Notes on Storing Settings to the Photo
Printer’s Memory
When the following settings are configured, they will
remain stored until they are altered again, even if the
power is turned off. (If the Photo Printer’s power is turned
off by disconnecting the AC Power Cord instead of
pressing the power button, all configurations will be lost.)

Notes on Handling the Photo Printer
≥
When spraying or using insecticides or other volatile
solvents in the vicinity of the Photo Printer, be careful
not to allow any to come into contact with the printer. If
such solvents come into contact with the printer, they
can damage the outer case and cause the surface to
peel. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to be in
contact with the printer for extended periods of time.
≥
When not using the Photo Printer for extended periods
of time, turn off the power and disconnect the Power
Cable from the outlet to conserve energy. (0.04A of
electricity are still used when the power button alone is
turned off and the computer is on STAND BY.) Since
damage to the printer may be incurred, turn on the
power at least once every 6 months and use the Photo
Printer.
≥
When transporting this printer, during a move for
example, pack the printer back into its original case. If
you no longer possess the case, wrap the printer in a
blanket or other such cloth material to prevent any
damage. (Remove the Paper Cassette and the Ink
Cassette, and close the lid.)
ª
Installation Notes
≥
Install the Photo Printer away from other devices that
generate magnetic fields.
≥
Keep the Photo Printer away from magnetized
equipment (such as a cell phone, microwave oven, TV,
video game equipment, etc.). Electromagnetic waves
produced in this Photo Printer and in televisions, video
games, and other devices can cause mutual
interference, disrupting both the display on the television
screen and the print picture or damage of the card.
ª
Maintenance Notes
≥
Do not use Benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents to
clean the printer. Most of the printer surface is plastic.
Do not use solvents such as Benzene and paint thinner
to wipe the printer since they can damage the surface of
the printer and cause the surface to peel. To clean the
surface, wipe up any dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the
Photo Printer is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in
kitchen detergent (neutral) diluted with water and wring
out thoroughly. Then, wipe off the dust with the cloth and
wipe again with a dry cloth. When using a synthetic
cloth, follow the precautions in the cloth’s usage
instructions.
≥
When the ventilation holes become dusty, remove the
Ink Cassette, and get rid of the dust using a vacuum
cleaner. If dust gets into the Photo Printer from the
ventilation holes, the Ink Film becomes dusty and the
picture will not be printed clearly.
ª
Internal Temperature
≥
Although it varies with the ambient temperature, if the
internal temperature of the Photo Printer rises above a
certain level while printing, the error message “The
temperature of the device is too high, please wait.” will
appear on the TV Screen. In this situation, the printing
operation will halt temporarily. This is not a malfunction.
After waiting for a few minutes for the temperature to
drop (four or five minutes at the most), the Photo Printer
will automatically resume printing. The printing operation
may be halted temporarily in any of the following cases,
which will result in a longer than normal printing time.
1
When printing images continuously
2
When the ambient temperature is high
3
When the internal temperature of the printer rises
quickly because the ventilation holes or other parts
are blocked
≥
Note that if two or more of these conditions exist,
printing will take even longer. Therefore, make every
effort to find a well-ventilated location for installing this
printer.
ª
Condensation
≥
When a bottle is taken out from a refrigerator in summer
and left standing for a while, droplets of water will form
on it. This phenomenon is known as condensation.
Condensation will form if the printer or Ink Cassette/
Paper Set is moved to a location with a considerable
difference in temperature or humidity, such as:
1
A high-humidity location, such as one filled with steam
2
When suddenly moved from an air-conditioned
environment to one with high temperatures and high
humidity
3
A room that has just been heated
If condensation occurs, turn the power on and wait for 2
hours. If the paper or rollers are damp with condensation,
the printed surface that is produced may be dirty.
