Important Safety Instructions
Before using your PictureMate, read the following safety
instructions to make sure you use it safely and effectively:
● Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on
the printer.
● 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.
● Always turn the printer off using the On button. Do not
unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until
the power 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.
● 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.
● Do not leave the printer in places subject
to high temperature, such as your car.
Otherwise the printer may be damaged or
ink may leak.
● Avoid places subject to dust, shock, or
vibration.
● Leave enough room around the printer to allow for
sufficient ventilation.
