Important Information
The Preheat f nction works so that high pict re q ality is
maintained when the s rro nding temperat re is low.
Therefore, even if pressing the [PRINT] b tton, the
operation may not start for a while. (Printing starts within
abo t 1 min te a tomatically.)
If the temperat re of the main nit increases when
performing m ltiple copying, printing pa ses a tomatically
to lower the temperat re and the printing time becomes
longer. However, this is not a malf nction with the prod ct.
pIn the case of printing when sing a personal comp ter,
the message [Please wait ntil the temperat re of
printer decreases.] is displayed on the monitor of the
personal comp ter.
pIn the case of printing with sing a memory card, the
message [Please wait ntil the temperat re decreases.]
is displayed on the monitor of a TV.
When sing the Photo Printer with a PC Card (Especially
Hard Disk Type card), temperat re on the s rface of the
