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.

Precautions

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, turn off the power and do not use the printer for at least one hour.

On transport

When you transport the printer, remove the print cartridge, paper tray, the "Memory Stick" 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.

On restrictions on duplication

If duplicating documents with the printer, pay special attention to the following:

• Duplication of banknotes, coins, or securities is against the law.
• Duplication of blank certificates, licenses, passports, private securities, or unused postal stamps is also against the law.
• TV program, films, video tapes, others' portraits or other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized video printing of such materials may infringe the provisions of the copyright law.

About the "Memory Stick"

What is "Memory Stick"?

"Memory Stick" is small, light-weighted, and next-generation IC storage media with a larger capacity than a floppy disc. You can use the "Memory Stick" to exchange data among "Memory Stick" compatible devices. In addition, you can use the "Memory Stick" as a removable external storage device to save your data.

Types of "Memory Stick"

Following types of "Memory Stick" are available for versatile purposes.

- "Memory Stick": "Memory Stick" can store all types of data except for the one that requires the "MagicGate" copyright protection technology.

- "Memory Stick (with memory select function)": "Memory Stick (with memory select function)" incorporates multiple 128MB memory units, which can be selected by a user via a mechanical switch on the reverse side of the media. Each memory unit can be used to categorize various types of data. You cannot select multiple memory units together or continuously.

- "MagicGate Memory Stick": "MagicGate Memory Stick" employs the "MagicGate" copyright protection technology.

• "Memory Stick PRO": "Memory Stick PRO" employs the "MagicGate" copyright protection technology and can be used only with "Memory Stick PRO" compliant devices.
• "Memory Stick-ROM": "Memory Stick-ROM" is the read-only "Memory Stick" storing the data. You cannot save or delete its data.

On "Memory Stick Duo"

"Memory Stick Duo" is smaller than the standard-sized "Memory Stick". When inserted into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor, the "Memory Stick Duo" is the same size as the standard-sized "Memory Stick", and can be used with "Memory Stick" compliant devices.

- When using the “Memory Stick Duo” on the printer, make sure to insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor and then insert the adaptor containing the “Memory Stick Duo” into the printer.

- Before using the “Memory Stick Duo”, check the correct direction to insert the “Memory Stick Duo”. If you attempt to insert it in a wrong direction, the “Memory Stick Duo” and the printer may be damaged.

- Never insert the Memory Stick Duo adaptor that contains no "Memory Stick Duo" into a "Memory Stick"-compatible device. If you do, the device may be damaged.

About the "Memory Stick"

Types of "Memory Stick" that the printer can use

With the printer, you can do the following operations for each type of "Memory Stick":

	Read	Write/Delete/Format
"Memory Stick"/"Memory Stick (with memory select function)"/"Memory Stick Duo"*2	OK	OK
"MagicGate Memory Stick"/"MagicGate Memory Stick Duo"*2	OK*1	OK*1
"Memory Stick PRO"	OK*1	OK*1
"Memory Stick-ROM"	OK	NO

*1 The printer cannot read/write the data subject to "MagicGate" copyright protection.
*2 Use the adaptor designed for the "Memory Stick Duo" you use.

We cannot guarantee the operations of all the “Memory Stick” media.

On data read/write speed

The data read/write speed differs depending on the combination of the "Memory Stick" and the device you use.

What is "MagicGate"?

"MagicGate" is the copyright protection technology that works when both the "Memory Stick" and the device employ the technology. The "MagicGate"-compatible device and the "MagicGate Memory Stick" attest that each other supports the "MagicGate" technology and encode the data they exchange.

The printer does not support the "MagicGate" standards and cannot read or write the data subject to the "MagicGate" copyright protection.

Notes on use

• When you slide the write protect switch to the write protect position, you cannot record, edit, or delete the data.
• When you slide the write protect switch of the "Memory Stick Duo", use a thin-pointed device.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any problems using the printer, use the following guidelines to solve the problem. If the problem persists, consult your Sony dealer. When you are printing from your computer, also refer to the computer manual.

Cannot operate the printer after the power switch is turned on.

→ Connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet securely.

