Cartridge compartment cover

You need an optional printing pack (UPC-X46 or UPCX34) designed for the print er . The pack contains a set of print paper and a p rint cartridge.

Notes

• 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.

• Use the printi ng 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 sizes, printing may not be possible, or a paper jam or other trouble 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 malfuncti on or breakdown.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print car tridge 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 print s, avoid placing the printing p ack in locations that are subject to high temperature, hi gh humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

The Bluetooth1) wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include computers, computers peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communications system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or if there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encruption.

• When using the Bluetooth function, the distance between the camera and the printer you intend to connect must be within 10 m (33 feet) without obstacles.

Authentication

What's a passkey

Passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously connected to each other and create a trusted relationship between them. You need to enter the same characters (passkey ) to each device on passkey authentication process. This printer uses a 4-digit number as a passkey. Once authentication of the device has been confirmed, the printer registered the device as a record. Since then you can connect the device without entering a passkey. To ensure proper security, the passkey entry has a time limit (30 seconds), based on the Bluetooth standards. The passkey entry may be required when the authentication v alid period of th e printer or ot her device is expired, the record is deleted, or the security setting is changed. Passkey entry may be required, depending on devices, each time you intend to connect. This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey” etc. “PIN” i s also used wit h the same meaning.

Precautions

Safety

• Operate the printer using the power source specif ied in “Specifications” on page 21.

• This unit is not disconnected from the mains as long a s it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Be careful not to damage the po wer cor d by placi ng or dropping heavy obj ects on it; it is dangerous t o use the printer with a damaged power cord.

• If you do not intend t o use t he pr in ter f or a long time, disconnect the power cord.

• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord itself.

• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.

• Do not disassemble or convert the unit.

• Do not remove the cov er . There is a danger of electric shock from the internal parts.

• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible or metallic mate rial to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the printer from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by co ver ing the printer wit h a cloth etc.

• If the printer malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.

Installation

Condensation

• If the printer is subject to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left i n a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly , and may e ven de velop a fau lt if you persist in using it. If condensation forms, set the printer to standby mode and lea ve the pri nter to stand for at least one hour.

• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the print cartridge or paper. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also , if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout. Therefore, av oid stori ng the printing pac k in locatio ns subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.

• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a coo l, dark location. To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the printing pack is removed from its package.

Location

To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room around the printer for air to circulate through the vents on the left hand side of the cabinet.

On transportation

• Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.

• Retain the original carton and packing materials in case you have to transport th e u nit in the future.

• Avoid placing the printer in a location subjec t to: – mechanical vibration – high humidit y – excessive dust – where it is exposed to rain – direct or excessive sunlight – extremely high or low temperatures – close to sources of strong magnetism – close to sources of powerful electromagnetic

radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

• Do not use other electronic equipment near the printer . It will not work properly in strong electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the printer.

Precautions

Cleaning

• Before cleaning the printer, press the on/standby button of the printer so that the lamp goes out, and unplug the power cord.

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type o f solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.
