If the printer shows trouble, do the 
following:

the printer.
2. Disconnect the power cable, wait for 5 
to 10 seconds, and then connect the 
cable again.
3. Restart your computer.

borders even if I 
select 
“Borderless.” Are you using an application 
software other than Picture 
Motion Browser?cWhen using an application other than the 
Picture Motion Browser, an image might

you use may have priority over the setting 
specified in the printer driver dialog box.
Colors of the

from a PC are 
different from 
those printed from 
a memory card.—cSince the process in printing an image 
from a memory card differs that in 
printing from a PC, the colors may not be 
exactly identical.

Cleaning 
If white lines or period-like dots are printed on 
the pictures, use the cleaning cartridge and 
cleaning sheet supplied to clean inside the 
printer.
Before you start cleaning the printer, please 
remove any memory cards, USB memories, or 
USB cables from the printer.
1Open the ink ribbon compartment 
door and if there is an ink ribbon 
inserted, remove it.
2Insert the supplied cleaning 
cartridge into the printer and close 
the ink ribbon compartment door.
3Remove the paper tray from the 
printer. If there is print paper in the 
tray, remove it.
4Place the cleaning sheet into the 
paper tray with the no-imprint side 
facing up.
5Set the paper tray into the printer 
and press PRINT.
The cleaning cartridge and cleaning sheet 
will clean inside the printer. After the 
cleaning is finished, the cleaning sheet is 
automatically ejected.

Keep the cleaning cartridge and cleaning sheet 
together for future cleaning. Be careful not to lose 
them.
Notes
 If you already enjoy proper printing performances, 
cleaning will not improve the printed picture 
quality.
 Do not place the cleaning sheet on top of print 
paper and carry out cleaning, as this may cause a 
paper jam or other troubles.
 If a cleaning does not improve printed picture 
quality, please carry out the cleaning process a 
couple of times.
 You cannot clean the printer while it is connected 
to a PC or a PictBridge camera.

Precautions
 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.
 Avoid placing the printer in a location 
subject to:
–vibration
– 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 for other 
devices.
 In case the cord of the AC adaptor is 
damaged, do not use it any longer, as this 
may be dangerous.
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.
