So m e Do 's An d Do n 'ts O n Th e Sa fe

Use O f Eq u ip m e n t

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards

but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and

safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and

interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with

the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or

changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of

your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,

or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your

dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it

is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the

switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special

arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the

requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your

hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete

safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided

according to the instructions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

—

NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other

opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be

safe than sorry!

CAUTIONS

Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you

drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use

you notice that the cabinet is

damaged, shut the printer

down, unplug it and contact

your JVC dealer. Use of the

printer under these

conditions can lead to fire or

electric shock.

ABOUT THERMAL HEADS

• The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located

within the unit. The heads can become extremely

warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not

touch the thermal heads.

• When the printer is used for extended periods, the

thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR

heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print

quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a

decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may

need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer’s

power cord, or leave the cord near any heat-

generating appliance, as this can damage the cord.

Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power

cord. If the power cord

becomes cut or otherwise

damaged, contact your JVC

dealer. When unplugging the

printer, DO NOT pull on the

cord. Hold the plug itself and

remove it from the AC outlet.

Use of the printer with a

damaged power cord can

lead to fire, electric shock

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If condensation occurs inside the printer, it may adhere

to print paper during printing, causing poor quality

prints and paper jams. If you think condensation may

exist within the unit, let the unit sit for at least 2 hours

(with the power on) to dry sufficiently. If paper is stuck

within the unit, remove it before turning the power on.

Unused print paper subjected to moisture should not

be used for printing.

• Condensation may occur in the following situations:

1) In a room when the heater suddenly comes on;

2) In the direct path of cool air from an air

conditioner;

3) When the unit is moved from a cool place to a

warm place.

and unit malfunctions.

DUST

DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or

modify the printer. There are high-voltage

components within the unit,

Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to

extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of

colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.

and the risk of electric shock

and unit malfunctions exists.

If a problem occurs, contact

your JVC dealer.

Failure to heed the following precautions may

result in damage to the printer.

1. DO NOT place the printer . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures

or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields

Illustrations of this video printer maydiffer

slightly from production models.

are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to

vibration.

2. DO NOT block the printer’s ventilation openings.

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.

4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of

the printer.

5. AVOID violent shocks to the printer during

transport.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC

could void user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

Be fo re Prin tin g

Afte r Prin tin g

● Do not touch printing side of the paper.

● Do not use paper that is torn or curled, as

this can result in paper jamming.

● Do not use paper that is wet or damp.

Printing may not be possible and paper

jamming may occur.

● If you touch a fresh print with wet hands,

the print image may be discolored.

● If a print absorbs organic cleaning solvents

(alcohol, ester, keton, etc.), the colours will

fade.

● If cellophane tape or soft PVC are affixed to

a print, the chemical reaction will cause

accelerated colour fading.

● Do not touch or pull out the ink cassette’s

ink sheet.

● Keep young children away from the ink

cassette’s ink sheet.

● When the ink cassette is empty, replace it

with a new one. An empty ink cassette

cannot be used. Do not try to rewind and

re-use cassette.

● Do not expose the paper to high tempera-

tures, high humidity and/or direct sunlight.

● You can write on one side of a PV-50SFAE

print sheet.

● When writing on a PV-50SFAE print sheet,

be sure to use a pencil or an oil-based

writing utensil. If you apply too much

pressure, you’ll leave imprints on the print

sheet.

Sto ra g e

● Avoid storing prints in areas subject to high

temperatures or humidity, or near a heater

or heat-generating device.

● If you want to write something or stick a

stamp on a PV-50SFAE sheet, wait until

printing is finished. If you write something

or stick something on before printing, the

printer may not work properly.

● Carefully read the precautions in the blank

paper sheet set box and on the back of the

blank sheet set before using.

● Do not store prints in a soft plastic folder.

Accelerated colour fading may result due to

the chemical reaction, or the print(s) may

stick to the file.

● Do not store 2 prints with the printed sides

touching, as the sheets may stick together.

● Store print paper in its box, on a level

surface. Failure to do so may cause the print

paper to curl or bend, which can result in a

paper jam within the unit.
