Setting up

Replacing batteries

When the printer does not respond to the remote commander, the battery may run out. Use a fine pin or other thin shaped device to pick and slide out the battery compartment lid. Remove the used battery and then insert a new lithium battery (CR2025) into the compartment with the + and – properly aligned.

Lithium battery

CAUTION: Replace the battery with Sony CR2025 lithium battery. Use of another

battery may preset a risk of fire or explosion. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with

the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3 Preparing the printing pack

You need an optional printing pack designed for the printer. The pack contains a set of print paper and a print cartridge for either Post Card size (4x6 inch) or Small size (3.5x4 inch) prints.

Select the printing pack according to the type of printing you intend to do:

Printing pack Contents

SVM-25LS 25 sheets of Post Card size photo paper/Print cartridge for

25 prints

SVM-25LW 25 sheets of Post Card size sticker/Print cartridge for 25

prints

SVM-30SS 30 sheets of Small size photo paper/Print cartridge for 30

prints

SVM-30SW 30 sheets of Small size stickers/Print cartridge for 30 prints

SVM-30SW09 30 sheets of Small size 9-split stickers/Print cartridge for 30

prints

Notes

•Use the printing pack for this printer only.

•Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of the print paper you use. If you mix cartridges and paper of different types or size, printing may not be possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.

•Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper printing result will not be obtained, or even a breakdown may occur.

•Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or breakdown.

•Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the printing surface of the print paper. If there are fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink ribbon, the printing quality may deteriorate.

•For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack in locations that are subject to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

•When storing a partially-used pack of the print cartridge and print paper, store it in its original bag or in a similar container.

Notes

•Never put your hand into the cartridge compartment. The thermal head reaches high temperatures, especially after repeated printing.

•Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing. Otherwise, proper printing result will not be obtained, or even a breakdown may occur.

•If the print cartridge does not click into place, remove it and then re-insert it. If the ink ribbon is too slack to be loaded, wind the ink ribbon in the direction of the arrow to remove the slack.

•If the print cartridge is not loaded when you turn on the printer, the cartridge error indicator lights up.

•When placing the print cartridge on a desk or other surface, stand it vertically so that dust will not get on the ink ribbon.

•Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the print cartridge in a dusty location. Fingerprints or dust on the ink ribbon may result in imperfect printing.

•Do not change the print cartridge while operating the printer.

Notes on storing the print cartridge

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

•When you are going to store a partially-used cartridge, store it in its original bag.

Notes

•If print paper does not feed automatically, the paper error indicator lights. Pull out the paper tray and check for a paper jam.

•When adding print paper to a partially full tray, make sure that the total number of sheets does not exceed 25 for the Post Card size or 30 for the Small size print paper. Do not place different types or sizes of paper in the tray. Otherwise, a paper jam or malfunction may occur.

• If the print paper runs out when you press PRINT, a warning sound beeps and the

paper error indicator lights.

•Do not write or type on the printing surface of the paper before printing. If you want to write greetings or draw on the printed surface after printing, use an oil ink pen.

•Do not attach stickers or anything else on the printing surface before printing.

•Do not remove the backing from sticker print paper before printing is completed. Otherwise, jams or printer damage may occur.

•Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker. This may even cause a malfunction or breakdown.

•Before printing, do not fold or bend the print paper.

Notes on storing the print paper

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

•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.

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