An ink and paper integrated cartridge is used in this printer (p. 9). Prepare a cartridge with the size

• When opening a cartridge, check the contents. If something seems to be damaged, contact the
dealer for assistance.
• Do not touch the ink sheet of the cartridge, or pull out the ink sheet or papers.
There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets, or paper jams or poor printing may result.
• Do not handle the cartridge with wet or sweaty hands.
• Please use only cartridges specified for use with the SELPHY ES series.

4• The colored paper on the top side of the cartridge is protective paper. Load the cartridge with
this paper still in place.
