Precautions
To ensure high quality, precise printing, always observe 
the following points. Failure to observe these points will 
not only result in poor quality prints, but also paper jams, 
malfunctions and breakdowns of the Photo Printer.
ªInk Cassette/Paper Set Notes
≥Use Ink Cassette/Paper Sets that bear the   mark.
≥Use the Ink Cassette with the paper provided in the 
same box. One Ink Cassette is designed to provide 
enough Ink Film to print the number of sheets provided 
in that Ink Cassette/Paper Set.
≥Do not store the Ink Cassettes or paper under high 
temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight. Doing so 
could result in a deterioration of printing quality. They 
may also become unusable.
≥Do not forcibly pull the Ink Film or paper. Do not allow 
finger prints or dust to attach to either, and do not allow 
them to get wet.
≥Do not reuse printed paper or Ink Cassettes.
≥Do not open the Ink Cassette/Paper Set package 
immediately. Allow it to warm up to the surrounding 
temperature before using it. If the Ink Cassette/Paper 
Set has been stored at a low temperature, condensation 
could form when brought into a warmer room.
≥If the Ink Cassette/Paper Set is defective due to a 
manufacturing error on the part of Panasonic, we will 
replace the Ink Cassette/Paper Set with an equivalent 
Ink Cassette/Paper Set. Panasonic shall not bear any 
responsibility beyond replacing the product.
ªInk Cassette Notes
≥Do not remove the label from the Ink Cassette.
≥Before inserting an Ink Cassette, take up any slack in 
the Ink Film. Take up slack by pressing your finger in the 
hole with the arrow on it, and turning the spool in the 
direction of the arrow.
≥Make sure that the Ink Cassette is oriented properly, and 
insert it all the way in.
≥If you change the Ink Cassette type after selecting 
pictures in Card Input, you must reselect the pictures.
≥When a used up Ink Cassette is inserted, it may take 
about 15 seconds to operate correctly.
ªPaper/Paper Cassette Notes
≥Do not fold or bend the paper. Lay it flat, smooth it out, 
and insert it into the Paper Cassette with the print side 
(the glossy side of the paper with no markings on it) up.
≥Do not load too much paper in the Paper Cassette. No 
more than 25 sheets of 4 x 5-7/8 (100 x 148 mm) 
printing paper or 36 sheets of adhesive paper, 16 Pre-
Cut adhesive paper, 4 x 6 (100 x 150 mm) printing 
paper without borders should be loaded.
≥Do not allow dirt on the print side (white side) of the 
paper.
≥When printing on the back side of paper with another 
printer, the ink may not easily dry depending on the type 
of printer used.
≥Dust and humidity damage the paper. Remove all 
remaining paper from the Paper Cassette, return it to the 
original bag, and store it flat.

45 ªBefore, During, and After Printing
≥Do not write on the paper before printing on it.
≥Do not forcibly pull out the Ink Cassette or paper, shake 
the printer, or add more paper while printing is in 
progress.
≥Removing the Paper Cassette while printing is in 
progress could result in a paper jam in which the 
jammed paper cannot be pulled out. The jammed paper 
can only be removed when the Paper Cassette is 
inserted.
≥While printing is in progress, no other buttons besides 
the Display/Cancel button used to cancel multiple prints 
will work.
≥The printer will make a little noise when printing, but this 
is not a malfunction.
≥Printing 2 or more pages, or printing in cold or hot 
temperatures may take a little more time.
≥If ink or paper runs out while printing is in progress, it is 
unnecessary to press the print button again after you 
replace the ink or paper.
≥If you print a dark image with this Photo Printer, it may 
become a lighter print by using the AGC (Auto Gain 
Control).
≥When paper is bent or wrinkled, it may fall out of the 
paper exit tray (located above the Paper Cassette).
≥Do not allow more than 10 sheets of printed paper to 
collect in the paper exit tray, as doing so may lead to a paper jam.
ªNotes on Using 4 x 6 (100 x 150 mm) 
printing paper
≥When printing borderless prints, select [With trim]. A 
blank border can be created around the top, bottom, left 
and right sides of a picture when selecting [Without 
trim].
≥When printing with borderless paper, the top, bottom, 
left and right sides of the picture will be cut off.
Cutting Borderless Paper After Printing
1Fold in both directions along the perforation 
lines.
2Tear along the perforation lines.
≥There are perforation lines on both ends of the 
borderless paper. Be sure to tear off both sides.
ªNotes on Handling Finished Prints
In order to preserve finished prints in the best condition, 
always observe the following points. Failure to observe 
these points could result in a deterioration of print quality 
or injur y.
≥Do not affix cellophane tape to the printed surface. In 
particular, be careful not to let plastic desk pads, 
business card cases, or plastic erasers come into 
contact with the printed surface.
