Notes on using printing packs
•Always use the print cartridge and print
paper from the same carton as a set.  If you
mix cartridges and paper of different types,
printing may not be possible.
•The side without the imprinting is the
printing surface.  Inferior print quality may
result if the printing surface is contaminated
with dust or fingerprints.  Be careful to avoid
touching the printing surface.
•Do not bend the paper or tear it off at the
perforations before printing.
•Do not print on used sheets of print paper
or attempt to rewind the ribbon inside the
print cartridge.  Doing so could result in
damages to the printer.
•Please do not disassemble the print cartridge.
•Do not pull out the ribbon from the print
cartridge.
Notes on storing printing packs (for
quality prints)
•When you are going to store a partially-used
pack of the print cartridge and print paper for
an extended period of time, store it in its
original bag or in a similar container.
•Avoid placing the printing pack in locations
that are subject to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.
•Use printing pack within two years from the
date of production.
Note on storing printouts
•Do not affix cellophane tape or plastic erasers
to printouts.  Also avoid leaving printouts
under plastic desk mats.
Caution
•TV program, films, video tapes and other
materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized
video printing of such materials may be
country to the provisions of the copyright
law.
