Paper That Can Be Used for Printing

The Digital Photo Printer can use the following three types of paper. (Use Print Sets that either bear the mark or have been designated by Panasonic as suitable for this Digital Photo Printer)

■Standard paper

The Print Set PV-MPS50 is required. (Sold separately: Ink Cassette and paper [50

sheets])

•This paper can be used as a postcard if a postage stamp is affixed.

•Do not affix stamps or adhesive paper to the paper or print on it with a word processor before printing. The paper may become curled, or the

stamp may come off, resulting in a paper jam or

malfunction in the Photo Printer.

•Do not write on the paper before printing on it with the Photo Printer,

•When writing on a printed surface, use a permanent marker (oil-based). In this case, do

not allow printed surfaces to come into contact

with each other.

• Permanent markers, washable markers, pencils, and ballpoint pens can all be used to write on the

back of the printed images. However, be careful

not to apply too much pressure when writing on the back since this will leave marks on the printed surface.

■Adhesive paper

The Print Set PV-MPAS25 is required. (Sold separately: Ink Cassette and adhesive paper

[25 sheets])

•Do not peel off the adhesive before printing. This can cause a paper jam or malfunction in the Photo Printer.

•When affixing the adhesive paper to another surface (paper, glass, plastic, metal, etc.), carefully clean the surface of all dirt and foreign

matter.

•When cutting off adhesive paper after printing, use a “one-sheet cutter" (available at stores) to

cut the adhesive paper with the backing paper still in place.

■16 Pre-Cut Adhesive paper

The Print Set PV-MPAS16 is required. (Sold separately: Ink Cassette and 16 Pre-Cut

Adhesive paper [25 sheets])

•Do not peel off the adhesive before printing.

This can cause a paper jam or malfunction in the Photo Printer.

•When affixing the adhesive paper to another

surface (paper, glass, plastic, metal, etc.), carefully clean the surface of all dirt and foreign matter.

•This paper cannot be used for wide-mode

printing.

•Adjusting SHARPNESS has no effect on

television picture quality.

• Images are stored in the PC Card without the

setting adjustments made to the picture quality.

When using video input, one of the most important factors in printing images of high

quality is skillful video camera work. When

printing, it is recommended that you use an SVIDEO IN Socket for best results. When shooting a scene from a Video Camera, keep the following points in mind.

•If at all possible, shoot with the light source at your back.

•When shooting a scene outdoors that includes motion, either put the Video Camera into “sports mode” or, if the camera is equipped with an electronic shutter function, set it to about 1/500. Doing so will allow you to print images without blurring,

•When shooting indoors, make sure that there is enough illumination.

Precautions

■Precautions when using the Digital Photo Printer

•If the Photo Printer emits smoke, becomes

unusually hot, or gives off an unusual smell, turn

off the printer and unplug it.

• If water or other foreign matter gets inside the

printer, turn off the printer and unplug it.

• If the surface of the printer becomes broken or

cracked, turn off the printer and unplug it.

• If the power cable is damaged (such as the core

wires being exposed), turn off the printer and

unplug it.

• Do not use the Photo Printer in any way which

overloads the electric outlet or wiring. Also, only AC 120 V should be used as the power supply for the Photo Printer.

• Make sure the plug is properly plugged in when

using the Photo Printer.

• Do not damage the power cable or plug.

• Remove dust or other foreign matter adhering to

the power plug.

•Do not place the Photo Printer on unsteady,

inclined, or other unstable surfaces.

• Do not place flower vases, containers with water,

or small metal objects on the Photo Printer.

• Do not drop or insert metal or flammable objects

inside the Photo Printer.

•Do not splash or wet the Photo Printer.

• Do not disassemble or remodel the Photo Printer.

• Do not touch the metal parts on the Photo Printer

or the plug during a thunderstorm.

•Do not unplug with wet hands.

•Do not place the Photo Printer in locations with

smoke, steam, high humidity, large amounts of dust, or severe vibrations.

• Do not install the Photo Printer in such a way that

the power cable is forcibly bent.

• Do not cover the ventilation holes on the Photo

Printer.

•Do not place heavy objects on the Photo Printer.

•Do not move the Photo Printer with the power

cable plugged in.

• Do not unplug by pulling on the power cable.

• Remove the plug from the outlet as a safety

measure when cleaning the Photo Printer or

when the Photo Printer will not be used for a long

period of time.

