●Handling Precautions

When moisture has condensed in the printer

The formation of water droplets inside the printer is referred to as condensation. Condensation occurs in the following situations.

• When the room in which the printer is located is heated rapidly
• When cold air (from an air-conditioner, etc.) blows directly onto the printer
• When the printer is moved from a location of low humidity to a location of high humidity

When moisture has condensed in the printer, moisture will adhere to the paper, deteriorating print quality or causing paper jams. When moisture has condensed or is likely to condense, leave the printer on and wait until there is no possibility for condensation to occur.

Do not use solvents such as paint thinner or benzene when cleaning

Spraying the printer with insecticide or wiping with paint thinner or benzene may deteriorate or discolor the printer cabinet. When the printer cabinet has become dirty, wipe with a soft cloth. When soiling is particularly heavy, dampen a soft cloth with water or neutral detergent diluted with water, and wipe off the dirt after wringing the cloth out firmly.

Do not allow the printer cabinet to be in contact with rubber or vinyl products for an extended period of time. This can cause discoloration or peeling of the coating

Extended contact with rubber, vinyl or plastic products can cause discoloring or peeling of the coating.

Operate the printer at least once every six months

Not operating the printer for a long period of time can impair printer function. Operate the printer at least once every six months.

Transporting when Moving, etc.

When transporting the printer, place the printer in the packaging materials and container in which it was packaged. When these are no longer available, package the printer with sufficient cushioning materials so that it is able to withstand shocks and impacts during transport. Remove the paper cassette and ink cassette from the printer before transporting.

Precautions Regarding the Printer Driver

1) In the case of printing in A4 size, a minimum of 50 MB of available memory is required in the hard disk (excluding regions using the OS and applications) in order to prepare printing data.

2) When installing the printer driver, be sure to follow the installation procedure described in this manual to ensure proper installation.

3) If you remove the USB cable after the printer driver was installed, wait more than 5 seconds before connecting it again. Otherwise, the printer may not operate properly. When you turn off and on the printer or change the input selection, wait similarly.

4) Depending on the specifications or setting of the OS or PC, if processing has been interrupted while printing is in progress, the PRINTING lamp on the printer may continue flashing. At this time, temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on again.

5) If the printer is turned off or the power cable is removed while printing is in progress, print data may remain in the print spooler. At this time, delete the remaining print data and then execute the next print job.

6) While "Please Wait" is displayed on the LCD panel of the printer, printing is not being performed. When the message disappears, printing will resumed automatically.

7) While data is transferred or printing is performed, be sure not to remove the USB cable, not to change the printer input selection, or not to turn off the printer power until printing is completed. Otherwise, abnormal printing may be caused.
8) If processing has been interrupted while printing is in progress (while the PRINTING lamp on the printer flashes or lights), temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on again.
9) Do not delete print jobs in the spooler while transferring data. If you delete them inadvertently, temporarily turn off the printer power and then turn it back on.
10) Pure white portions of the image (R = 255, G = 255, B = 255), are not adjusted. These portions of the image will always print white.
11) If you select “ICM” for color adjustment on Windows 98/Me, the matching method is limited to “Photo”.
12) Set the bi-directional communication function to ON in the printer properties dialog.
Use the following procedure to check that the bi-directional communication function is set to ON.
(1) Select "Start" - "Settings" and then "Printers".
(2) Click on “OLYMPUS P-440” to select this printer, right-click to open a pop-up menu, and then click on “Properties”.
(3) Click on “Spool Settings” in the “Details” tab.
(4) Check that “Enable bi-directional support for this printer” is checked.
13) Depending on the version of Photoshop, item “Printer color control” is displayed in the print dialog. When printing with this setting ON after storing multiple pieces of image data in the printer spooler, normal colors may not be printed. When printing with “Printer color control” ON, do not store multiple pieces of image data in the spooler.
14) In some applications, the number of copies that have been set in the printer driver may not function. Set the number of copies in the print dialog box of the application.

