For Safe Use  
It is dangerous to tamper with the printer because this can cause fire or electric shock possibly resulting in  
death or serious injury. Before use, read the safety precautions thoroughly and follow them for proper

WARNING  
I If anything strange occurs with the printer, unplug the power cord.  
If the printer emits smoke, strange smells, or strange sounds, turn off and unplug the printer  
to prevent fire or electric shock. Then contact your dealer.  
I Should any liquid or foreign object fall into the printer, unplug the power cord.  
Do not allow any liquids, metals, or inflammable objects to get into the printer through the  
vent. This may cause fire or electric shock. Turn off and unplug the printer, and then contact  
your dealer.  
I If the printer cabinet is damaged, unplug the power cord.  
Using the printer when the cabinet is damaged may cause fire or electric shock. Turn off and  
unplug the printer, and then contact your dealer.  
I If the power cord is damaged, unplug it.  
A damaged power cord may result in fire or electric shock. Turn the printer off and unplug the  
power cord while being careful not to touch the wires in the cord. Then contact your dealer.

WARNING  
I Do not place heavy objects on the printer.  
Doing so may deform the printer cabinet, resulting in fire or electric shock. If the printer falls  
out of place or is dropped, it may be damaged.  
I Do not install the printer in the following places.  
To prevent fire, electric shock, and printer malfunction do not install the printer in the  
following places.  
Dusty, humid, or oily places  
Should any dust or liquid get into the printer, it may result in fire or electric shock.  
Extremely hot places  
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight or extremely high temperature such as near a  
heater. Doing so may deform the printer cabinet, resulting in fire or electric shock.  
Use the printer at the ambient temperature of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C) and humidity of 30 to  
85 %.  
I Do not use the printer with a power supply other than that specified.  
Incorrect voltage may damage printer parts, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.  
I Connect the power cord correctly.  
For example, if the power cord is plugged in loosely, it may cause a fire or electric shock.  
Push the plug all the way into the outlet.  
I Make sure that excessive dust and foreign matter do not accumulate on the  
power cord.  
Dust and foreign matter conduct electricity, which can cause fire and electric shock. If  
excessive dust and foreign matter accumulate on the cord, unplug the cord and clean it.  
I Immediately unplug the power cord when an electric storm starts outside.  
The induced electricity from storms may cause fire, electric shock, or printer malfunction.  
I Do not overload the power outlet.  
This printer should be plugged into a separate 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz circuit. If the printer is on  
a circuit with other appliances, an overload may cause fire or electric shock.

CAUTION  
I Do not block the vent.  
Doing so may cause the printer to heat up, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.  
Do not block the top or side vent.  
Do not put the printer in the following places.  
Badly-ventilated place  
On a soft surface like a rug or bed  
I Do not put the printer on an unstable surface such as a shaky table.  
If the printer falls out of place, it may injure someone. This may also damage the printer or  
cause the printer to malfunction.  
I Do not touch the non-user-serviceable parts inside the printer.  
Doing so may cause injury or burns. This applies especially to children and those unfamiliar  
with the printer.  
I Do not move the printer when the power cord is taut.  
Doing so may damage the cord, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock. When moving the  
printer, unplug and bundle the power cord.  
I Do not pull the cord with a jerk.  
To unplug the power cord, hold it by the plug.  
Pulling on the cord may damage it, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.  
I Do not hold the power cord plug with wet hands.  
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Be sure hands are dry before handling.

CAUTION  
I Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.  
Accidentally touching a non-user-serviceable part may cause electric shock.  
I Unplug the printer if it will not be used for an extended period of time, for  
example while you are on a long trip.  
Otherwise, deteriorated insulation or leakage current may cause fire or electric shock.  
I 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, keep the printer  
turned on and wait until there is no possibility that condensation will occur.  
NOTE  
I 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.

Appendix  
GIntroduction to Color Printing  
Difference Between RGB and CMY  
Have you ever tried comparing actual printed images and images  
displayed on a personal computer? Have you ever noticed the  
differences in their colors? Could this be a malfunction in the  
printer? The answer is probably no. This is due to different types of  
color generation systems used between printers and PCs.  
Television and Computer displays express various colors by  
combining three colors referred to as the three primary colors of  
light, namely red (R), green (G) and blue (B). Any color can be  
created with these three colors. In addition, mixing equal amounts  
of these three colors results in the color white (W).  
This method is referred to as the additive color process because it  
represents any color by adding the primary colors together in  
different proportions.  
The three basic colors used by printers are magenta, cyan and yellow.  
Any color can be printed using these three colors. Mixing equal  
amounts of these three colors results in the color black. This method  
is referred to as the subtractive color process because various colors  
are expressed by absorbing a portion of the color white while  
reflecting the remaining colors.  
Tip  
• For example, if magenta (M) seems to be a little too strong during printing, this can be compensated for by slightly  
increasing the green (G) with an adjustment of the printer.

GDPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
DPOF refers to a format used by DPOF enabled digital cameras to record on a memory card printing information,  
such as the images to be printed or the number of prints. DPOF enables those images to be printed, or the number  
of prints to be designated with a digital camera that supports DPOF function, thereby eliminating the need to  
make the settings on the printer. Therefore, using a DPOF-compatible printer makes printing easy. The P-400 is  
compatible with DPOF selection of images, quantity, rotation and trimming. When a SmartMedia or PC card is  
inserted into the printer, DPOF information is read from the media and image selection is performed automatically.  
To re-enable DPOF selection, remove the card and then reinsert.
