Notes • Before making connections, unplug the AC power cord of the printer and turn off a TV monitor. • When you do not use the supplied video connecting cable, use a commercially available video connecting cable shorter than 3 m. • When you use the LCD display or connect the printer to a PictBridge-compliant digital camera or PC to print an image, you do not need to connect your printer to a television. • Avoid connecting the VIDEO OUT (output) connector of the printer to a device other than a television. The unit may not operate properly or make a big noise. • The print paper emerges from the paper outlet a few times during printing. Do not block the paper outlet with the video connecting cable.

• Do not attempt to insert a memory card forcibly into or out of the slot. If you do so, the memory card or the printer may be damaged. • Do not remove the memory card while the access indicator is flashing; the memory card or printer may be damaged. • To avoid potential loss of data, make a backup copy of the contents of the memory card. We cannot compensate for any damage to or loss of data. • Check the memory card and insert it in the correct direction. If a memory card is forcibly inserted in the wrong direction, the memory card and its slot may be damaged. • Check the memory card type and make sure to insert it to the slot designed for the particular card type. If you insert a memory card to a different slot, the memory card may be damaged or you may not be able to remove the card from the slot..
