Important Safety Instructions
Before using your PictureMate, read the following safety
instructions to make sure you use it safely and effectively (see
the online User’s Guide for additional safety instructions).
● Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on
the printer.
● If you use the printer in places where the use of printers is
restricted, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow all
instructions in those places.
● Do not insert objects through the slots in the printer.
● Take care not to spill liquid on the printer and the AC
adapter.
● Do not put your hand inside the printer or touch the photo
cartridge during printing.
● Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases
inside or around the printer. Doing so may cause fire.
● Always turn the printer off using the P On button. Do not
unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until
the On light goes out.
● Before transporting the printer, make sure that the photo
cartridge is installed.
● Leave the photo cartridge installed. Removing the cartridge
can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer
from printing or cause ink to leak out.
● Do not remove the memory card or turn off the printer
while the computer and the memory card are
communicating (when the memory card light is flashing).
● The methods for using memory cards vary according to
card type. Be sure to refer to the documentation packaged
with your memory card for details.
● Use only memory cards compatible with the printer (see
● Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends
beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer
will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. If you
place the printer by the wall, leave more than 4 inches
(10 cm) between the back of the printer and the wall.
● When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand
it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may
leak from the cartridge.
● Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to
be fully ejected.
● Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. Also, keep the printer and the AC adapter away
from direct sunlight, strong light, water, or heat sources.
Caution: Keep PictureMate out of the sun and don’t
leave it in your car or other location where it can get
too hot or too cold. Otherwise PictureMate may be
damaged or ink may leak.
