SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• Do not install your photo printer in a humid room (bathroom, laundry,
kitchen, etc.), or within 1.50 m of a tap or water source, or outside. Your
printer should be used at an ambient temperature of between 15 °C and 35 °C
for optimum printing results.

• Do not set up your printer in a dusty environment as dust deposits might
adversely affect the print quality of your photos.

• Only the power supply provided with the printer should be used. Connect this
to the mains in accordance with the installation instructions in this user guide
and the information on the identification label affixed to the power supply
(voltage, current, mains frequency). As a precaution, in case of danger, the
mains adapters act as a disconnecting mechanism for the 230 V power
supply. They should be placed near the device and should be easily
accessible.

• Never open the cover of the film cartridge compartment during printing.
This could break the film and cause printer malfunction.

• Only use SAGEM consumables, if not you are likely to damage the
equipment and invalidate the guarantee. To obtain the references of the
consumables (Refer to paragraph Replacement of consumables, page 28).

• The CE marking certifies that the product meets the main requirements of the
European Parliament and Council directive 1999/5/CE on
telecommunications terminal equipment, regarding safety and health of users,
and regarding electromagnetic interference.

The declaration of compliance can be consulted on the site www.sagem.com

CRYSTAL IMAGE FUNCTION

Your printer comes equipped with the Crystal Image picture optimisation function
offering enhanced print quality.

Remark: crystal Image works independently of a PC.

Crystal Image consists of 2 components that can be utilised according to your
needs:

• image optimisation,

• red-eye correction.

Warning:

red-eye correction is a complex process that may require extensive processing time.

Crystal Image automatically implements all the settings and corrections required
with respect to the sharpness of the image as well as the colour and contrast
management, in order to achieve the best possible print quality. What is more,
exposure defects will also be corrected (e.g., under-exposed photos are made
brighter, or parts of a photo presenting strong contrasts will be compensated). The
red-eye correction function corrects the red-eye phenomenon associated with flash
photography.

Activation/deactivation

Remark: by default, the "image optimisation" component of Crystal Image is activated and

"red-eye correction" is deactivated.

The following table indicates how many times you need to press the button to
activate or deactivate the Crystal Image function.