• Do not touch any internal components other than those specified.

•Do not remove the Paper Cassette while printing is in progress. During printing, the paper moves forward and backward three times. You can be cut if you touch the paper during this operation.

■Notes on Handling the Ink Cassettes, Ink

Cassette Film, Paper Cassette, and Paper To ensure high-quality, precise printing, always observe the following points. Failure to observe these points can not only result in poor-quality prints, but also paper jams or breakdown of the Photo Printer.

• Use only the specified paper. Use Print Sets that carry the MP| mark or that have been specified for use with this Photo Printer by Panasonic.

• Use the Ink Cassette with the paper provided in the same box. One Ink Cassette is designed to provide enough ink film to print the number of sheets provided in that Print Set.

•Do not remove the label from the Ink Cassette. Doing so could lead to mistaken operation.

•Before loading an Ink Cassette, take up any slack in the ink film (wide tape inside the Ink Cassette). The slack can be taken up by turning the spool in the direction of the arrow.

•Make sure that the Ink Cassette is oriented properly and insert it all of the way in.

•Do not touch or pull on the ink film.

• Do not get fingerprints or dust on the ink film or on the paper.

• Do not get the ink film or the paper wet.

• Do not touch the Ink Cassette or the Paper Cassette while printing is in progress. The Ink Cassette cannot be taken out white printing is in progress. Forcibly pulling out the Ink Cassette, loading too much paper, or applying strong pressure or vibrations to the Paper Cassette could result in a paper jam or other malfunction, (Do not take out the Paper Cassette and add paper while printing is in progress.)

•Do not attempt to reuse an empty Ink Cassette or paper which has already been printed on. Doing so could result in malfunction or breakdown of the Photo Printer.

Precautions (Cont)

• Fan the paper thoroughly before placing it in the Paper Cassette. Sheets that adhere to other sheets can cause a paper jam.

•Do not fold or bend the paper. If a postcard is curled, remove the curl before attempting to use the postcard in the printer.

•Do not load the paper upside-down. The glossy side of the paper with no markings on it is the printing side. The paper should be loaded with this side facing up.

• Do not write on the paper before printing on it. This could lead to mistaken operation.

•Do not load too much paper in the Paper Cassette. No more than 25 sheets should be loaded.

•Allow the Print Set to adjust to the ambient temperature before using it. If the Print Set has been stored at a low temperature, condensation could form on the paper when brought into a warmer room. Do not open the Print Set package until it has reached the room temperature.

• Do not leave printed paper above the Paper Cassette (in the Print Exit).

Do not allow more than 10 sheets to accumulate

above the Paper Cassette.

• Do not place foreign objects above the Paper Cassette (in the Print Exit).

■Notes on Print Set Storage

•Do not store the Ink Cassettes or paper under

high temperatures or high humidity. Doing so could result in a deterioration of printing

quality.

• Do not store the paper on end.

Store the paper fiat in its original silver bag.

•Do not store Ink Cassettes or paper in a location

exposed to direct sunlight. Doing so will result in a deterioration of printing

quality. The Ink Cassette and paper could even

become unusable.

•After using the Photo Printer, remove the Ink

Cassette and paper and put them back in storage. If the Ink Cassette is left in the Photo Printer, slack will develop in the ink film and dust will collect, which may make high-quality printing impossible. In order to keep leftover paper in optimum condition for as long as possible, remove the

V»

paper from the Photo Printer, and then place it in

the original silver bag for storage.

■Notes on Handling Finished Prints In order to preserve finished prints in the best condition, always observe the following points. Failure to observe these points could result in a deterioration of print quality or a slight injury.

• Do not affix cellophane tape to the printed surface.

•Do not touch the printed surface with your fingers.

• Do not let the printed surface come into contact with other objects. Do not let the following materials in particular come into contact with the printed surface:

- Desk pads or business card cases made of vinyl

- Erasers made of plastic

• Do not spill or apply volatile solvents such as alcohol to the printed surface.

Doing so could result in discoloration or fading.

•Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one another.

Doing so could cause color transfer between the two images. Color transfer could also occur if a printed surface is left in contact with any other type of paper under pressure for an extended

period of time.

•Do not store prints under conditions of high temperature or high humidity.

Leaving prints under such conditions for an extended period of time could cause a deterioration in print quality. Do not leave prints exposed to direct sunlight.

