Tips for printing
To get the best printing results, be sure to read the instruction manual of the
application you are using. Information on how to change the resolution and
image size is especially important. In addition, read the following tip.
Print in an environment with as large color display capability as possible.
The number of available colors of some applications is determined according to
the display color setting of the PC used in printing. To print the best images
possible, it is recommended to print from a system capable of displaying 64000
colors or 16.77 million colors if possible.
Adjust the image size and resolution (with an application that prints images
according to the resolution of the printer).
If the application in use is capable of adjusting the image resolution and size,
set the resolution to 320 dpi and the size to 1280 x 960 pixels or smaller. (If the
image size in pixels is larger, the image may be printed on more than one sheet
of print paper.)

Care and storage
Beware of moisture condensation.
Moisture condensation means that water vapor in the air becomes liquid and
sticks to the printer surface. This phenomenon is caused by the following.
Rapidly heating the room in which the printer is placed
Cool air (from an air conditioner, etc.) blown directly at the printer
Moving the printer from a cold place to a warm place
Moisture in the air will condense on the paper, deteriorating print quality or
causing paper jams.
Under conditions where moisture condensation has occurred or may occur, do not
operate the printer until it is dry or until there is no possibility that condensation
will occur.
Do not spray volatile solvent on the printer or allow the printer to be in
contact with rubber or plastic products for an extended period of time.
For example, spraying an insecticide on the printer or wiping it with thinner or
benzine may deteriorate or discolor the printer cabinet. Such deterioration and
discoloring also occurs if the printer is in contact with rubber or plastic products
for an extended period of time.
Operate the printer at least once every six months.
If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, it may malfunction.
Operate the printer at least once every six months.
Carry the printer with both hands.
When lifting or carrying the printer, use both hands.
Transport the printer carefully.
When transporting the printer, place it in the original box with the original
packing material. If you don't have the original packaging, pack the printer with
enough cushioning material to absorb any impacts during transportation. Be sure
to remove the SmartMedia, CompactFlash and automatic feeder from the printer.

Setting up the printer
Connecting the power supply
To supply power from the provided AC adapter
1. Plug the printer power cord into the AC adapter.
2. Plug the AC adapter power cord into a wall outlet,
then plug the other end of the printer power cord
into the printer's DC power input connector.
3. Press and hold the POWER button for more than 1.5
seconds.
4. The printer turns ON with a beep tone, and the
control panel is displayed.
5. To turn the printer OFF, press and hold the POWER
button for more than 1.5 seconds. The control panel
will turn off and the printer turns OFF with a short
beep.
If you want to use the AC adapter as the power
supply to the printer, remove the rechargeable
battery if possible. This will help prevent deteriora-
tion of the rechargeable battery.
If the printer power cord is accidentally unplugged
from the printer during printing, turn the printer
OFF, plug the printer power cord into the printer's
DC power input connector, and then turn the printer
ON again. Leaving the printer unplugged in printing
mode may cause it to malfunction.

Cautions
Loading print paper in the paper feed
cassette
• Be careful not to stain or
damage the paper feed
guide.
• Do not touch the print
surface (the glossy
surface with nothing
printed on it) when
handling print paper.
1
Open the top case of the paper feed cassette by
holding the finger hooks on both sides of the
cassette.
• Do not leave print paper
in a place subject to
excessive dust. Clear
prints cannot be obtained
if dust or fingerprints are
installed on the print
surface.
• To prevent malfunction,
use the dedicated print
paper only.
• The maximum number
of print paper sheets that
can be placed in the
paper feed cassette is 25.
Be careful not to exceed
this number when
adding print paper. If too
many print paper sheets
are loaded, the printer
may jam.
2
Hold the bundle of print paper sheets so that the
protective sheet is on top, then insert the bundle
into the paper feed cassette pocket. After inserting
the print paper, remove the protective sheet. Each
bundle of sheets can consist of up to 25 sheets of
print paper.
• To prevent paper jam, do
not fold or bend print
paper.
• Do not write on print
paper before printing
images on it. If you want
to write something, be
sure to write it after
printing, using an oil-
based ink. It is not
possible to print word
processor or typewriter
characters on print
paper.
Close the top case. Close the top case of the paper