≥Do not touch the printed surface with your fingers.
≥Do not spill or apply volatile solvents such as alcohol to 
the printed surface. Doing so could result in 
discolouration or fading.
≥Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one 
another. Doing so could cause color transfer between 
the two images. Color transfer could also occur if a 
printed surface is left in contact with any other type of 
paper under pressure for an extended period of time.
≥Do not store prints under conditions of high 
temperatures or high humidity. Leaving prints under 
such conditions for an extended period of time could 
cause a deterioration in print quality. Do not leave prints 
exposed to direct sunlight.
≥When prints are to be stored in an album, select an 
album that has nylon pockets. Other materials could 
cause color transfer or discolouration. (Polypropylene 
and cellophane are also acceptable materials.)
ªNotes on Cards
≥If a card’s image does not display properly, turn off the 
power, remove the card, and re-insert it.
≥Some titles recorded to the cards are not displayed on 
the Digital Video Camera.
≥This Photo Printer is based on the DCF standards 
(Design rule for Camera File system) which were 
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information 
Technology Industries Association).
≥When the Index Display appears and the image is 
based on the DCF standards is selected, the folder/file 
number of this image is displayed.
ªNotes on the SD Memory Card Write-
Protect Switch
≥The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding 
the switch to [LOCK] prevents the recording of data to 
the card as well as the deletion of data from the card. 
Sliding back the switch permits such operations.
ªAbout the Exif Print
This unit corresponds to the image format Exif 2.2 (Exif 
Print) that has been established by JEITA.
It is realized that the printed Image is more clear with 
recording information added on the image by the Digital 
Camera.

When the following settings are configured, they will 
remain stored until they are altered again, even if the 
power is turned off. (If the Photo Printer’s power is turned 
off by disconnecting the AC Power Cord instead of 
pressing the power button, all configurations will be lost.)

ªNotes on Handling the Photo Printer
≥When spraying or using insecticides or other volatile 
solvents in the vicinity of the Photo Printer, be careful 
not to allow any to come into contact with the printer. If 
such solvents come into contact with the printer, they 
can damage the outer case and cause the surface to 
peel. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to be in 
contact with the printer for extended periods of time.
≥When not using the Photo Printer for extended periods 
of time, turn off the power and disconnect the Power 
Cable from the outlet to conserve energy. (0.04A of 
electricity are still used when the power button alone is 
turned off and the computer is on STAND BY.) Since 
damage to the printer may be incurred, turn on the 
power at least once every 6 months and use the Photo 
Printer.
≥When transporting this printer, during a move for 
example, pack the printer back into its original case. If 
you no longer possess the case, wrap the printer in a 
blanket or other such cloth material to prevent any 
damage. (Remove the Paper Cassette and the Ink 
Cassette, and close the lid.)
ªInstallation Notes
≥Install the Photo Printer away from other devices that 
generate magnetic fields.
≥Keep the Photo Printer away from magnetized 
equipment (such as a cell phone, microwave oven, TV, 
video game equipment, etc.). Electromagnetic waves 
produced in this Photo Printer and in televisions, video 
games, and other devices can cause mutual 
interference, disrupting both the display on the television 
screen and the print picture or damage of the card.
ªMaintenance Notes
≥Do not use Benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents to 
clean the printer. Most of the printer surface is plastic. 
Do not use solvents such as Benzene and paint thinner 
to wipe the printer since they can damage the surface of 
the printer and cause the surface to peel. To clean the 
surface, wipe up any dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the 
Photo Printer is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in 
kitchen detergent (neutral) diluted with water and wring 
out thoroughly. Then, wipe off the dust with the cloth and 
wipe again with a dry cloth. When using a synthetic 
cloth, follow the precautions in the cloth’s usage 
instructions.
≥When the ventilation holes become dusty, remove the 
Ink Cassette, and get rid of the dust using a vacuum 
cleaner. If dust gets into the Photo Printer from the 
ventilation holes, the 
Ink Film becomes dusty and the 
picture will not be printed clearly.
ªInternal Temperature
≥Although it varies with the ambient temperature, if the 
internal temperature of the Photo Printer rises above a 
certain level while printing, the error message “The 
temperature of the device is too high, please wait.” will 
appear on the TV Screen. In this situation, the printing 
operation will halt temporarily. This is not a malfunction. 
After waiting for a few minutes for the temperature to 
drop (four or five minutes at the most), the Photo Printer 
will automatically resume printing. The printing operation 
may be halted temporarily in any of the following cases, 
which will result in a longer than normal printing time.
1 When printing images continuously
2 When the ambient temperature is high
3 When the internal temperature of the printer rises 
quickly because the ventilation holes or other parts 
are blocked
≥Note that if two or more of these conditions exist, 
printing will take even longer. Therefore, make every 
effort to find a well-ventilated location for installing this 
printer.
