Storage
„ Storing paper and ink cassettes
After use, remove the paper cassette from the printer, close the cassette lid, leaving any 
remaining paper in the paper cassette. Then insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and 
store so that it lies flat.
Avoid placing the paper and ink cassette in locations subject to high temperature, high 
humidity or direct sunlight. After opening the original packaging, use all the paper as soon 
as possible.
„ When the printer is not to be used for an extended period of time
•  To conserve electric power, turn off the printer’s power and disconnect the power cord. 
(The printer will continue to consume approximately 1.5 W of power even after the unit 
is turned off by pressing the POWER button if it is plugged in.) Leaving the printer idle 
for long periods may impair functionality. Make sure you turn the printer’s power on and 
operate the printer at least once every six months.
•  Remove the paper cassette, ink cassette and memory card from the printer. Then close 
the printer covers.

Paper and Ink Cassettes (Sold Separately)
•  Starter kit is included (5 sheets of postcard size paper).
Use only paper and ink cassettes in the Paper and Ink set described below.
Do not use postcard and ink jet type paper.
(This will cause paper jams and the printer to malfunction.)
•  Protective coating is applied to the images that printed using paper and ink in the Paper and 
Ink set, so that print quality can be maintained over an extended period of time.
•  Ensure that only the ink cassette and papers, which come together as part of a set, are used 
with the printer. The ink cassettes included in the Paper and Ink set provide enough ink to 
print the number of sheets included in the Paper and Ink set. Always replace the ink cassette 
when using a new Paper and Ink set. Paper and ink cassettes are not sold separately.
•  The following paper cassette (sold separately) is required in order to print on wide 
size paper.

Important
•  Before using a Paper and Ink set, ensure that you acclimatize the Paper and Ink set to 
the ambient temperature prior to opening. In particular, if the Paper and Ink set has been 
stored at a low temperature, condensation may occur due to the difference in temperatures 
(
 p. 96, “Condensation”).
•  Avoid storing paper and ink cassettes in places subject to high temperature, high humidity or 
direct sunlight. This may lead to deterioration of print quality or prevent printing capability.

Note
•  When cutting paper after printing, fold the 
paper along the perforated line. Then reverse 
the fold in the opposite direction and cut the 
paper along the folded line.
•  If you are printing on the reverse side of a 
sheet with a different printer, the ink may take 
some time to dry.
Handling of paper and ink cassettes
 During printing
•  Do not open the ink cassette compartment cover, as print quality may be reduced.
•  Do not remove the paper cassette or ink cassette.
•  Do not pull the paper while it is moving.
•  Be sure to remove printed paper before 10 or more sheets have piled up. Failure to do so 
may result in a paper jam. Be particularly sure to remove paper with a high degree of curl 
before it piles up.
•  Do not touch the print surface with your fingers.
 After printing
•  Do not remove unused sheets of paper from the paper cassette. Close the cassette lid, then 
insert the paper cassette into a plastic bag and store so that it lies flat.
•  After removing the paper cassette, close the paper cassette compartment cover to prevent 
dust from getting inside the printer.
•  Remove the ink cassette and store it in a plastic bag or other safe container.
  Handling printed paper
•  Pay special attention to the following, otherwise discoloration, fading and color transfer may 
occur. 
•  Do not allow objects such as vinyl desk mats, name card cases, or plastic erasers to come 
in contact with the printed surfaces. When storing printed paper in an album, select holder 
sleeves made of nylon, polypropylene or cellophane.
•  Do not allow any volatile solvents such as alcohol to come in contact with the printed 
surface.
•  Do not touch the printed surface.
•  Do not leave printed surfaces in contact with one another, or place any other papers on 
printed surfaces for a certain period of time.
•  Do not store printed paper in locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or direct 
sunlight.
•  When writing on a printed surface, use permanent markers (oil-based) only. You may use 
permanent markers (oil-based), water-based markers, pencils and oil-based ball point pens 
to write on the back of printed papers.
•  You can use printed images for your personal enjoyment. Copyright laws prevent their use in 
any other way without the written permission of the copyright holders. 
•  Do not reuse paper that has already been printed on.
