Important Information

The Preheat function works so that high picture quality is keeped when the surrounding temperature is low. Therefore, even if pressing [PRINT] button, the operation may stop for a while. (Printing starts within about 1 minute automatically.)

If the temperature of the main unit become higher when performing multiple copy, printing pauses automatically to lower the temperature and the printing time becomes longer. However, this is not a malfunction. ≥In the case of printing with using a personal computer,

the message of [Please wait until the temperature of printer decreases.] is displayed on the monitor of a personal computer.

≥In the case of printing with using a memory card, the

message of [Please wait until the temperature decreases.] is displayed on the monitor of a TV.

When using the Photo Printer with PC Card (Especially, Hard Disk Type Card), be careful because the temperature of the surface on the Card may rise.

ª Ink Cassette/Paper Set Notes

≥Use Ink Cassette/Paper Sets that bear the mark. ≥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 Ink Cassette/Paper Set.

≥Do not store the Ink Cassettes or paper under high

temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight. Doing so could result in a deterioration of printing quality. They may also become unusable.

≥Do not forcibly pull the Ink Film or paper. Do not allow

finger prints or dust to get attached, and do not get water on them.

≥Do not reuse printed paper or Ink Cassettes that have

already been used up.

≥Do not open the Ink Cassette/Paper Set package

immediately, to become familiar with the surrounding temperature before using it. If the Ink Cassette/Paper Set has been stored at a low temperature, condensation could form when brought into a warmer room.

≥If the Ink Cassette/Paper Set is defective due to a

manufacturing error on the part of Panasonic, we will replace the Ink Cassette/Paper Set with an equivalent Ink Cassette/Paper Set. Panasonic shall not bear any responsibility beyond replacing the product.

ª Ink Cassette Notes

≥Do not remove the label from the Ink Cassette. ≥Before inserting an Ink Cassette, take up any slack in

the Ink Film. Take up slack by pressing your finger in the hole with the arrow on it, and turning the spool in the direction of the arrow.

≥Make sure that the Ink Cassette is oriented properly,

and insert it all the way in.

≥If you change the Ink Cassette type after selecting

pictures in Card Input, you must reselect the pictures.

≥When a used up Ink Cassette is inserted, it may take

about 15 seconds to operate correctly.

Precautions

To ensure high quality, precise printing, always observe the following points. Failure to observe these points cannot only result in poor quality prints, but also paper jams, malfunctions and breakdowns of the Photo Printer.

ª Paper/Paper Cassette Notes

≥Do not fold or bend the paper. Lay it flat, smooth it out,

and insert it into the Paper Cassette with the print side (the glossy side of the paper with no markings on it) up.

≥Do not load too much paper in the Paper Cassette. No

more than 25 sheets of 9 x 12 cm printing paper or 36 sheets of the other types of paper should be loaded.

≥Do not dirty the print side (white side) of the paper. ≥When printing on the back side of paper with another

printer, the ink may not easily dry depending on the type of printer used.

≥Dust and humidity damage the paper. Remove all

remaining paper from the Paper Cassette, return them to their original bag, and store them flat.

4646

Others

ªBefore, During, and After Printing

≥Do not write on the paper before printing on it. ≥Do not forcibly pull out the Ink Cassette or paper, shake

the printer, or add more paper while printing is in progress.

≥Removing the Paper Cassette while printing is in

progress could result in a paper jam in which the jammed paper cannot be pulled out. The jammed paper can only be removed when the Paper Cassette is inserted.

≥While printing is in progress, no other buttons besides

the Display/Cancel button used to cancel multiple prints will work.

≥The printer will make a little noise when printing, but this

is not malfunction.

≥Printing 2 or more pages, or printing in cold or hot

temperatures may take a little more time.

≥If ink or paper runs out while printing is in progress, it is

unnecessary to press the print button again after you replace the ink or paper.

≥If you print a dark image with this Photo Printer, it may

become a lighter print by the AGC (Auto Gain Control).

≥When paper is bent or wrinkled, it may fall out of the

paper exit tray (located above the Paper Cassette).

≥Do not allow more than 10 sheets of printed paper in the

paper exit tray, as doing so may lead to a paper jam.

ªNotes on Using 10 x 15 cm printing

paper

≥When printing borderless prints, select [With trim]. A

blank border can be created around the top, bottom, left and right sides of a picture when selecting [Without trim].

≥When printing with borderless paper, the top, bottom,

left and right sides of the picture will be cut off.

Cutting Borderless Paper After Printing

Fold in both directions along the perforation

lines. Tear along the perforation lines.

≥There are perforation lines on both ends of the

borderless paper. Be sure to tear off both sides.

ª 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 injury. ≥Do not affix cellophane tape to the printed surface.

Particularly be careful not to let plastic desk pads, business card cases, or plastic erasers come into contact with the printed surface.

≥Do not touch the printed surface with your fingers. ≥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 colour transfer between the two images. Colour 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

temperatures 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 colour transfer or discoloration. (Polypropylene and cellophane are also acceptable materials.)

ª Notes on Cards

≥If a card’s image does not display properly, turn off the

power, remove the card, and re-insert it.

≥Some titles recorded to the cards are not displayed on

the Digital Video Camera.

≥This Photo Printer is based on the DCF standards

(Design rule for Camera File system) which were established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

≥When the Index Display appears and the image is

based on the DCF standards is selected, the folder/file number of this image is displayed.

ª Notes on the SD Memory Card Write-

Protect Switch

≥The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding

the switch to [LOCK] prevents the recording of data to the card as well as the deletion of data from the card. Sliding back the switch permits such operations.

