Troubleshooting
Symptom
The printer
driver cannot be
installed.
The printer does
not respond to
the printing
order from the
PC.
An image is
printed with
borders even if I
select
“Borderless”.
Check
•Is there an anti-virus
program or other
program running on
the system?
•Did you log onto
Windows Vista/XP/
2000 Professional using
an Administrator user
account?
•Is an error message
displayed stating that
an error was detected
in output of documents
via USB?
•Are you using an
application software
other than Picture
Motion Browser?
Cause/Solutions
cIf there is an anti-virus program or other
program running on the system, exit it
and then start installing the driver.
cTo install the driver in Windows Vista/
XP/2000 Professional, log onto Windows
using an Administrator user account.
c If there is no trouble displayed on the
Windows desktop, check the printer’s
LCD screen.
If the printer shows trouble, do the
following:
1. Turn off the 1 (on/standby) switch
then turn it on again.
2. Disconnect the power cable, wait for 5
to 10 seconds, and then connect the
cable again.
3. Restart your computer.
If these do not solve the problem, consult
with your Sony dealer or service
facilities.
c Remove the USB cable and then connect
it again.
c When using an application other than the
Picture Motion Browser, an image might
be printed with borders even if you select
borderless print.
When you can set border/borderless
with an application, set an image to be
printed fully in the print range even if it
is printed over the range.

Symptom
Print quantity
specified in the
“Pages Per
Sheet” in the
“Layout” tab of
the “Sony DPP-
FP70/FP90
Properties”
dialog box does
not match the
actual print
quantity and
printed results.
Colors of the
printed image
from a PC are
different from
those printed
from a memory
card.
Check Cause/Solutions
cDepending on the application you use,
the print quantity setting of the
application you use may have priority
over the setting specified in the printer
driver dialog box.
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.

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.