The television displays no images.

→ Press INPUT SELECT to turn on the "MEMORY STICK" input indicator.
→ When printing from the “Memory Stick,” insert it securely into the printer. Check that images recorded by a digital still camera or other device are recorded.

Cannot print.

→ Insert the correct set of print cartridge and print paper.
→ Check that the paper tray has paper.
→ The thermal head may be overheated. Leave the printer until the head cools down and the printer resumes printing.
→ Remove the jammed paper, if any.

An image in thumbnail list is not properly displayed or printed.

→ If the image is displayed but can not be printed, the file used for printing is damaged.
→ If the mark shown on the right is displayed in the thumbnail list, the image is a JPEG file created with your computer, or the thumbnail data of the image is damaged.

Select the mark and press PICTURE. If a preview image is displayed, you can print the image. If the same mark is displayed again as a preview, the image is stored in an incompatible file format that the DPP-EX5 does not support or the image itself is damaged.

→ An image which is damaged or has some kind of problem will not appear in the image list. A file error message appears. If there are no images stored in the “Memory Stick”, the no file message appears.
→ If an image is not compatible with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system), it may not be printed with the printer even if it is displayed on the PC monitor.

→ The printer can handle and display up to 9999 image files. If there are more than 9999 images stored in a "Memory Stick," use the computer to display and handle the remaining images.
→ Depending on the type of digital still camera used, the aspect ratio of the recorded image differs, so the image may not be printed covering the entire printable area.
→ Depending on the type of digital still camera used, preview images may be displayed along with the primary images in the thumbnail list. The printed quality of the preview images will not be as good as the primary images. Note that if you delete the preview images, the data for the primary images may be damaged.
→ Depending on the type of digital still camera used, the image may be stretched vertically if it has been rotated or processed using your digital still camera. This is not because of trouble with the printer, but because the image was rewritten with your digital still camera.
→ When you name or rename an image file on your computer and its file name includes characters other than alphanumeric characters, the file name may not be displayed correctly or the image may not be displayed (read error) on the printer.

The beeps sound.

→ Check that you are following the correct procedures.

Cannot remove the print cartridge.

→ Turn the printer off then on. After the motor sound stops, try to remove the cartridge.

If this does not solve the problem, contact Sony service facilities or your Sony dealer.

The ☐ / 🔍 indicator is lit or an error message is displayed.

→ Follow the instructions on the screen.

There is a white line or dots in the printed pictures.

→ The print head or paper path may be soiled. Use the supplied cleaning kit to clean the head and path (page 80).

Troubleshooting

Glossary

Auto Fine Print 2

The function automatically corrects the picture quality so that an image may be printed in more vivid, clear and beautiful pictures. It is especially effective for a darker image with low contrast. The pictures are corrected to reproduce natural skin colors, vivid tree leaf green, or clear sky blue.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

The standard specified by JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry Development Association) to maintain the file exchangeability and compatibilities between digital still cameras and related products.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

The format used to record the information necessary for automatically printing images shot by a digital still camera at a printing shop or with a home-use printer. The printer supports DPOF printing and can automatically print the preset number of copies of the DPOF preset images.

Exif 2.2 (Exif Print)

Exif (Exchangeable image file format for digital still cameras) Print is a global standard for digital photo printing. A digital still camera supporting Exif Print stores the data relevant to the conditions of shooting as each shot is taken. The printer utilises the Exif Print data stored in each image file to ensure the printed result matches the original shot as closely as possible ^*1 .

*1 When the “Auto Fine Print 2” is enabled and an image (JPEG file) is shot by an Exif Print (Exif 2.2)-compatible digital still camera, the image is automatically adjusted to its optimum picture quality and printed.

"Memory Stick"

A next-generation, compact, light, removable storage media used with a digital still camera, video camera, or PC. In its compact body, it can record a larger volume of data than a floppy disc can. You can use it to exchange data among “Memory Stick” ready devices and also use it as removable and external storage medium.

Thumbnails

Miniature images for representing the original images that are stored in the image files taken by a digital still camera. The printer uses thumbnails in the image list.
