listed below.

Failing to heed items with this symbol may result in death

or serious injury.

Failing to heed items with this symbol may result in

physical injury or material damage.

If the unit produces smoke, unusual amounts of heat, unusual odors, or unusual sounds,

immediately discontinue use and remove the power plug from the power outlet (failure to do

so may result in fire or electrocution).

If water or other foreign materials enter the unit, or the outer case is damaged, immediately

discontinue use and remove the power plug from the power outlet (failure to do so may

result in fire or electrocution).

Do not insert metallic or flammable objects inside the unit (fire, electrocution, or breakage

may result. Please keep out of reach of children).

During electrical storms, avoid all contact with metallic parts of the printer, as well as the

power plug (failure to do so may result in electrocution).

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands (electrocution may result).

Do not use the printer on unstable surfaces or inclines (doing so may result in injury or

breakage).

Do not use the printer in unventilated or cramped areas (doing so may result in fire or

electrocution).

severe vibration (internal components may be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire or

electrocution).

Do not place cloth or other materials on top of the unit during use (heat buildup may result in

external casing warpage, and internal components may be damaged, resulting in a risk of

fire, electrocution, or breakage).

Usage Cautions

gPrinting

gInk Ribbon Cassette, Paper

• Please store the printer, ink ribbon cassettes, and paper out of areas with direct sunlight, dust,

and extremely high or low humidity or temperatures.

• Do not place items on top of the printer.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents in cleaning the printer. Wipe down the unit with

a damp, lint-free cloth with a diluted soap solution, and then with a dry lint-free cloth.

• Please refer to these cautions when using a chemical cleaner based wipe.

• Please keep the packing materials from the printer's box. They are needed to protect the unit

in case shipping or transport becomes necessary.

gMemory Card

gStorage, Maintenance

Photography and printing must be done in accordance with all applicable copyright rules

and with the consent of the photographic subject.

Unit rear

• Only use correct ink ribbon cassette and paper types with

this printer. Using other paper or ink ribbon cassette types

may result in breakage.

• Before using any paper or ink ribbon cassettes, please

read their usage instructions and cautions carefully.

• Do not touch the print side of the paper.

• When holding the paper, only touch the edges of the paper (the outside of the perforations).

• Do not scratch the paper or ink ribbon cassettes, or touch the paper or ink ribbon cassettes

with wet or sweaty hands. Do not allow the print surface of the paper to become wet.

• During printing, do not open the upper or side covers, touch the lock lever, or insert or remove

an ink ribbon cassette.

• Do not touch or pull the paper during printing.

• When storing ink ribbon cassettes or paper, always place the ink ribbon cassette or paper back

in the bag in which it came.

• Do not reuse old ink ribbon cassettes or paper.

• Do not allow paper that has been printed on to come in contact with the following items:

document storage files (soft vinyl chloride files), erasers, benzene, thinners, or other organic

solvents.

• Do not fold or cut the paper perforations before printing.

• Always use ink ribbon cassette and paper from the same set. Mixing sets may result in printing

problems. (Refer to page 26 for details)

• Do not remove memory cards when the printer is operating. Do not subject memory cards to

strong vibration or shocks. Doing so may result in damage to memory card data or physical

damage.

• Do not unplug the printer or remove the AC adapter DC plug during printing. Doing so may

result in damage to memory card data or physical damage.

• Store memory cards in cool places out of direct sunlight and strong magnetic or static fields.

Failure to do so may result in damage to memory card data.

• This printer does not support 5V-only memory cards. Please use 3.3V (3V) or 3.3V / 5V dual

voltage memory cards.

• Printer operation is not guaranteed if objects other than memory cards are inserted in the

memory card slot.

• We are not responsible for any memory card data lost or damaged through use of this unit.

• Backup all data on memory cards in case of accidental data damage or deletion.

• Some memory cards may not be usable due to digital camera, camera cellular phone, memory

card, or memory card adapter specifications.

• Due to their design, memory sticks may take longer to read than memory cards.

• To avoid the unlikely possibility of data loss, do not insert or remove memory cards while the

printer is powered on.

USB port

5cm

• Use this printer on a flat, even, stable surface.

• During printing, paper will pass in and out of the front and rear

paper slits. Do not place any obstacles within 5 cm of the front or

back of the printer.

• The printer cannot be used while laid on its side.

• The printer cannot be directly connected to a digital camera.

• Do not move the printer while printing is in progress.

• Do not unplug the printer or remove the AC adapter DC plug

during printing. Doing so may result in paper jamming.

•

Do not turn the power off and on or plug and unplug the USB cable

unless necessary. Printer initialization uses some of the ink print

ribbon, and repeated power cycling may lower the amount of prints that can be produced.

• Moving the printer, ink ribbon cassette, or paper from a cold location to a hot location suddenly

may result in condensation. If condensation occurs, do not turn the unit

on, but wait until the temperature of the unit has reached that of the room.

• Continuous printing of 2 images or more, as well as printing in low or high

temperature rooms, may result in printing time taking longer than normal.

• When moving the printer, place one hand at the bottom of the unit to

prevent slipping.

• Use this printer out of the reach of children.

When moving, place one hand

at the bottom of the printer.
