Preparations
3Close the paper tray cover.
4Open the slide cover.
5Insert the paper tray into the printer.
Notes
 You can set up to 20 sheets of print paper. Riffle 
the print paper thoroughly. Insert the print paper 
with the protective sheet facing up. Remove the 
protective sheet from the tray. 
 If there is no protective sheet, insert the print paper 
into the paper tray with its printing surface (the 
side with no imprint) facing up. 
 Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or 
contamination on the printing surface may result in 
imperfect printing.
 Do not bend the print paper, or cut the print paper 
from the perforations before printing. To avoid paper jam or malfunctions of the printer, 
make sure of the following before printing:
– Do not write or type on the print paper.
– Do not attach a sticker or stamps on the print 
paper.
– When adding print paper to the paper tray, be 
sure that the total number of print paper sheets 
does not exceed 20 sheets.
– Do not insert different types of print paper 
together into the paper tray.
– Do not print on used print paper. Printing an 
image twice on the same paper will not make 
the printed image thicker.
– Use the print paper for this printer only.
– Do not use print paper ejected without printing.
Notes on storing the print paper
 To store print paper in the tray, remove the paper 
tray from the printer and close the slide door of the 
paper tray.
 Avoid storing the paper with the printed faces 
touching each other or in contact with rubber or 
plastic products, including vinyl chloride or 
plasticizer for an extended period of time; color 
changes or deterioration of the printed image may 
occur.
 Avoid placing the print paper in a location subject 
to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive 
dust or direct sunlight.
 When you are going to store partially-used print 
paper, store it in its original bag or a similar 
container.

2Connect one plug of the AC power 
cord to the connector of the AC 
adaptor and the other plug to the

printing. Keep 10 cm (13/32 inches) or more space 
at the rear of the printer.
 Connect the AC adaptor to an easily accessible 
wall outlet close by. If trouble occurs while using 
the adaptor, immediately shut off the power by 
disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.
 Do not short the plug of the AC adaptor with a 
metallic object, as this may cause a malfunction.
 Do not use the AC adaptor placed in a narrow 
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
 When you have finished using the AC adaptor, 
disconnect the AC power cord from the 
DC IN 24 V jack of the printer and from the AC 
power sources.
 The printer is not disconnected from the AC power 
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall 
outlet, even if the printer itself has been turned off.
 A socket outlet should be as close as possible to the 
unit and easily accessible.
To use your Printer abroad - 
Power sources
