Notes on Use
Usage locations

Printer usage location
•
Do not use in the following locations:
• Locations subject to a lot of dust or lint, as this may lead to inability to print cleanly.
• In direct sunlight, near an air conditioner, or in any other location where temperature
may rise above 35 °C (95 °F) or fall below 5 °C (41 °F). There is a risk of causing
malfunction, deformation, or damage to the printer.
• On a piano or a carpeted surface. There is a risk of causing damage or discoloration.
• Where it can be exposed to tobacco smoke. There is a risk of causing the printer to
malfunction.
•
Keep away from magnetic and/or electronic hardware.
In order to prevent adverse electromagnetic effects, be sure to operate as far away as
possible from the following type of appliances.
• Mobile phones, microwave ovens, electronic game units and stereo speakers.
•
Do not use the printer vertically.
This may cause the printer to malfunction.

If the printer’s inner components overheat
When the ambient temperature is high or when continuous printing has been performed,
printing operations may temporarily halt in order to keep the internal temperature of the
printer from rising. Printing will automatically resume when the internal temperature of the
printer goes down. Ensure that the printer is used in a well-ventilated location.

When ambient temperatures are low
To maintain high quality image output, the printer does not begin printing until the internal
temperature has warmed up, so it may take some time before printing starts. Printing starts
automatically once the temperature has risen sufficiently.

To prevent the printer deformation and keep the case finish
Do not spill or allow any volatile solvents, such as benzine, paint thinner, or other solvents
or insecticide to come in contact with the printer. Also, do not maintain contact with the
printer by rubber or vinyl-coated materials for an extended period of time. This may damage
the surface of the printer or cause the case finish to peel.

Required space during printing
Paper is ejected and inserted from the rear panel of this printer during printing.
Do not place any objects within 220 mm (8.7″) of the rear panel of the printer. Use the
printer on a flat surface, not doing so may lead to paper jams.

Storage

Storing paper and ink cassettes
After use, remove the paper cassette from the printer, close the cassette lid, leaving any
remaining paper in the paper cassette. Then insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and
store so that it lies flat.
Avoid placing the paper and ink cassette in locations subject to high temperature, high
humidity or direct sunlight. After opening the original packaging, use all the paper as soon
as possible.

When the printer is not to be used for an extended period of time
• To conserve electric power, turn off the printer’s power and disconnect the power cord.
(The printer will continue to consume less than 1 W of power even after the unit is turned
off by pressing the POWER button if it is plugged in.) Leaving the printer idle for long
periods may impair functionality. Make sure you turn the printer’s power on and operate
the printer at least once every six months.
• Remove the paper cassette, ink cassette and memory card from the printer. Then close
the printer covers.
About the LCD monitor
• Do not apply direct pressure to the LCD monitor screen. Doing so can cause uneven color
display and can permanently damage the monitor.
• In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor.
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
The result is more than 99.99 % effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % of the pixels inactive
or always lit. However, this will not be printed.
• Be advised that the color and contrast of the printed image may differ slightly from the
appearance of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Copy-prohibited items

Copying of software is prohibited
Copying of software supplied with this printer for unauthorized commercial purposes or
copying on networks is prohibited.

Copying of prohibited material
Printing of monetary notes or marketable securities is illegal and a criminal offence
depending on the intention and means of application of the printed material.
When disposing of, transferring ownership or
returning the printer

Note that information you have printed will remain in the ink cassette
after printing. Be sure to dispose of the ink cassette to avoid unexpected
damages due to distribution of this information ( p. 17).

Handling
Paper and Ink set
• Before using a Paper and Ink set, ensure that you acclimatize the Paper and Ink set to
the ambient temperature prior to opening. In particular, if the Paper and Ink set has been
stored at a low temperature, condensation ( p. 63) may occur due to the difference in
temperatures.
• Avoid storing paper and ink cassettes in places subject to high temperature, high humidity or
direct sunlight. This may lead to deterioration of print quality or prevent printing capability.
During printing
• Do not open the ink cassette compartment cover, as print quality may be reduced.
• Do not remove the paper cassette or ink cassette.
• Do not pull the paper while it is moving.
• Be sure to remove printed paper before 10 or more sheets have piled up. Failure to do so
may result in a paper jam. Be particularly sure to remove paper with a high degree of curl
before it piles up.
• Do not touch the print surface with your fingers.
• Starter kit is included (5 sheets of postcard size paper).
Use only paper and ink cassettes in the Paper and Ink set described below.
Paper and ink cassettes are kits consisting of paper and ink together.
Do not use postcard and ink jet type paper.
(This will cause paper jams and the printer to malfunction.)
• Ensure that only the ink cassette and papers, which come together as part of a set,
are used with the printer. The ink cassettes included in the Paper and Ink set provide
enough ink to print the number of sheets included in the Paper and Ink set. Always replace
the ink cassette when using a new Paper and Ink set.
• Do not mix other Paper and Ink sets, as quality printouts may not be possible.
Please purchase separately sold accessories from your dealer.

Preparation
13
Note
• When cutting paper after printing, fold the
paper along the perforated line. Then reverse
the fold in the opposite direction and cut the
paper along the folded line.
• If you are printing on the reverse side of a
sheet with a different printer, the ink may take
some time to dry.
After printing
• Do not remove unused sheets of paper from the paper cassette. Close the cassette lid, then
insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and store so that it lies flat.
• After removing the paper cassette, close the paper cassette compartment cover to prevent
dust from getting inside the printer.
• Remove the ink cassette and store it in a plastic bag or other safe container.
Handling printed paper
• Pay special attention to the following, otherwise discoloration, fading and color transfer may
occur.
• Do not allow objects such as vinyl desk mats, name card cases, or plastic erasers to come
in contact with the printed surfaces. When storing printed paper in an album, select holder
sleeves made of nylon, polypropylene or cellophane.
• Do not allow any volatile solvents such as alcohol to come in contact with the printed
surface.
• Do not touch the printed surface.
• Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one another, or place any other papers on
printed surfaces for a certain period of time.
• Do not store printed paper in locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or direct
sunlight.
• When writing on a printed surface, use permanent markers (oil-based) only. You may use
permanent markers (oil-based), water-based markers, pencils and oil-based ball point pens
to write on the back of printed papers.
• You can use printed images for your personal enjoyment. Copyright laws prevent their use in
any other way without the written permission of the copyright holders.
•Do not reuse paper that has already been printed on.
In the case where a picture was printed to only a portion of the paper, do not attempt to
reuse and print a second image on the same sheet at a later time. Doing so will damage the
print ink cartridge and could permanently damage the printer.

Notice of Ink Cassettes
The numbers of the ink sheets and papers in the Paper and Ink set are matched. An ink
cassette provides enough ink to print 36 sheets of paper (20 sheets of paper when using
wide size paper). Store the ink cassette and papers used together. The number of the
rest of papers give an indication of the number of the rest of the ink sheets. (If you use
a sheet of paper more than twice, the number of the rest of the ink sheets may not be
matched.)
