indicator lights or flashes rapidly and
printing stops.
When the ERROR indicator lights,

Then turn on the printer again.  When
the printer’s initial loading process ends,
remove the paper tray from the printer.
Check if there is jammed paper in the
paper outlet or feeding slot of the printer
and remove the jammed paper, if any.
Note
If you cannot remove the jammed paper,
contact your Sony dealer or service facilities.

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.
• Leave enough room behind the
printer. If there is not enough space,
printing will be failed or a problem
may occur.
On the AC power adaptor
•Be sure to use the AC power adaptor
supplied with the printer.  Do not use
other AC power adaptors, as this may
cause a malfunction.
• Do not use an electrical transformer
(travel converter), as this may cause
overheat or a malfunction.
• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is
disconnected or damaged, never use it
any longer, as this may cause danger.

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, unplug the AC power cord of the
printer and do not use the printer for at
least one hour.
On transport
When you transport the printer, remove
the print cartridge, paper tray, AC
power adaptor 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.

Glossary
Auto Fine Print  3
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 JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association) to
maintain the file exchangeability and
compatibilities between digital
cameras and related products.
Exif 2.21 (Exif Print)
Exif (Exchangeable image file format
for digital cameras) Print is a global
standard for digital photo printing.  A
digital 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 3” isenabled and an image (JPEG file) is
shot by an Exif Print (Exif 2.21)-
compliant digital camera, the image is
automatically adjusted to its optimum
picture quality and printed.
PictBridge
A standard specified by Camera &
Imaging Products Association that
allows you to connect PictBridge-
complaint digital camera directly to
the printer without a PC, enabling
direct printing on the spot.
