Notes on LCD screen

• The displayed image on the screen is not identical in picture quality and colors with the printed image because display methods or profiles differ. Please regard the displayed image as just a reference.

• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a long period may cause malfunctions.

• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the printing in any way.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

• Paper tray (1)

• AC adaptor (1)

• AC power cord

• Cleaning cartridge (1)/Cleaning sheet (1)

• CD-ROM (Windows Printer Driver Software Ver.1.0 and Picture Motion Browser Ver.3.0) (1)

• Read This First (1)

• About the Print Packs (1)

• Warranty (In some regions, the warranty is not supplied.) (1)

• Sony End User Software License Agreement (1)

About Sony Print Packs (not supplied)

Please use a Sony optional color print pack designed for the printer. For details, see the supplied “About the Print Packs.”

(1)

Setting the ink ribbon

1 Pull and open the ink ribbon

compartment door.

2 Insert the ink ribbon in the direction

of the arrow until it clicks into place.

Preparations

3 Close the ink ribbon compartment

door.

Removing the ink ribbon

Push up the blue eject lever, and remove the used ink ribbon.

Continued

Notes

• Do not touch the ink ribbon or store the ink ribbon

in a dusty location. Fingerprints or dust on the ink ribbon may result in imperfect printing.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound

ink ribbon for printing. Otherwise, proper printing results will not be obtained, or a malfunction may occur. If the ink ribbon does not click into place, remove it and then re-insert it. Only when the ink ribbon is too slack to be loaded, keep pressing the core of the ribbon and wind the ink ribbon in the direction of the arrow to remove the slack.

Do not wind the ribbon in the directions shown here.

• Do not disassemble the ink ribbon.

• Do not pull out the ribbon from the ink ribbon.

• Do not remove the ink ribbon while printing.

• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject

to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive dust or direct sunlight. Please store it in a cool and dark place and use it within a short period from the date of production. Depending on the storage conditions, the ink ribbon may deteriorate. Use of such an ink ribbon may affect the printed results, for which we cannot guarantee or compensate.

Inserting the print paper

1 Open the paper tray cover.

Hold the parts on both sides of the paper tray cover (shown with arrows) and open the paper tray cover.

2 Set the print paper into the paper

tray.

3 Close the paper tray cover.

4 Open the slide cover.

5 Insert the paper tray into the printer.

• To avoid paper jam or malfunctions of the printer, make sure of the following before printing:

– Do not write or type on the print paper.

– Do not attach a sticker or stamps on the print

paper.

– When adding print paper to the paper tray, be

sure that the total number of print paper sheets does not exceed 20 sheets.

– Do not insert different types of print paper

together into the paper tray.

– Do not print on used print paper. Printing an

image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker.

– Use the print paper for this printer only.

– Do not use print paper ejected without printing.

Notes on storing the print paper

• To store print paper in the tray, remove the paper tray from the printer and close the slide door of the paper tray.

• Avoid storing the paper with the printed faces touching each other or in contact with rubber or plastic products, including vinyl chloride or plasticizer for an extended period of time; color changes or deterioration of the printed image may occur.

• Avoid placing the print paper in a location subject to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive dust or direct sunlight.

• When you are going to store partially-used print paper, store it in its original bag or a similar container.

Preparations

Notes

• You can set up to 20 sheets of print paper. Riffle the print paper thoroughly. Insert the print paper with the protective sheet facing up. Then remove the protective sheet.

• Insert the print paper with its printing surface (the side with no imprint) facing up.

• Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or contamination on the printing surface may result in imperfect printing.

• Do not bend the print paper, or cut the print paper from the perforations before printing.

Connecting to the AC power source

1 Insert the plug of the AC adaptor

into the DC IN 24 V jack on the back of the printer.

2 Connect one plug of the AC power

cord to the connector of the AC adaptor and the other plug to the wall outlet.

Notes

• Do not place the printer in an unstable location

such as on a wobbly table.

• Leave enough room around the printer. The print

paper emerges from the back a few times during printing. Keep 10 cm (13/32 inches) or more space at the rear of the printer.

• Connect the AC adaptor to an easily accessible

wall outlet close by. If trouble occurs while using the adaptor, immediately shut off the power by disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.

• Do not short the plug of the AC adaptor with a

metallic object, as this may cause a malfunction.

• Do not use the AC adaptor placed in a narrow

space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• When you have finished using the AC adaptor,

disconnect the AC power cord from the DC IN 24 V jack of the printer and from the AC power sources.

• The printer is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the printer itself has been turned off.
