Basic Operations
This chapter introduces basic printing operations
such as preparing SELPHY, selecting images on a
memory card, and specifying the number of copies.

16
çContents
Initial Preparations
Prepare for printing as follows. This example shows a Postcard-size
Color Ink / Paper Set (sold separately, = 3), but the same steps
are followed for other sizes.
Avoid getting dust on ink sheets or paper, which may cause banding
or damage the printer (= 8).
Preparing the Ink Cassette
Check the ink cassette and
ink sheet.
 Holding the ink cassette without
touching the ink sheet, check the
size (such as “POSTCARD SIZE”
or “CARD SIZE”) to make sure it
matches the size of paper you will
print on.
 Make sure the ink sheet is taut.
Loose ink sheets may tear when
loaded. If the sheet is loose, turn
the sprocket as shown.
Ink sheet

çContents
 For an ink cassette that has a
lock on the bottom, press the lock
(as shown) to release it as you
turn the sprocket to make the
sheet taut.
• Do not hold the ink cassette with wet hands. Avoid touching
the ink sheet, and avoid getting dust on it. Dirt or moisture
may cause banding or affect print quality, tear ink sheets
and prevent printing, or damage the printer (= 8).
• When turning the sprocket, turn it gently, only until the sheet
is taut. Forcing the sprocket or overtightening it may tear ink
sheets and prevent printing, or SELPHY may run out of ink
before paper.
• Do not reuse ink cassettes. This may cause incorrect
printing of images, paper jams and product malfunction.

çContents
Preparing the Paper Cassette
1Check the paper size.
 Check the size on the paper
cassette (such as “POSTCARD
SIZE” or “CARD SIZE”) to make
sure it matches the size of the ink
cassette.
2Open both covers.
 There are two layers of covers.
First open the outer cover ( ),
and then the inner cover ( ).
3Load the paper.
 Load the paper in the paper
cassette.
 The paper cassette holds up to
18 sheets. Loading 19 or more
sheets may damage the printer or
cause malfunction.
 Holding the paper as shown,
load it with the glossy side up.
(Do not touch the glossy side of
the paper, which may affect print
quality.)
 Remove any protective sheets
from the paper, and load only
paper into the cassette.

 When making postcard prints
with space for a stamp, load the
paper with the stamp area facing
as shown.
4Close the inner cover.
 Close the inner cover rmly until it
clicks into place.
 Leave the outer cover open when
printing.
Printing on L-Size Paper
 You can use Paper Cassette
PCPL-CP400 (sold separately) to
print on L-size paper.
 To print on postcard paper,
remove the adapter as shown.
