SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Do not install your PHOTO EASY 255 printer in a humid room
(bathroom, laundry, kitchen, etc.), or within 1.50 m of a tap or water
source, or outside. The printer should be operated within an ambient
temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not install your printer in a location where there is a noticeable
amount of dust floating in the air. Such dust can degrade the print quality
of your photos.
• Only the power supply provided with the printer should be used. Connect
this to the mains in accordance with the installation instructions in this
user guide and the information on the identification label affixed to the
power supply (voltage, current, mains frequency). As a precaution, in
case of danger, the mains adapters act as a disconnecting mechanism for
the 230V power supply. They should be placed near the device and
should be easily accessible.
• Never open the cover of the film cartridge compartment during
printing. This could break the film and cause printer malfunction.
• Only use SAGEM consumables, if not you are likely to damage the
equipment and invalidate the guarantee. To obtain the references of the
consumables (refer to the paragraph Replacement of consumables,
page 25).
• The CE marking certifies that the product meets the main requirements of
the European Parliament and Council directive 1999/5/CE on
telecommunications terminal equipment, regarding safety and health of
users, and regarding electromagnetic interference.
The declaration of compliance can be consulted on the site
www.sagem.com category "support", or can be requested at the following

TRANSFERRING PHOTOS FROM APHOTO GSM
Photographs taken with a GSM mobile phone equipped with a camera can be
printed on the SAGEM PHOTO EASY 255 printer. To do this, the
photographs need to be transferred to the printer via an IR (infrared) link
between the 2 devices.
Tips - GSM mobile phones with cameras work on low definition ; for a better quality
of print we suggest you print 2 or 4 photos per sheet.
Switch the printer on. Place your GSM mobile phone opposite the SAGEM
PHOTO EASY 255 printer so that the IR "windows" are facing each other and
are not more than 30 centimetres apart.
Warning - In an environment exposed to intense light, a distance of not more
10 centimetres between the two infrared windows is recommended.
Select a photograph on your GSM mobile phone and start the IR ink transfer.
