Basic Operations Cover Contents This chapter introduces basic printing operations such as preparing the printer, selecting images on a memory card, and specifying the number of prints. Part Names Basic Operations Print Settings Printing via Wi-Fi Printing via USB Cable Troubleshooting Initial Preparations..................................................................................... 8 Preparing the Ink Cassette.................................................................................
Initial Preparations Prepare for printing as follows. This example shows a Postcard-size (4x6 in.) 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. • Do not hold the ink cassette with wet hands. Avoid touching the ink sheet, and avoid getting dust on it.
Preparing the Paper Cassette 1 Check the paper size. zz Check the size on the paper cassette (such as “Postcard” or “Card Size”) to make sure it matches the size of the ink cassette. 2 Open both covers. zz There are two layers of covers. First open the outer cover ( ), and then the inner cover ( ). 3 Load the paper. Glossy side zz Load the paper in the paper cassette. zz The paper cassette holds up to 18 sheets. Loading 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or cause malfunction.
Loading the Cassettes 1 Open the covers. zz Open the ink and paper compartment covers. Installing and Plugging in SELPHY zz Insert the ink cassette into the printer in the direction of the arrow on the cassette until it clicks into place. zz Close the ink cassette compartment cover. 3 Load the paper cassette. zz Making sure the outer cover is open (= 9), insert the paper cassette all the way into the compartment.
