Storing unused paper  
Loading Paper  
• Store unused paper at a temperature below 30°C  
(86°F) in a dry location that is not exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
Caution  
• Do not store unused paper near volatile liquids or  
allow the paper to contact any organic volatile liquid,  
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.  
A paper cutter is mounted with the unit. When loading  
paper, be careful not to touch the paper cutter. Touching  
the paper cutter may cause injury.  
Loading paper  
1
Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn the unit on.  
When paper is not loaded yet, the back light on the  
LCD lights in umber and the message “EMPTY” is  
displayed.  
• Handle the paper carefully when loading to avoid  
touching the printing surface with your fingers.  
Perspiration or oil from you hands could cause  
pictures to blur.  
• After removing the label from the leading edge of the  
paper, pull the paper out 15~20 cm (about 6~8 in.)  
before printing. Label adhesive remaining on the  
paper could spoil a picture.  
Storing printouts  
• To prevent printouts from fading or changing color,  
store them in a cool, dry location where the  
temperature is not higher than 30°C (86°F).  
• Store printouts in a polypropylene pouch or between  
sheets of paper that contain no plastic.  
• Do not store printouts where they will be exposed to  
direct sunlight or high humidity.  
• Do not store printouts near volatile liquids or allow the  
prints to contact any organic volatile liquid,  
cellophane tape, or any compound of vinyl chloride.  
• To prevent fading, do not stack printouts on or under a  
diazo copy sheet.  
• To mount printouts on another sheet of paper, use  
double-sides tape or a water base adhesive.  
• Do not incinerate waste printer paper.

temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold  
room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with  
a heater that tends to produce large amounts of  
moisture, condensation may form inside the unit. In  
such cases the unit will probably not work properly,  
and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it.  
If moisture or condensation forms, turn off the power  
and allow the unit to stand for at least one hour.
