Getting Started
Preparations for printing images. A Postcard size (4 x 6 in.) Color Ink Cassette/Paper Set (sold separately) 
(p.  2) will be used as an example; however, preparation is the same for other sizes. 
T
ake care not to get any dust on the paper since it may cause lines on the printed photos or damage the printer  (p. 
 5).
Preparing the Ink Cassette
Ink sheet
Check the ink cassette and ink sheet.
 OHold the ink cassette without touching the ink sheet 
and check if the size of the paper you are going to 
print matches the paper size shown on the ink cassette 
(Postcard (4x6in) Size), Card Size, etc.).
 OCheck that the ink sheet is taut with no slack. If the 
ink sheet is slack, turn the sprocket as shown in the 
illustration to tighten it, otherwise the ink sheet may be 
torn when it is inserted into SELPHY.
 OTake care not to touch the ink sheet, not to handle the ink cassette with\
 wet hands, and not to 
get any dust or dirt in the ink sheet. Dirt and water drops may cause li\
nes on photos, poor print 
quality, a tear in the ink sheet, or cause the printer to malfunction  (p. 
 5). OWhen tightening, turn the sprocket gently without force. Forcing it may \
cause a tear in the ink 
sheet or the ink sheet will run out before completing a photo print, res\
ulting in leftover paper.
 ODo not reuse a spent ink cassette since this may damage the printer or c\
ause malfunction.

on the paper cassette (POSTCARD (4x6in), CARD SIZE, 
etc.) match.

 OThere are two layers of lids. Open the outer lid  first, 
then open the inner lid .
Glossy side
Set the paper.
 O Set the paper into the paper cassette that you prepared. OYou can place up to 18 sheets in the paper cassette. 
Inserting 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or 
cause malfunction.
 OHold the paper as shown in the illustration and load with 
the glossy side up. (Do not touch the print side (glossy 
side) of the paper with your fingers. This may prevent 
you from making clean prints.)
 OIf a protective sheet is included with the paper, remove it 
and set only the paper into the cassette.
 OWhen making Postcard size prints that have an area for 
pasting a stamp, insert the cards so that the stamp area 
is faced as shown in the illustration.
Close the lid.
 OClose the inner lid until it clicks into place. Leave the 
outer lid open during printing.

portions peeled
 - write on a sheet before printing - reuse paper for printing on the blank part  (p.  5). ODo not touch the springs on the paper cassette.

sized paper cassettes.
 OTake care not to touch or rub the print (the glossy) side of the 
paper, not to handle the paper with wet hands, and not to get any 
dust or dirt on the paper. Dirt and water drops may cause lines on 
photos, poor print quality, or damage the printer 

(p. 
 5).
Attaching the Dust Protection Cover
By attaching the dust protection cover DPC-CP100, you can prevent dust o\
r dirt from accumulating on the 
paper. The dust protection cover may not be included in some regions. Purchase \
separately if required.
 OInsert the dust protection cover as shown in the 
illustration.
 OIn a place with a lot of dust or dirt, or outdoors, the dust protection \
cover may not be able to 
prevent dust or dirt from accumulating on the paper, so take care to select a clean environment 
when using SELPHY.
