ª Notes on Handling Finished Prints

In order to preserve finished prints in the best condition, 
always observe the following points. Failure to observe 
these points could result in a deterioration of print quality 
or injury.
≥Do not affix cellophane tape to the printed surface. 

Particularly be careful not to let plastic desk pads, 
business card cases, or plastic erasers come into 
contact with the printed surface.

≥Do not touch the printed surface with your fingers.
≥Do not spill or apply volatile solvents such as alcohol to 

the printed surface. Doing so could result in 
discolouration or fading.

≥Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one 

another. Doing so could cause colour transfer between 
the two images. Colour transfer could also occur if a 
printed surface is left in contact with any other type of 
paper under pressure for an extended period of time.

≥Do not store prints under conditions of high 

temperatures or high humidity. Leaving prints under 
such conditions for an extended period of time could 
cause a deterioration in print quality. Do not leave prints 
exposed to direct sunlight.

≥When prints are to be stored in an album, select an 

album that has nylon pockets. Other materials could 
cause colour transfer or discolouration. (Polypropylene 
and cellophane are also acceptable materials.)

ª Notes on Automatic Printing

≥Auto Print may stop if the Photo Printer’s speed is 

slowed down due to its cooling mechanisms. In this 
case, perform the Auto Print through the Digital Video 
Camera again.

≥If several photoshots were recorded consecutively, 

some prints may be skipped during Auto Print.

≥If the ink or paper is replaced while Auto Print is in 

progress, one image may be inadvertently printed twice.

≥The Auto Print function cannot be used to print multiple 

copies of the same image in succession.

≥To stop Auto Print while it is in progress, press the stop 

button on the Digital Video Camera. Pressing the 
CANCEL button on the Photo Printer will not stop Auto 
Printing.

≥A continuous photoshot pictures cannot be Auto Printed.

ª Notes on Cards

≥If a card’s image does not display properly, turn off the 

power, remove the card, and reinsert it.

≥Titles combined with stamps and other such things 

recorded to cards may not always display on the Digital 
Video Camera.

ª Notes on the SD Memory Card Write-

≥The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding 

the switch to [LOCK] prevents the recording of data to 
the card as well as the deletion of data from the card. 
Sliding back the switch permits such operations.

ª Notes on Storing Settings to the Photo 

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 Power Cable instead of pressing 
the power button, all configurations will be lost.)

ª Notes on the Screen Saver

When the same picture displays for an extended period of 
time, an after-image may be burned into the LCD Monitor 
depending on the picture. However, the monitor will not 
be broken. If this occurs, turning off the power and leaving 
it off for several hours will cause the after-image to 
disappear. To prevent after-images from occurring, the 
Photo Printer contains a setting that can cause a screen 
saver to display if no operations are performed on the 
printer within 30 minutes.

ª Notes on Handling the Digital Photo 

≥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 
either.

≥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 some 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.

≥The magnetic fields generated by stereo speakers or 

large motors will distort the pictures produced by the 
Photo Printer. 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.