•When prints are to be stored in an album, select an album that has nylon pockets. Other materials could cause color transfer or discoloration.

(Polypropylene and cellophane are also acceptable materials.)

■Notes on Handling the Digital Photo Printer

•Do not spray insecticides or other volatile materials on the printer. If such materials come into contact with the printer, they can damage the surface of the printer or cause the finish to peel. Also, do not leave rubber or vinyl materials in contact with the printer for an extended period of time.

•When the printer will not be used for an extended period of time: To conserve electric power, turn off the printer

Page 49

and unplug it. Leaving the printer idle for long periods can impair its functionality. Be sure to turn the power on and operate the printer once every six months.

•When transporting the printer by car or truck: Pack the printer carefully in its original packing

materials. If you did not retain the packing materials, wrap the printer carefully in a blanket or other cushioning material to protect it. {Before transporting the Photo Printer, be sure to first remove the Paper Cassette and Ink Cassette, and then close the cover.)

■Maintenance Notes

• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or other

solvents to clean the printer.

Most of the printer surface is plastic. Do not use

solvents such as benzene and paint thinner to wipe the printer since they can damage the surface of the printer and cause the surface to

peel.

To clean the printer surface, wipe up any dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the Photo Printer is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in kitchen detergent (neutral) diluted with water and wring out thoroughly. Then, wipe off the dust with the cloth, and wipe again with a dry cloth. When using a synthetic cloth, follow the precautions in the usage instructions.

•When dust accumulates around the ventilation

holes on top of the printer: After removing the Ink Cassette, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from the ventilation holes. Dust that enters the printer through the ventilation holes can adhere to the ink film,

making high-quality printing impossible. In this

event, remove the Ink Cassette, and then clean the dust off the ink film.

■Installation Notes

• Install the Photo Printer away from devices that generate magnetic fields

The magnetic fields generated by stereo speakers or large monitors will distort the image produced by the Photo Printer.

Electromagnetic waves produced in this Photo Printer and in televisions, video game machines,

and other devices can cause mutual interference, disrupting both the display on the television screen and the print image.

■Internal Temperature

•Although it varies with the ambient temperature, if the internal temperature of the Photo Printer rises above a certain level, the ERROR Lamp will flash

and the error message “WAIT: COOLING” will appear on the television screen. In this situation,

the printing operation will halt temporarily. This is

not a malfunction. After waiting for a few minutes

for the temperature to drop (four or five minutes

at the most), the Photo Printer will automatically resume printing.

•The printing operation may be halted temporarily in any of the following cases, which will result in a longer than normal printing time:

- When printing images continuously

- When the ambient temperature is high

- When the internal temperature of the printer rises quickly because the ventilation holes or other parts are blocked.

•Note that if two or more of these conditions exist, printing will take even longer. Therefore, make every effort to find a well-ventilated location for installing this printer.

■Condensation

•When a bottle is taken out from a refrigerator in summer and left to stand for a while for instance, droplets of water will form on it. This phenomenon is known as condensation.

•Conditions for condensation Condensation will form if the printer or Print Set is moved to a location with a considerable

difference in temperature or humidity, such as:

- A high-humidity location, such as one filled with steam

- When suddenly moved from an air-conditioned environment to one with high temperatures and high humidity

- A room that has just been heated

In this event, turn the power on and wait for two hours. If the paper or rollers are damp with condensation, the printed surface that is produced may be dirty.

■About Functions Q1: When printing, what are the differences

between “Photo Shot” and normal video?

A1: When an image is shot using the “Photo

Shot” function of a Digital Video Camera, the result wiil be a high-quality image with little noise or distortion. Therefore, a print of this image wiil be of higher quality than a print of a normal video image.

Q2: What kinds of Video Cameras can be

connected to the Digital Photo Printer?

A2: Any type of Video Camera that is equipped

with either an S-VIDEO OUT Socket or a VIDEO OUT Socket can be used, (p.9)

Q3: Can a title or trimming frame be input

from a camera?

A3: You can input your own titles or trimming

frames by shooting them with a Video Camera, (p.42 - 45)

Q4: How should I adjust the level settings

when storing the trimming frame?

A4: The level adjustments are similar to the

darkness adjustment on a copy machine.

Under normal conditions, you do not need to adjust the settings. However, if the trimming frame which you created shows unwanted

tines, then reduce the level of the trimming frame for the best appearance, (p.43)

Q8: Is it possible to insert a title for each

ALBUM Mode screen?

