Notes on LCD screen
 The displayed image on the screen is not identical in 
picture quality and colors with the printed image 
because display methods or profiles differ. Please 
regard the displayed image as just a reference.
 Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen 
may be discolored and that may cause a 
malfunction.
 Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a 
long period may cause malfunctions.
 The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely 
high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the 
pixels are operational for effective use. However, 
there may be some tiny black points and/or bright 
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that 
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points 
are normal in the manufacturing process and do not 
affect the printing in any way.
 Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold 
location. This is not a malfunction.
Duplication, edition, or printing of a CD, TV 
program, copyrighted materials such as pictures or 
publications, or any other materials except for your 
own recording or creation is limited to private or 
domestic use only. Unless you hold copyright or 
have permission from copyright holders for the 
materials to be duplicated, use of those materials 
beyond this limit may infringe the provisions of the 
copyright law and be subject to the copyright 
holder’s claim for damages.
When using photo images with this printer, pay 
special attention not to infringe the provisions of 
the copyright law. Any unauthorized use or 
modification of portraits may also infringe their 
rights.
For some demonstrations, performances, or 
exhibits, photography may be forbidden.
Backup recommendations
To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by 
accidental operation or malfunction of the printer, 
we recommend that you save a backup copy of 
your data.

FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY 
NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES 
RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE 
PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT.

accidental or consequential damages or loss of the 
recorded content which may be caused by use or

Notes
 Do not touch the ink ribbon or store 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 
results will not be obtained, or 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, keep pressing the 
core of the ribbon and wind the ink ribbon in the 
direction of the arrow to remove the slack.
     
 Do not disassemble the ink ribbon.
 Do not pull out the ribbon from the ink ribbon.
 Do not remove the ink ribbon while printing.
 Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject 
to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive 
dust or direct sunlight. Please store it in a cool and 
dark place and use it within a short period from the 
date of production. Depending on the storage 
conditions, the ink ribbon may deteriorate. Use of 
such an ink ribbon may affect the printed results, 
for which we cannot guarantee or compensate.Inserting the print paper
1Open the paper tray cover.
Hold the parts on both sides of the paper 
tray cover (shown with arrows) and open 
the paper tray cover.
2Set the print paper into the paper 
tray.
Do not wind the 
ribbon in the 
directions shown 
here.
