Unplug the printer if it will not be used for an extended period of time, such as while you are away on a long trip.

Otherwise, deteriorated insulation or current leakage may cause fire or electric shock.

Care and storage

Protect against moisture condensation

Moisture condensation is water vapor in the air that becomes liquid, and collects on the printer surface.

This phenomenon occurs under the following conditions.

• The room in which the printer is placed is rapidly heated or cooled.
• The printer is directly subjected to cool air, such as from an air conditioner.
• The printer is moved from a cold place to a warm place.

Moisture in the air condenses on the paper, deteriorating print quality or causing paper jams.

Under conditions where condensation has occurred or may occur, do not operate the printer until it is dry or until there is no possibility that condensation will occur.

Do not spray on or allow volatile solvents to come in contact with the printer

Spraying an insecticide near the printer, or wiping it with thinner or benzene for example, may damage or discolor the printer cabinet.

Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the printer cabinet. For difficult to remove stains, dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild detergent diluted with water, and wring out the cloth to remove as much of the moisture as possible before wiping the outside of the cabinet.

Do not allow the printer to be in contact with rubber or plastic products for an extended period of time

Deterioration and discoloration may occur if the printer is in contact with rubber or plastic products for an extended period of time.

Operate the printer at least once every six months

If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, it may malfunction. Operate the printer at least once every six months.

Carry the printer with both hands

When lifting or carrying the printer, use both hands.

Transport the printer carefully

When transporting the printer, place it in the original box with the original packing material. If you don't have the original packaging, pack the printer with enough cushioning material to absorb any impacts during transportation.

If paper is jammed

If paper jams in the printer, the ACCESS indicator and PAPER indicator both blink, and printing stops.

Follow the steps below to clear a paper jam in the printer.

1 Turn the printer off.
2 After removing the paper tray, make sure that no print paper is bent or curled and that paper sheets are properly placed in the tray.

3 With the paper tray removed, turn the printer on again to automatically eject the paper from the printer.

• If paper is automatically ejected, continue with step 8.
• If paper is not automatically ejected, turn the printer off and continue with step 4.

4 Look in the paper tray door to see if the jammed paper is visible at the back.

• If the jammed paper is visible, go to Step 5.
• If the jammed paper is not visible, contact your nearest OLYMPUS service center for repairs.

5 Set the printer on its rear so that the front of the printer is facing up. Insert your finger in the paper dispenser slot located on the bottom and slide the jammed paper towards the paper tray door.

• If you cannot move the paper with your finger, use tweezers or the like.

6 After the paper has moved partway, you will then be able to remove it through the paper tray door.
7 Turn the printer on.
8 Reinsert the paper tray in the paper tray door.

• If operation is normal, the paper jam has been successfully cleared and you can continue printing.

Caution

• After removing the jammed paper, do not attempt to use it again in the printer. Doing so may damage your printer.

If the Ink ribbon cartridge is removed during printing

1 Turn the printer off.
2 Insert the ink ribbon cartridge all the way into the compartment, and close the cartridge door firmly.
3 Turn the printer on.

About the print pack (ink ribbon cartridge and paper)

Always use print packs specified by OLYMPUS.

• The print packs are either for 4 × 6 or 3.5" × 5" paper. The print pack for 4 × 6 printing contains 4 × 6 paper and an ink ribbon cartridge for 4 × 6 printing. The print pack for 3.5" × 5" printing likewise contains 3.5" × 5" paper and an ink ribbon cartridge for 3.5" × 5" printing.
• The print pack for 3.5" × 5" printing may not be available in all locations.
• Always use the ink ribbon cartridge and paper from a print pack together.

The used ink ribbon cartridge is not reusable.
Exercise care when handling the ink ribbon cartridge to ensure that it remains clean.
Do not disassemble the ink ribbon cartridge.
■ Fingerprints, dirt, scratches, oil or other debris on the print surface may degrade print quality.
To avoid printer malfunction, never print more than once on a single sheet of paper. In addition, do not use paper that has been fed through the printer.
Do not open the print pack until ready to use.

Storage Considerations

Do not store the print pack in the following locations.

• Do not store the print pack where hot (above 30^ ), cold (below 5^ ), highly humid, or dusty.
• Do not store the print pack with chemicals.
• Do not store the print pack where exposed to direct sunlight or bright light.

Caution

• Do not place for long periods an environment exceeding 40^ . The same precautions are also necessary when installed in the printer. (Such as during transport, or by a window in direct sunlight.)

Storing prints

Do not store the prints with the printed surfaces facing each other.
- Do not allow the print surface to be in contact with cellophane tape, a desk pad or an eraser containing plastic for an extended period of time. Prolonged contact may cause the print surface to become discolored.
■ Do not allow organic solvents to come in contact with the print surface. Such contact may cause discoloration.
Avoid prolonged exposure of the print surface to sunlight or bright light. Prolonged exposure may cause the print surface to become discolored.
Use an oil-based pen when writing on the print surface.

Definition of terms

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

Recording format for automatic printing of digital camera data. Prints can easily be created from a media card at DPOF compatible photo shops or on printers by specifying the desired images, and number of copies.

PictBridge

A common standard used to connect a digital camera directly to a printer to print images. If the devices are PictBridge compatible, prints can be made using simple digital camera controls regardless of the device manufacturers. Various print options are available, such as automatic printing of DPOF specified images, index print, and image trimming.

RGB

The three colors comprising light: red (R), green (G) and blue (B). Colors are displayed on televisions and PC monitors using these three colors.

YMC

The three primary colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). Colors are printed using these three colors. The range of colors that can be displayed using YMC differs from the range of colors available using RGB. Therefore, some colors for images that are displayed on a monitor can not be reproduced exactly using a printer and are replaced with similar colors.
