About Paper and Ink Cassettes
10: How should I store the Ink Cassettes and paper
after having opened them?
10: Do not leave the Ink Cassettes or paper in a location
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a location subjected

store them flat. These supplies should be used as
soon as possible after they are opened.

on?
11: The Photo Printer can print on 4" x 5-7/8" (100 x 148
mm) printing paper, 16 Pre-Cut adhesive paper and

other types of paper, since doing so could cause
paper jams or other malfunctions. Use the special Ink
Cassette/Paper Set when printing.

continuously?
12: If [Number] is selected under [OPTION] on the

continuously.
Do not allow more than 10 sheets of

doing so may lead to a paper jam.
13: How many sheets can be printed with a single Ink
Cassette?
13: An Ink Cassette can print the number of sheets that
are included in the same Ink Cassette/Paper Set. For
example, the Ink Cassette/Paper Set VW-APA50U is
intended for 50 sheets, so the Ink Cassette can print
50 sheets. Ink Cassettes cannot be rewound and
used again.
14: What kinds of Ink Cassettes and printing paper
can I use with the Photo Printer?
14: Use Ink Cassette/Paper Sets that bear the

swab (about 6" (15 cm) in length) all the way into the Ink
Cassette and clean thermal head.

Be sure to disconnect the Power Cable from the outlet
before cleaning thermal head.

Do not insert your finger into the Ink Cassette Insert
