Precautions
Safety
• Operate the printer and the AC power adaptor using
the power source specified in “Specifications”
(page 62).
• Be careful not to damage the power cord by placing or
dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the
printer or AC power adaptor with a damaged power
cord.
• If you do not intend to use the printer or AC power
adaptor for a long time, disconnect the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord by grasping the plug, not the
cord itself.
• The negligible amount of electric current will flow
into the AC power adaptor as long as the AC power
adaptor is plugged into the wall outlet.
• While the AC power adaptor is in use, it gets warm.
But this is normal.
• Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact with
the metal parts of the AC power adaptor or connecting
plate. If it does, a short may occur and the unit may be
damaged.
• Always keep the metal contacts of the AC power
adaptor clean.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.
• Do not disassemble or convert the unit.
• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric
shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the
unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to
enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the
cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire
or electric shock.
• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the printer
from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with
other units or by covering the printer with a cloth etc.
• If the printer malfunctions or if a foreign body falls
into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately
and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony
dealer.
Installation
• Avoid placing the printer or camera in a location
subject to:
– mechanical vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– where it is exposed to rain
– direct or excessive sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
– close to sources of strong magnetism
– close to sources of powerful electromagnetic
radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
• Do not use other electronic equipment near the printer.
It will not work properly in strong electromagnetic
fields.
• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the
printer.
• Keep the AC power adaptor away from AM receivers,
because it will disturb AM reception.
Condensation
• If the printer is subject to wide and sudden changes in
temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of
moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In
such cases the printer will probably not work properly,
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.
If condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the
printer to stand for at least one hour.
• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden
changes in temperature, condensation may form on
the print cartridge or paper. This will cause the printer
to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in
this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.
Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations
subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.
• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its
original packing and reseal the package. If possible,
keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location.
To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its
sealed package, in a warm room for several hours.
Doing so prevents condensation from forming when
the printing pack is removed from its package.
Location
To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room
around the printer for air to circulate through the vents
on the left hand side of the cabinet.
On transportation
• Do not transport the printer with the supplied
accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• Retain the original carton and packing materials in
case you have to transport the unit in the future.
