CAUTIONS EN 3

Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you drop the unit, do not attempt to use it. If during use you notice that the cabinet is

damaged, shut the printer down, unplug it and contact your JVC dealer. Use of the

printer under these conditions can lead to fire or electric shock.

ABOUT THERMAL HEADS

???The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located within the unit. The heads can become extremely warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not touch the thermal heads.

???When the printer is used for extended periods, the thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer???s power cord, or leave the cord near any heat- generating appliance, as this can damage the cord. Avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the power cord. If the power cord

becomes cut or otherwise damaged, contact your JVC

dealer. When unplugging the printer, DO NOT pull on the cord. Hold the plug itself and remove it from the AC outlet. Use of the printer with a damaged power cord can lead to fire, electric shock and unit malfunctions.

DO NOT remove the cover and attempt to repair or modify the printer. There are high-voltage components within the unit,

and the risk of electric shock and unit malfunctions exists. If a problem occurs, contact your JVC dealer.

Illustrations of this video printer maydiffer slightly from production models.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If condensation occurs inside the printer, it may adhere to print paper during printing, causing poor quality prints and paper jams. If you think condensation may exist within the unit, let the unit sit for at least 2 hours (with the power on) to dry sufficiently. If paper is stuck within the unit, remove it before turning the power on. Unused print paper subjected to moisture should not be used for printing.

???Condensation may occur in the following situations:

1)In a room when the heater suddenly comes on;

2)In the direct path of cool air from an air conditioner;

3)When the unit is moved from a cool place to a warm place.

DUST

Due to dust or lint adhering to print paper, or to extreme variations in temperature, a small degree of colour smearing or lines may be visible in prints.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the printer.

1.DO NOT place the printer . . .

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2.DO NOT block the printer???s ventilation openings.

3.DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer.

4.DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the printer.

5.AVOID violent shocks to the printer during transport.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void user???s authority to operate the equipment.

About Blank Paper Sheet Sets (optional)

You must use one of the sets shown in the following chart:

* This unit does not incorporate a function for splitting the screen into 16 pictures.

Printing on 16-picture multi-print sticker paper is impossible unless the digital still camera or the application software has a 16-picture splitting function.

When multiple pictures are printed on a sheet, the print positions may vary from the intended positions.

Before Printing

cDo not touch printing side of the paper.

cDo not use paper that is torn or curled, as this can result in paper jamming.

cDo not use paper that is wet or damp. Printing may not be possible and paper jamming may occur.

cDo not touch or pull out the ink cassette???s ink sheet.

cKeep young children away from the ink cassette???s ink sheet.

cWhen the ink cassette is empty, replace it with a new one. An empty ink cassette cannot be used. Do not try to rewind and re-use cassette.

cDo not expose the paper to high tempera- tures, high humidity and/or direct sunlight.

cYou can write on one side of a PV-50SFAE print sheet.

cIf you want to write something or stick a stamp on a PV-50SFAE sheet, wait until printing is finished. If you write something or stick something on before printing, the printer may not work properly.

cCarefully read the precautions in the blank paper sheet set box and on the back of the blank sheet set before using.

After Printing

cIf you touch a fresh print with wet hands, the print image may be discolored.

cIf a print absorbs organic cleaning solvents (alcohol, ester, keton, etc.), the colours will fade.

cIf cellophane tape or soft PVC are affixed to a print, the chemical reaction will cause accelerated colour fading.

cWhen writing on a PV-50SFAE print sheet, be sure to use a pencil or an oil-based writing utensil. If you apply too much pressure, you???ll leave imprints on the print sheet.

Storage

cAvoid storing prints in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity, or near a heater or heat-generating device.

cDo not store prints in a soft plastic folder. Accelerated colour fading may result due to the chemical reaction, or the print(s) may stick to the file.

cDo not store 2 prints with the printed sides touching, as the sheets may stick together.

cStore print paper in its box, on a level surface. Failure to do so may cause the print paper to curl or bend, which can result in a paper jam within the unit.