ªCondensation
≥When a bottle is taken out from a refrigerator in summer 
and left standing for a while, droplets of water will form 
on it. This phenomenon is known as condensation. 
Condensation will form if the printer or Ink Cassette/
Paper Set is moved to a location with a considerable 
difference in temperature or humidity, such as:
1 A high-humidity location, such as one filled with steam
2 When suddenly moved from an air-conditioned 
environment to one with high temperatures and high 
humidity
3 A room that has just been heated
If condensation occurs, turn the power on and wait for 2 
hours. If the paper or rollers are damp with condensation, 
the printed surface that is produced may be dirty.

Q&A
ªAbout Functions
1: What should I do about poor coloring?
1: The color and other parameters can be adjusted by 
selecting [Picture], under [OPTION] on the MENU 
screen.
2: Is it possible to insert a title for each [Copy] Mode 
screen?
2: It is possible in [Copy] Mode, but it is not possible to 
insert a different title for each mini-frame. It is not 
possible in normal [Select] Mode.
3: Why do pictures get cut off when I print them on 
borderless paper?
3: Borderless paper designed for 4 x 6 (100 x 150 
mm) printing paper pictures have a length-width ratio 
of 1: . The length-width ratios of Digital Video 
Cameras are 3:4, so the top and bottom portions of 
pictures will be cut when printing on borderless 
paper.
ªAbout the Photo Printer in General
4: What is the “thermal sublimation transfer 
printing system”?
4: This is a type of printing method offering excellent 
image quality. Other methods exist, such as the 
direct thermal printing method.
5: What does “256 color gradations” mean?
5: It means that the Photo Printer can express 256 
gradations of color between white and the darkest 
color formed by the 3 primary colors. Because each 
of the 3 colors can be expressed in 256 gradations, 
the total numbers of colors is 256 x 256 x 256 
(approximately 16,780,000 full colors).
6: How do the Ink Cassettes interact with the 
paper?
6: The Ink Cassettes contain 3 colors in one unit: cyan, 
magenta, and yellow. The printing paper has a 
special coating that improves the adhesion of the ink.
7: What is the maximum number of picture files that 
the Photo Printer can handle?
7: The Photo Printer can handle up to 20,000 files.
8: Regarding cards, how many pixels can the Photo 
Printer handle in an image?
8: The Photo Printer can handle up to approximately 25 
million (6,144 x 4,096) pixel images.
9: How should I store my prints?
9: We recommend keeping them in an album. When 
doing so, make sure that the pockets are made of 
nylon, polypropylene, or cellophane. Using other 
materials may result in color transfer or discoloration.
ªAbout Paper and Ink Cassettes
10: How should I store the Ink Cassettes and paper 
after having opened them?
10: Do not leave the Ink Cassettes or paper in a location 
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a location subjected 
to high temperature or high humidity. Place the 
cassette or paper back in its original bag, and then 
store them flat. These supplies should be used as 
soon as possible after they are opened.11: What kind of paper can the Photo Printer print 
on?
11: The Photo Printer can print on 4 x 5-7/8 (100 x 148 
mm) printing paper, 16 Pre-Cut adhesive paper and 
4 x 6 (100 x 150 mm) printing paper. Do not use 
other types of paper, since doing so could cause 
paper jams or other malfunctions. Use the special Ink 
Cassette/Paper Set when printing.
12: Can the Photo Printer print images 
continuously?
12: If [Number] is selected under [OPTION] on the 
MENU screen, up to 10 sheets can be printed 
continuously. Do not allow more than 10 sheets of 
printed paper to collect in the paper exit tray, as doing so may lead to a paper jam.
13: How many sheets can be printed with a single Ink 
Cassette?
13: An Ink Cassette can print the number of sheets that 
are included in the same Ink Cassette/Paper Set. For 
example, the Ink Cassette/Paper Set VW-APA50U is 
intended for 50 sheets, so the Ink Cassette can print 
50 sheets. Ink Cassettes cannot be rewound and 
used again.
14: What kinds of Ink Cassettes and printing paper 
can I use with the Photo Printer?
14: Use Ink Cassette/Paper Sets that bear the   
mark.
ªAbout Unclean Thermal Heads
If a line appears across a printed picture and pictures 
cannot be printed clearly, Thermal head (the 1 portion on 
the below picture), located in the insertion portion of the 
Ink Cassette, may be dirty. In that case, insert a cotton 
swab (about 6 (15 cm) in length) all the way into the Ink 
Cassette and clean thermal head.
≥Be sure to disconnect the Power Cable from the outlet 
before cleaning thermal head.
≥Do not insert your finger into the Ink Cassette Insert 
Location, as an injury may result.