ªNotes on Handling the Photo Printer

≥When spraying or using insecticides or other volatile

solvents in the vicinity of the Photo Printer, be careful not to allow any to come into contact with the printer. If such solvents come into contact with the printer, they can damage the outer case and cause the surface to peel. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to be in contact with the printer for extended periods of time either.

≥When not using the Photo Printer for extended periods

of time, turn off the power and disconnect the Power Cable from the outlet to conserve energy. (0.04A of electricity are still used when the power button alone is turned off and the computer is on STAND BY.) Since damage to the printer may be incurred, turn on the power at least once every 6 months and use the Photo Printer.

≥When transporting this printer, during a move for

example, pack the printer back into its original case. If you no longer possess the case, wrap the printer in a blanket or some other such cloth material to prevent any damage. (Remove the Paper Cassette and the Ink Cassette, and close the lid.)

ªInstallation Notes

≥Install the Photo Printer away from other devices that

generate magnetic fields.

≥Keep the Photo Printer away from magnetized

equipment (such as a cell phone, microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.). Electromagnetic waves produced in this Photo Printer and in televisions, video games, and other devices can cause mutual interference, disrupting both the display on the television screen and the print picture or damage of the card.

ª 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 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 cloth’s usage instructions.

≥When the ventilation holes become dusty, remove the

Ink Cassette, and get rid of the dust using a vacuum cleaner. If the dust gets into the Photo Printer from the ventilation holes, the picture will not be printed clearly.

becomes dusty and the

ª Internal Temperature

≥Although it varies with the ambient temperature, if the

internal temperature of the Photo Printer rises above a certain level while printing, the error message “The temperature of the device is too high, please wait.” will appear on the TV 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. 1 When printing images continuously 2 When the ambient temperature is high 3 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.

ª Condensation

≥When a bottle is taken out from a refrigerator in summer

and left standing for a while for instance, droplets of

water will form on it. This phenomenon is known as

condensation. Condensation will form if the printer or Ink

Cassette/Paper Set is moved to a location with a

considerable difference in temperature or humidity, such

as: 1 A high-humidity location, such as one filled with steam 2 When suddenly moved from an air-conditioned

environment to one with high temperatures and high humidity

3 A room that has just been heated ≥If condensation occurs, turn the power on and wait for 2

hours. If the paper or rollers are damp with

condensation, the printed surface that is produced may

be dirty.

Q&A

ªAbout Functions

1: What should I do about poor colouring?

1: The colour and other parameters can be adjusted by

selecting [Picture], under [OPTION] on the MENU screen.

2: Is it possible to insert a title for each [Copy] Mode

screen?

2: No, it is not possible in normal [Select] Mode. It is

possible in [Copy] Mode, but it is not possible to insert a different title for each mini-frame.

3: Why do pictures get cut off when I print them on

borderless paper?

3: Borderless paper designed for 10 x 15 cm printing

paper pictures have a length-width ratio of 1: . The length-width ratios of Digital Video Cameras are 3:4, so the top and bottom portions of pictures will be cut when printing on borderless paper.

ªAbout the Photo Printer in General

4: What is the “thermal sublimation transfer

printing system”?

4: This is a type of printing method offering excellent

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

5: What does “256 colour gradations” mean?

5: It means that the Photo Printer can express 256

gradations of colour between white and the darkest colour formed by the 3 primary colours. Because each of the 3 colours can be expressed in 256 gradations, the total numbers of colours is 256 x 256 x 256 (approximately 16,780,000 full colours).

6: How do the Ink Cassettes and paper work?

6: The Ink Cassettes contain 3 colours in one unit:

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

7: What is the maximum number of picture files that

the Photo Printer can handle?

7: The Photo Printer can handle up to 20,000 files.

11: What kind of paper can the Photo Printer print

on?

11: The Photo Printer can print on 9 x 12 cm printing

paper, 16 Pre-Cut adhesive paper and 10 x 15 cm printing paper. Do not use other types of paper, since doing so could cause paper jams or other malfunctions. Use the special Ink Cassette/Paper Set when printing.

12: Can the Photo Printer print images

continuously?

12: If [Number] is selected under [OPTION] on the

MENU screen, up to 10 sheets can be printed continuously. Do not allow more than 10 sheets of printed paper collect in the paper exit tray, as doing so may lead to a paper jam.

13: How many sheets can be printed with a single Ink

Cassette?

13: An Ink Cassette can print the number of sheets that

are included in the same Ink Cassette/Paper Set. For example, the Ink Cassette/Paper Set VW-APA50E is intended for 50 sheets, so the Ink Cassette can print 50 sheets. Ink Cassettes cannot be rewound and used again.

14: What kinds of Ink Cassettes and printing paper

can I use with the Photo Printer?

14: Use Ink Cassette/Paper Sets that bear the

mark.

ª About Unclean Thermal Heads

If a line appears across a printed picture and pictures cannot be printed clearly, Thermal head (the 1 portion on the below picture), located in the insertion portion of the Ink Cassette, may be dirty. In that case, insert a cotton swab (about 15 cm in length) all the way into the Ink Cassette and clean thermal head. ≥Be sure to disconnect the Power Cable from the outlet

before cleaning thermal head. ≥Do not insert your finger into the Ink Cassette Insert

Location, as an injury may result.

8: Regarding cards, how many pixels can the Photo

Printer handle in an image?

8: The Photo Printer can deal with up to approximately

25 million (6,144 x 4,096) pixel images.

9: How should I store my prints?

9: 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 colour transfer or discoloration.

ªAbout Paper and Ink Cassettes

10: How should I store the Ink Cassettes and paper

after having opened them?

10: 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 bag, and then store them flat. These supplies should be used as soon as possible after they are opened.
