write on the back of printed papers.
• You can use printed images for your personal enjoyment. Copyright laws prevent their use in
any other way without the written permission of the copyright holders.
• Do not reuse paper that has already been printed on.
Preparation
Note
• When cutting paper after printing, fold the
paper along the perforated line. Then reverse
the fold in the opposite direction and cut the
paper along the folded line.
