Wireless Printing
These procedures are for printing images over a wireless 
connection such as infrared data transmission (IrDA, IrSimple) or 
Bluetooth.
• When printing via a wireless connection, be sure there are no memory 
cards in the printer, and that the printer is not connected 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 2.5 MB.
This section explains how to print images from a mobile telephone 
which supports infrared data transmission (IrDA, IrSimple).
Supported Devices
Check whether or not your mobile telephone has the required functions 
for infrared data transmission enabled printing.
Requirement 1:Built-in infrared wireless port supporting IrDA or 
IrSimple.
Requirement 2:Built-in camera capable of recording and saving image 
data (JPEG images of 2.5 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.
The data transfer is initiated from the mobile telephone. See the user guide 
for your mobile telephone for details. 
1Check the printer to ensure that no memory cards are 
inserted, the Bluetooth unit is not attached or that a 
camera is not connected via a USB cable. 
2Press and hold the printer’s power button until the start-
up image appears in the LCD monitor.

Maintenance, Storage and 
Transport
This section explains how maintain, store and transport the 
printer. 
Internal Care
If 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.
1Remove the ink cassette.
2Insert the cleaner with the arrow side upward all the way 
into the slot, then remove it, repeating this two or three 
times. 
Exterior Care
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. 
Never apply solvents, such as benzine or thinners, or detergent to the 
printer. These substances may damage the exterior or peel the finish. 
Care of the Back
Clean the dust from the air vents on the back. Dust will get on the ink 
sheet if it enters from the air vents, preventing the printer from printing 
cleanly. If dust becomes lodged on the ink sheet, use a blower brush to 
remove it so that you do not touch the ink sheet. 
Maintenance
Slide the cleaner in 
and out 2 or 3 times.