A8: No, it is not possible in ALBUM Mode. It is

possible in MULTI FRAME Mode, but it is not possible to insert a different title for each mini-frame.

Q9: Which should I use, the S-VIDEO IN

Socket or the VIDEO IN Socket?

A9: When connecting a device that has an S-

VIDEO OUT Socket, it is best to use the SVIDEO IN Socket. Doing so will provide the best print quality. If devices are connected to both the SVIDEO IN Socket and the VIDEO IN Socket, the S-VIDEO IN Socket takes precedence. (p.9)

Q10: What should I do if a paper jam occurs?

A10: Remove the paper from either the O Rear

Paper Removal Port or the 0 Print Exit (above the Paper Cassette). If the paper cannot be removed, turn off the printer. Then, turn the printer on again and remove the paper from either O or Q- If paper still cannot be removed, please contact your nearest Panasonic Dealer. (p.15)

Q5: Can the Digital Photo Printer print images

from HDTV broadcasts?

A5: No, because the video signals are different. Q6: What should I do about poor coloring?

A6: The most important factor is the coloring of

the original shot of the image. The color and other parameters can be adjusted by

selecting “PICTURE” on the MENU Screen. (P-18)

Q7: When I adjust the coloring and other

aspects of picture quality, can I check the results on the television screen?

A7: Yes, this can be done for all the adjustments

except SHARPNESS. The quality of the picture on the television monitor will differ slightly from the quality of the printed image.

Test print the image, adjust the television so

that the quality of the picture on the screen is close as possible to that of the printed image, and then adjust the Digital Photo Printer. (P-19)

■About the Digital Photo Printer in General

■About the Paper and ln^< Cassettes

Q11 : How should I store my prints? A11 : We recommend keeping them in an album.

When doing so, make sure that the pockets are made of nylon, polypropylene, or cellophane. Using other materials may result in color transfer or discoloration, (p.48)

Q12: What is the “thermal sublimation transfer

printing system”?

A12: This is a type of printing method offering

excellent image quality. Other methods exist such as the direct thermal printing method.

Q13; What does the number of dots in a printed

picture mean?

A13; A printed picture is made up of many dots.

This printer prints 464 dots (vertical) X 672 dots (horizontal) during VIDEO Input Mode, and prints 478 dots (vertical) X 700 dots (horizontal) during PC Card Input Mode. The print size for PC Card input is slightly larger than the print size for Video input.

014: What does “256 color gradations” mean? A14: It means that the Digital Photo Printer can

express 256 gradations of color between white and the darkest color formed by the three primary colors. Because each of the three colors can be expressed in 256 gradations, the total number of colors is 256X256X256 (full color).

015: How do the Init Cassettes and paper

work?

A15: The Ink Cassettes contain three colors in one

unit: cyan, magenta, and yellow. The printing paper has a special coating that improves the adhesion of the ink.

016: How should I store the Ink Cassettes and

paper after having opened them?

A16: Do not leave the Ink Cassettes or paper in a

location exposed to direct sunlight, or in a location subjected to high temperature or high humidity. Place the cassette or paper back in its original silver bag, and then store them flat, (p.48) These supplies should be used as soon as possible after they are opened.

017; What kind of paper can the Digital Photo

Printer print on?

A17: The Digital Photo Printer can print on

standard paper and adhesive paper (including 16 Pre-Cut Adhesive paper). Do not use other types of paper, since doing so could cause paper jams or other malfunctions. Use the special Print Set and Video Print Ink Cassette when printing, (p.11)

018: Can the Digital Photo Printer print images

continuously?

A18: If “PRINT’ is set in MENU Mode, up to 10

sheets can be printed continuously. (P-16, 32)

019: How many sheets can be printed with a

single ink Cassette?

A19: An Ink Cassette can print the number of

sheets that are included in the same Print Set. For example, the Print Set PV-MPS50 is

intended for 50 sheets, and so the Ink Cassette can print 50 sheets. Ink Cassettes cannot be rewound and used again.

020: What kinds of Ink Cassettes and printing

paper can I use with the Digital Photo

Printer?

A20: Use Print Sets that bear either the

MPI mark or have been designated by

Panasonic as suitable for this Digital Photo

Printer.

Questions and Answers (Cont)

■About Computers

•Windows and Macintosh

Q21: What is an OS?

