Initial Preparations
Prepare for printing as follows. This example shows a Postcard-size Color
Ink / Paper Set (sold separately, =
2) but the same steps are followed
for other sizes.
Avoid getting dust on ink sheets or paper, which may cause banding or
damage the printer (=
4).
Preparing the Ink Cassette
Check the ink cassette and ink
sheet.
zz Holding the ink cassette without touching
the ink sheet, check the size (such as
“Postcard Size” or “Card Size”) to make
sure it matches the size of paper you will
print on.
zz Make sure the ink sheet is taut. Loose
ink sheets may tear when loaded. If
the sheet is loose, turn the sprocket as
shown.
zz For an ink cassette that has a lock on
the bottom, press the lock (as shown)
to release it as you turn the sprocket to
make the sheet taut.
Ink sheet
• Do not hold the ink cassette with wet hands. Avoid touching the
ink sheet, and avoid getting dust on it. Dirt or moisture may cause
banding or affect print quality, tear ink sheets and prevent printing,
or damage the printer (=
4).
• When turning the sprocket, turn it gently, only until the sheet is taut.
Forcing the sprocket or overtightening it may tear ink sheets and
prevent printing, or SELPHY may run out of ink before paper.
• Never reuse ink cassettes, which may damage the printer or cause
malfunction.

Handling and Maintenance
• Do not subject the printer to excessive force, which may damage the
printer or cause paper jams.
• Do not expose the printer to insecticides or other volatile substances.
Additionally, do not store the printer in contact with rubber, vinyl, or plastic
products over extended periods, which may deteriorate the casing.
• Avoid condensation on the printer, which may happen when moving
the printer from cold to warm environments. Put the printer in a sealed
plastic bag and allow it to adjust to the new temperature before removing
the bag. If condensation forms, allow the printer to dry naturally at room
temperature before using again.
• When the printer becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the air vent (=
5) becomes dusty, remove the ink cassette
(=
16) before wiping the dust away, to prevent dust from getting inside
and affecting print quality.
• Never wipe the printer with solvents, such as benzene or thinner, or
neutral detergent, which may cause deformation or peeling of the
casing.
