•You cannot  print  via  a  wireless  connection  if  a  memory  card  is  in  the  
printer,  or  if  the  printer  is  connected  with  a  cable  to  a  camera  or  
computer.  
•You  cannot  print  via  a  wireless  connection  between  the  printer  and  a  
computer.  
•The  maximum  image  data  size  that  can  be  transmitted
  is  4  MB.
This section explains how to print images from an IrDA (infrared) 
enabled mobile telephone.Supported DevicesCheck whether or not your mobile  telephone has the required functions 
for IrDA enabled printing.
Requirement 1: Built-in infrared wireless port supporting the IrDA 
protocol.
Requirement 2: Built-in camera capable of recording and saving image 
data (JPEG images of 4 MB or less). 
•Sending a  large  image  may  require  a  data  transfer  time  of  five  minutes  or  
more.
• Mail  and  address  book  information  cannot  be  printed.
• Mobile  telephone  security  settings  prevent  printing  of  images  
downloaded  from  the  Internet  and  images  downloaded  from  a  URL  sent  
by  email.  
•Movies  cannot  be  printed.  
•The  printer  may  not
 be  able  to  print  images  saved  onto  the  memory  card  
of  some  types  of  mobile  telephones.  
•The  position  and  orientation  (horizontal  or  vertical)  of  images  for  printing  
is  set  automatically  by  the  printer.  Since  images  are  enlarged  or  reduced  
to  fit  the  paper  size,  the  edges  of  the  image  may  
be cropped  with  certain  
combinations  of  image  and  paper  sizes.  
• Data  transmission  times  are  long  when  the  data  sizes  are  large.  
Accordingly,  it  may  take  some  time  before  printing  starts.  
•Do  not  perform  any  print  operations  with  a  camera  or  computer  after  a  
data  transfer  with  a  mobile  telephone  has  been initiated  until  after  the  
printer  has  finished  printing.

OverviewMaintenance, Storage and 
TransportThis section explains how main tain, store and transport the 
printer. Internal CareIf fine stripes appear on printed images,  there is a possibility that dirt or 
dust has become lodged inside the printer. Use the supplied cleaner to 
remove the dirt or dust.1
Remove the ink cassette.
2
Insert the cleaner with the arrow side upward all the way 
into the slot, then remove it, repeating this two or three 
times. 
Exterior CareWipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.

• Remove the paper and ink cassettes from the printer for storage. 
Store the paper cassettes wi th the lids closed. Remove the sheets of paper, 
place them into their bag and replace them in their box, storing them flat. 
Store the ink cassette in a bag so that dust does not get on it.
• Store the printer flat so that dust does not enter into it.Battery• After you finish using the battery, attach the battery pack terminal  cover and store it at a cool temperature (0°-30°C/32°-86°F).
Storing the battery fully charged for long periods of time (about 1 year) 
shortens the battery life and causes i ts performance to decline. When you do 
not use it for long period of time, full y charge it once a year and store after 
fully discharging it in the printer. 
Printed Paper• If you store your prints in albums, select albums with photo covers  made of nylon, polypropylene or cellophane. 
Other materials may cause the images  to change color or transfer ink. 
• Avoid storing prints in the followi ng types of places to prevent the 
image quality from deteriorating.
•Places  with  high  temperatures  (40°C/104°F  or  higher)  
•Places  with  high  humidity  or  dusty  places
•Places  subject  to  direct  sunlight
• Prints may change color over time depending on their storage 
conditions and the passing of time. 
• Remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the covers. 
• Transport the printer wrapped in a soft cloth to avoid scratching it. 
Dust entering the printe r may prevent it from printing cleanly.