A21: OS is an abbreviation for Operating System,

and it is also sometimes called “basic software”. The OS is the basic software provided for allowing the computer to be used easily. For example, operations such as reading data or displaying text cannot be performed only with other software.

The OS performs these operations through

commands from the software. The OS for PC/AT computers is Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, and the OS for Macintosh computers is the Mac OS (System).

Q22: What are applications (software)? A22: This is software for performing specific tasks

in a computer. Applications include, for instance, word-processing and spreadsheet software.

Q23: What is an interface? A23: An interface is a means of connecting two or

more different devices. Interfaces are used in a variety of contexts, including between computers and external devices, and computers and humans. For example, interfaces include connection cables, connection sockets, and keyboards.

Q24: What is resolution? A24: The resolution indicates how many dots can

be displayed on a screen. The resolution is shown in dots per inch, and the higher the resolution, the better the printing quality.

Q25: What is dpi? A25: The dpi is a unit of resolution which indicates

the number of dots per inch that can be printed. Higher dpi allows more detailed printing.

Q26: What is a printer port? A26: A printer port is a socket for connecting a

printer to other devices. It is provided at the

rear of the computer. Printer ports are classified into the following

two types based on the transmission system.

•Serial port A serial port is an input/output socket for connecting peripheral devices which allow only one bit of data to be sent at a time, such as a mouse or modem.

•Parallel port A parallel port is an input/output socket for connecting peripheral devices which transfer data by simultaneously sending a

number of bits over separate lines. Although the parallel port allows data transfer at a higher speed than the serial port, transfer cannot be performed over long distances since interference will result between the data lines. This port is usually used to connect a printer to a computer. In general, printing with a Windows computer uses a parallel port, while printing with a Macintosh computer uses a serial port.

Q27: What is memory? A27: The memory is a temporary storage location

for data when the computer performs operations. Memory can be broadly divided into RAM and ROM. RAM is an acronym for random-access memory, a type of memory which allows data to be read and stored freely. Software programs and entered data are stored in RAM. ROM, on the other hand, stands for read-only memory, a special type of memory which only allows data to be read. The ROM contains fixed data for programs of the particular computer.

Q28: What is a bitmap? A28: A bitmap is a type of standard used for

storing graphics created by the computer as a file. The graphics file is stored as a collection of extremely small dots.

Q29: What is a dialogue box? A29: A dialogue box is a specialized window on

Windows and Macintosh screens for displaying specific information and soliciting a needed response.

Q30: What is a printer driver? A30: A printer driver is a program used to control

how the computer and printer interact. The printer driver provides the printer interface and font designation, functions of the installed printer, and other necessary information to Windows and Macintosh systems.

Page 53

Q31: Can the Digital Photo Printer print text

created with word-processing software so

that titles can be added to photographs

and other images in the computer?

A31: Text created with image-handling software

(graphics software: painting software, drawing software, photograph retouching software) can also be printed with the image.

Q32: Can the Digital Photo Printer print video

scenes shot with a Video Camera?

A32: You can print video scenes if your computer

includes a video capture board (device which digitalizes video signals before sending them to the computer). Also, when images shot with a Digital Video Camera are sent to the computer, they can be printed with the Digital Photo Printer. For Panasonic Digital Video Cameras, a Personal Computer Connection Kit (sold separately). This kit allows data to be sent to the computer. (However, this kit can only be used for Digital Video Cameras equipped with a Digital Still-Frame Socket.)

• Macintosh Q33: What is AppleTalk?

A33: AppleTalk is the name of the LAN (local area

network; an in-house computer network connecting a number of computers, printers, and other devices together) system standards and the network software for Macintosh computers.

Q34: What is LocalTalk? A34: LocalTalk is a LAN standard for Appletalk

that allows a computer network to be formed by simply connecting Macintosh computers together with a special cable. You cannot connect to a printer port when using a LocalTalk network. In this case, the modem port must be used. However, by setting “AppleTalk” to “Not Used”, you can cut off the LocalTalk network connections and then use the printer port.

Q35: What is PICT? A35: PICT is the standard format for Apple’s

graphics files.

Q36: What are the major computers capable of

supporting high-resolution printing?

A36 :The following computers are compatible with

this Digital Photo Printer. Macintosh series computers with a 68030 or faster CPU However, PPC603, 603eCPU, and 68030 CPU systems can also be used for highresolution printing by setting the transmission method to “Customize".
