Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

•

Operate the printer on 120 V AC, 60 Hz (for

the US model) or 220 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

(for the models for other areas) only.

•

Be careful not to set or drop any heavy

objects on the power cord, or to damage the

power cord in any way. Never operate this

printer with a damaged power cord.

•

Should any solid object or liquid fall into

the cabinet, unplug the printer and have it

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

•

Never disassemble the printer.

•

To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by

the plug. Never pull the power cord itself.

•

When the printer is not going to be used for

an extended period of time, disconnect the

power cord from the wall outlet.

•

Do not handle the printer roughly.

•

To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

always unplug the printer from the

electrical outlet before cleaning and

servicing the printer.

On installation

•

Avoid placing the printer in a location

subject to:

–

vibration

–

high humidity

–

excessive dust

–

direct sunlight

–

extremely high or low temperatures

•

Do not use electrical equipment near the

printer. The printer will not work properly

in electromagnetic fields.

•

The printer is designed to operate

horizontally. Never attempt to operate the

printer in a tilted position.

•

Do not place heavy objects on the printer.

•

Leave enough room around the printer so

that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

Blocking these holes may cause internal

heat build-up.

On moisture condensation

If the printer is brought directly from a cold

location to warm location or placed in an

extremely warm or humid room, moisture

may condense inside the unit. In such cases

the printer will probably not work properly

and may even develop a fault if you persist in

using it. If moisture condensation occurs, turn

off the power and do not use the printer for at

least one hour.

On transport

When you transport the printer, remove the

print cartridge, paper tray, the “Memory

Stick” or PC card from the printer and put the

printer and its peripherals in the original box

with the protective packaging.

If you no longer have the original box and

packing parts, use similar packing material so

that the printer will not be damaged while

transporting.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a

soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened

with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any

type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine,

which may damage the finish.

On restrictions on duplication

If duplicating documents with the printer, pay

special attention to the following:

•

Duplication of banknotes, coins, or

securities is against the law.

•

Duplication of blank certificates, licenses,

passports, private securities, or unused

postal stamps is also against the law.

•

TV program, films, video tapes, others’

portraits or other materials may be

copyrighted.

Unauthorized video printing

of such materials may infringe the

provisions of the copyright law.

About “Memory Stick” and

PC card

The printer can read and write “Memory

Stick” and PC card (PCMCIA ATA compatible

type II flash memory cards with a power

specification of 5V or 3.3/5V).

By using a

commercially available PC card adaptor, you

can also use Smart Media and other types of

compact flash cards.

On “Memory Stick”

There are two types of “Memory Stick”:

general “Memory Stick” and “MagicGate

Memory Stick.”

The “MagicGate Memory

Stick” is equipped with the MagicGate

copyright protection technology that uses

encryption technology.

You can use both types

of “Memory Stick” with your printer.

However, because the printer does not support

the MagicGate standards, data recorded with

the printer is not subject to MagicGate

copyright protection.

To protect “Memory Stick” images

To prevent accidental erasure of important

image data, slide the write protect switch on

the “Memory Stick” to the write protect

position when you just view the images.

Only when you write, delete data, or format a

“Memory Stick,” slide it to the write enable

position.

Notes

•You cannot use the PC cards with the power

specification of 3V only.

•Do not insert other types of PC card into the

printer’s insertion slot.

The printer may be

damaged.

•Do not drop, bent, or submit the “Memory Stick”

or PC card to external shock.

•Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick”

or PC card.

•Avoid getting liquids on the “Memory Stick” or

PC card.

•Avoid using or storing the “Memory Stick” or PC

card in a location subject to:

–

extremely high temperature such as the hot

inside of a car or the outdoors exposed to a

burning sun, or a place near a heater.

–

direct sunlight

–

high humidity

–

corrosive substances

–

excessive dust

–

electrostatic or electronic noises

–

magnetic fields

•Avoid touching the connector of the “Memory

Stick” or contacting it with a metal object.

•When attaching a label to the “Memory Stick” as

specified in the illustration, use the label supplied

for the “Memory Stick” only.

Do not use any other

labels.

•When storing and carrying the “Memory Stick” or

PC card, keep it in its original case to ensure

protection of important data.

•Avoid removing the “Memory Stick” or PC card

from the insertion slot or turning off the power of

the printer while the printer is accessing the

“Memory Stick” or PC card.

Otherwise, data may

be rendered unreadable.

• When using a compact flash card or Smart Media,

use a commercially available PC card adaptor that

is compatible with the card.

Attach the card into

the adaptor and then insert it into the printer.

For

how to install the card and adaptor, refer to the

operating instructions of the PC card adaptor.

•Avoid inserting or removing the compact flash

card or Smart Media into or out of the PC card

adaptor while the PC card adaptor is inserted in

the printer.

The data may be rendered unreadable

or erased.