Caution

• The time required for printing varies according to the picture size and compression ratio of the digital camera used to take the pictures.
• Do not turn off the power during printing.
• Do not open the printer cover while printing is in progress.
• Do not take out the xD-Picture Card or PC Card while printing is in progress. The xD-Picture Card or PC Card may be damaged and no longer be able to be used.
• Do not take out the paper cassette while printing is in progress. Also, do not touch the paper.
• The PRINT button is enabled during preview in each mode (STANDARD, CARD, PHOTO-ALBUM, PASSPORT and INDEX).
• The paper will start to come out of the printer during printing, but do not pull out the paper. Wait until the paper has been automatically discharged onto the paper output tray.

Tips

- The "PRINTING" lamp lights when printing is in progress.

- Continuously press the MENU/PRINT Cancel button to cancel printing. When print cancellation is accepted, the xD-Picture Card, PC Card and PRINTING access indicators flash. At this time, the message "Printing will Stop After this Paper" is displayed on the LCD panel, and printing stops after the current sheet of paper is printed out normally.

- If the printer runs out of paper or ink ribbon after the PRINT button has been pressed, a message is displayed and printing is stopped. Install paper or ink ribbon and then press the PRINT button to resume printing.

- Since printing is performed by using one color each of Y (yellow), M (magenta) and C (cyan) and an overcoating, the printer head passes back and forth over the paper four times to print one color print.

Caution

- When tearing off postcard paper (P-A4P) or L size paper (P-A4L), first bend along the vertical scored lines and then tear off both ends. Next, bend along the remaining scored lines and tear off. The paper cannot be torn off cleanly unless folds are firmly made in the paper.

①Carefully bend along the vertical scored lines on the top and bottom.

②Tear the paper vertically.

●Introduction to Color Printing

Difference Between RGB and CMY

Have you ever tried comparing actual printed images and images displayed on a personal computer? Have you ever noticed the differences in their colors? Could this be a malfunction in the printer? The answer is probably no. This is due to different types of color generation systems used between printers and PCs.

Television and Computer displays express various colors by combining three colors referred to as the three primary colors of light, namely red (R), green (G) and blue (B). Any color can be created with these three colors. In addition, mixing equal amounts of these three colors results in the color white (W).

This method is referred to as the additive color process because it represents any color by adding the primary colors together in different proportions.

The three basic colors used by printers are magenta, cyan and yellow. Any color can be printed using these three colors. Mixing equal amounts of these three colors results in the color black. This method is referred to as the subtractive color process because various colors are expressed by absorbing a portion of the color white while reflecting the remaining colors.

Tip

- For example, if magenta (M) seems to be a little too strong during printing, this can be compensated for by slightly increasing the green (G) with an adjustment of the printer.

•DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

DPOF refers to a format used by DPOF enabled digital cameras to record printing information on a memory card, such as the images to be printed or the number of prints. DPOF enables those images to be printed, or the number of prints to be designated with a digital camera that supports DPOF function, thereby eliminating the need to make the settings on the printer. Therefore, using a DPOF-compatible printer makes printing easy. The P-440 is compatible with DPOF selection of images, quantity, rotation and trimming. When an xD-Picture Card or PC card is inserted into the printer, DPOF information is read from the media and image selection is performed automatically. If you do not use DPOF selection, select “CANCEL” for the “ALL SELECT” function in “Printing All Pictures on a Card” (page 94).

- Cleaning the Printer

Although varying according to how much the printer is used, clean the printer when it appears that printing quality has decreased significantly.

In addition, since the inside of the printer may be hot immediately after use, wait for a while after turning off the power before cleaning.

1 Turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord.

Caution

• Never touch the thermal head. Contact with the thermal head can cause burns.
• The thermal head sensor is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Never touch the thermal head sensor since this has the risk of causing a malfunction.

3 Gently wipe the head with a cotton swab moistened with a small amount of alcohol.

Caution

• Be careful not to damage the thermal head.
• Handle alcohol with care. (Alcohol is flammable. Turn off the printer and make sure the printer and thermal head have completely cooled before cleaning with Alcohol.)
• Never touch the thermal head directly with your fingers.
