Precautions
On safety
•Be careful not to set or drop any heavy
objects on the power cord, or to damage
the power cord in any way. Never
operate this printer with a damaged
power cord.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the printer and have
it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Never disassemble the printer.
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out
by the plug. Never pull the power cord
itself.
• When the printer is not going to be used
for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet.
• Do not handle the printer roughly.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
always unplug the printer from the
electrical outlet before cleaning and
servicing the printer.
On installation
•Avoid placing the printer in a location
subject to:
– vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Do not use electrical equipment near the
printer. The printer will not work
properly in electromagnetic fields.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
printer.
• Leave enough room around the printer
so that the ventilation holes are not
blocked. Blocking these holes may cause
internal heat build-up.
On the AC adaptor
•Be sure to use the AC adaptor supplied
with the printer.  Do not use other AC
adaptors, as this may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not use the supplied AC adaptor to
other devices.
• Do not use an electrical transformer
(travel converter), as this may cause
overheat or a malfunction.
• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is
damaged, never use it any longer, as this
may cause danger.
On moisture condensation
If the printer is brought directly from a
cold location to a warm location or placed
in an extremely warm or humid room,
moisture may condense inside the unit. In
such cases the printer will probably not
work properly and may even develop a
fault if you persist in using it. If moisture
condensation occurs, unplug the AC
power cord of the printer and do not use
the printer for at least one hour.
On transport
When you transport the printer, remove
the ink ribbon, paper tray, AC adaptor, the
memory card, or an external device  from
the printer and put the printer and its
peripherals in the original box with the
protective packaging.
If you no longer have the original box and
packing parts, use similar packing material
so that the printer will not be damaged
while being transported.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with
a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as
alcohol or benzine, which may damage the
finish.

On restrictions on duplication
If duplicating documents with the printer,
pay special attention to the following:
•Duplication of banknotes, coins, or
securities is against the law.
• Duplication of blank certificates,
licenses, passports, private securities, or
unused postal stamps is also against the
law.
• TV program, films, video tapes, others’
portraits or other materials may be
copyrighted.  Unauthorized video
printing of such materials may infringe
the provisions of the copyright law.
On color print packs
Notes on use
On Ink ribbon
•Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the
ink ribbon in a dusty location.
Fingerprints or dust on the ink ribbon
may result in imperfect printing.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use
the rewound ink ribbon for printing.
Otherwise, proper printing result will
not be obtained, or even a malfunction
may occur.
If the ink ribbon does not click into
place, remove it and then re-insert it.
Only when the ink ribbon is too slack to
be loaded, wind the spool of the ink
ribbon in the direction of the arrow to
remove the slack.
•Never disassemble the ink ribbon.
• Do not pull out the ribbon from the ink
ribbon.
• Do not remove the ink ribbon while
printing.
On print paper
• 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.
• To avoid paper jam or malfunctions of
the printer, make sure the following
before printing:
–Do not write or type on the print
paper.  Use the oil ink pen to write on
the paper after printing.  You cannot
type on the print paper using an ink-
jet printer, etc.
– Do not attach sticker or stamps on the
print paper.
– Do not fold or bend the print paper.
– Total number of print paper does not
exceed 20 sheets.
– Do not print on the used print paper.
Printing an image twice on the same
paper will not make the printed image
thicker.
– Use the print paper for this printer
only.
– Do not use the print paper ejected
without printed.
• Do not print on used sheets of print
paper or attempt to rewind the ribbon
inside the ink ribbon.  Doing so could
result in damages to the printer.
• Do not remove the paper tray while
printing.

About the “Memory Stick”
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a compact-size IC
recording medium with a large capacity. It
has been designed not only for exchanging/
sharing digital data among “Memory Stick”
complaint products, but also for serving as
an insertable/removable external storage
medium that can save data.
Types of “Memory Stick” that
the printer can use
With the printer, you can use the following
types of “Memory Stick”*3:
Notes on storing print packs
•When you are going to store a partially-
used pack of the ink ribbon and print
paper for an extended period of time,
store it in its original bag or in a similar
container.
• When you are going to store print paper
in the paper tray, make sure to close the
tray cover and slide cover.
• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in locations
subject to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight. Please store it in a dark and
cold location and use it early. Depending
on the storage status, color elements of
the ink ribbon may deteriorate. Sony
shall assume no responsibilities for any
damage, loss or failed printed results
that may be caused by use of such ink
ribbon.
• Avoid leaving the printing surface of the
print paper in contact with a plastic
eraser or plastic desk mats that includes
vinyl chloride or plasticizer for an
extended period of time;  color changes
or deterioration of the printed image
may occur.
*1 The printer is not equipped with the
“MagicGate” technology and cannot read or
write the data subject to the “MagicGate”
copyright protection. “MagicGate” is the
general name of a copyright protection
technology developed by Sony. This
technology provides authentication and
encryption; mutual confirmation is performed
between the “Memory Stick” media and the

played, the  authentication is also performed.
Only when authentication is established, the
data is decrypted to the original status and
played. Copyright-protected data cannot be
played with a device other than authenticated
ones.
*2 The printer is equipped with a slot compatible with both standard-size and Duo-size media.
Without a Memory Stick Duo adaptor, you
can use both standard-size “Memory Stick”
and compact-size “Memory Stick Duo”.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)This camera conforms with the DCF
(Design rule for Camera File system)
standard established by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association) to maintain file
exchangeability and compatibility
between digital cameras and related
products. Complete exchangeability and
compatibility, however, are not
guaranteed.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) The format used to record the
information necessary for automatically
printing images shot by a digital camera
at a printing shop or with a home-use
printer. The printer supports DPOF
printing and can automatically print the
preset number of copies of the DPOF
preset images.
Exif 2.21 (Exif Print) Exif (Exchangeable image file format for
digital cameras) Print is a global
standard for digital photo printing.  A
digital camera supporting Exif Print
stores the data relevant to the conditions
of shooting as each shot is taken.  The
printer utilises the Exif Print data stored
in each image file to ensure the printed
result matches the original shot as
closely as possible

 *1 When the “Auto Fine Print 3” is enabled and an image (JPEG file) is shot by an Exif
Print (Exif 2.21)-compliant digital camera,
the image is automatically adjusted to its
optimum picture quality and printed.
Mass Storage System
Various types devices for storing large
amounts of data, including all types of
disk drives (floppy disks, hard disks,

memory, mass storage devices retain
data even when the PC or unit is turned
off.
