Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe  
Use Of Equipment  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards  
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and  
safety is to be assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and  
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with  
the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or  
changing connections.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of  
your equipment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally,  
or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your  
dealer.  
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it  
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the  
switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special  
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the  
requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your  
hearing.  
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete  
safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided  
according to the instructions.  
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL...  
—
—
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other  
opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be  
safe than sorry!

ABOUT THERMAL HEADS  
•The thermal heads, necessary for printing, are located  
within the unit. The heads can become extremely  
warm. To prevent possible burns and injuries, do not  
touch the thermal heads.  
•When the printer is used for extended periods, the  
thermal heads experience wear and tear just like VCR  
heads. As the thermal heads become worn, print  
quality will gradually decrease. When you notice a  
decline in quality, it is possible that the heads may  
need to be replaced. Consult your JVC dealer.

If condensation occurs inside the printer, it may adhere  
to print paper during printing, causing poor quality  
prints and paper jams. If you think condensation may  
exist within the unit, let the unit sit for at least 2 hours  
(with the power on) to dry sufficiently. If paper is stuck  
within the unit, remove it before turning the power on.  
Unused print paper subjected to moisture should not  
be used for printing.

Exercise caution when moving the printer. If you  
drop the unit, do not attempt  
to use it. If during use you  
notice that the cabinet is  
damaged, shut the printer  
down, unplug it and contact  
your JVC dealer. Use of the  
printer under these conditions  
can lead to fire or electric  
shock.  
•Condensation may occur in the following situations:  
1) In a room when the heater suddenly comes on;  
2) In the direct path of cool air from an air  
conditioner;  
3) When the unit is moved from a cool place to a  
warm place.  
DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer’s  
power cord, or leave the cord near any heat-  
generating appliance, as this can  
damage the cord. Avoid

About Color Print Paper Sheet Sets (optional)  
You must use one of the sets shown in the following chart:  
SET  
CONTENTS  
USES  
PX-K50SFAU  
• Standard Print Paper (50 Sheets)  
Print your favorite images, just like  
snapshots.  
(Standard type) â€˘ Ink Cassette (50 Prints)  
PX-K25UFAU  
(Glossy type)  
• Super-Fine High Grade Paper  
(25 Sheets)  
• Ink Cassette (25 Prints)  
Make customized picture postcards,  
greeting cards, etc. with less color  
fading compared to standard paper.  
Before Printing  
After Printing  
• Do not touch the printing side of the paper.  
• Insert the printing paper shiny side up (the  
side with no printing on it) in the paper tray.  
A paper jam could result if the paper is  
inserted with the wrong side facing up.  
• Do not use folded, creased, curly, or  
perforated paper in the printer. Doing so  
could result in a paper jam or other  
malfunction.  
• If you touch a fresh print with wet hands,  
the print image may be discolored.  
• If a print absorbs organic cleaning solvents  
(alcohol, ester, keton, etc.), the colors will  
fade.  
• If cellophane tape or soft PVC are affixed to  
a print, the chemical reaction will cause  
accelerated color fading.  
• When writing on a print sheet, be sure to  
use a pencil or an oil-based writing utensil.  
If you apply too much pressure, you’ll leave  
imprints on the print sheet.  
• Do not use paper that is wet or damp.  
Printing may not be possible and paper  
jamming may occur.  
• Do not touch or pull out the ink cassette’s  
ink sheet.  
Storage  
• Keep young children away from the ink  
cassette’s ink sheet.  
• When the ink cassette is empty, replace it  
with a new one. A spent ink cassette cannot  
be reused. Do not try to rewind and re-use  
cassette.  
• Do not expose the paper to high tempera-  
tures, high humidity and/or direct sunlight.  
• You can write on the back side of a print  
sheet.  
• If you want to write something or stick a  
stamp on a sheet, wait until printing is  
finished. If you write something or stick  
something on before printing, the printer  
may not work properly.  
• Avoid storing prints in areas subject to high  
temperatures or humidity, or near a heater  
or heat-generating device.  
• Do not store prints in a soft plastic folder.  
Accelerated color fading may result due to  
the chemical reaction, or the print(s) may  
stick to the folder.  
• Do not store 2 prints with the printed sides  
touching, as the sheets may stick together.  
• Store print paper in its box, on a level  
surface. Failure to do so may cause the print  
paper to curl or bend, which can result in a  
paper jam within the unit.  
• Carefully read the precautions in the color  
print paper sheet set box and on the back of  
the color print paper sheet set before using.

CLEARING PAPER JAM  
12  
EN  
Clearing a Paper Jam  
If a paper jam occurs, turn the printer off, and then turn it back on again. When the power is  
turned on, the printer checks the position of the paper and automatically performs a reset  
operation, ejecting any paper inside the printer.  
If turning on the printer again does not eject the jammed paper, turn the printer off again.  
If repeating this operation several times still does not clear the jammed paper, it will be  
necessary either to remove the paper yourself or else to contact your JVC dealer.  
If you can see the jammed paper:  
• If you can see the jammed paper in the paper outlet on the top of the printer, turn off the  
printer, unplug the power cord, and then use a narrow grasping tool, such as a pair of  
tweezers, to grasp the paper and pull it out. Be careful not to tear the paper.  
In some cases the ink sheet will be adhering to the paper; pull both out carefully.  
• If the ink sheet is stuck on the paper, slowly peel the ink sheet from the paper, and then slowly  
remove the ink cassette from the printer.  
• If the ink sheet is not damaged, you can continue to use the ink cassette after taking up the  
slack in the ink sheet. However, it is possible that the next print made with this ink cassette  
may not come out well.  
• If the ink sheet is damaged, the ink cassette can not be used anymore.  
• If you can see the jammed paper in the paper tray inlet, etc., but are not able to remove it, do  
not continue attempting to remove the paper. Instead, contact your JVC dealer.  
If you can not see the jammed paper:  
• If you do not know where the paper is jammed or if the paper tray is stuck, do not attempt to  
remove the paper. Instead, contact your JVC dealer.
