Printing Precautions

This section explains the precautions that should be observed

when printing.

These precautions are applicable to all of the printing methods,

including “Printing from Memory Cards,” “Printing from Cameras,”

“Printing from Computers” and “Wireless Printing.”

• Do not pull out the paper cassette or open the ink cassette cover while

printing is in progress. This will lead to malfunctions.

• During printing, the paper will pass in and out four times. Do not touch or

pull on the paper during this process. It may lead to injuries or

malfunctions.

• Placing 19 or more sheets in the paper cassette (13 or more Wide Size

sheets) will lead to mis-feeds or paper jams.

• Printing temporarily ceases if the printer interior rises past a certain

temperature. Since printing will automatically resume when the

temperature lowers, please wait a moment. (This may occur when the

ambient temperature is high or numerous prints have been produced

continuously.)

(Direct Print) will appear on the camera’s LCD monitor

when the camera is connected to the printer.

If the connector on the retractable USB cable does not match the

camera’s terminal, connect the camera using the USB cable supplied

Connecting Cameras

• When connecting a camera to the printer to print, you are recommended

to power the camera from a power outlet to avoid having the camera

cancel the print partway for lack of battery charge. If you are using a

battery, ensure that it is fully charged or new.

Connecting the Camera

Connect the camera to the printer with the following procedures.

• To have the retractable USB cable recoil, pull it lightly forward and release

it.

• The cable can be extended by approximately 30 cm (12 in.). Be careful not

to over-extend it, which may lead to malfunctions.

• Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers.

Always hold the paper along the edges (outside the perforated border).

Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper. Sharp objects will

scratch the paper surface. Keep the paper surface free from fingerprints,

dust, water droplets, etc.

Handling Precautions

This section explains the precautions that you should take in

handling the equipment.

• Use a soluble ink pen to write on the paper sheets.

• Please avoid the following actions as they may result in color change,

color fading or color bleeding.

Devices

• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.

• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.

• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.

• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects

for prolonged periods.

• Do not apply excessive force to the paper cassette.

Force or impact on the cassette may result in paper jams or equipment

damage.

• Do not switch the power on/off repeatedly when you do not intend

to print.

The printer initialization process consumes ink and the equivalent of several

• Keep the battery terminals clean at all times.

• Be careful not to spray the equipment with insecticides or volatile

substances. In addition, do not store the equipment in contact with

rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

These materials may cause deformation of the printer’s casing.

• Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands.

• Do not touch the springs of the paper cassette. If the springs are bent

or deformed, paper will not feed correctly into the printer.

Dirty terminals result in a poor connection. Before recharging or using the

battery, polish the terminals with a slender, soft tipped cotton swab.

• Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal objects with sharp

edges, such as paper clips and pins. Always put the terminal cover on

the battery pack’s terminal when carrying it or before storing it.

• Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 5 to 40 °C

Battery performance will temporarily drop in cold environments, such as ski

hills.

Spring

• If the battery status is low, the finished print may not be ejected into

the print output receptacle completely.

If that occurs, replace the battery with a fully charged one or use the AC

adapter.

• Do not place any foreign objects in the print output receptacle (on the

top of the paper cassette).
