■Install the photo cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.

■Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton; otherwise, it may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge within six months of installing it.

■After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.

■Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.

■Do not touch the green IC chip on the bottom of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.

■The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.

■Store each photo cartridge so that the bottom of its packaging faces down.

PictureMate Screen (LCD) Safety Instructions

■The LCD screen contains a few small bright or dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that the screen is damaged in any way.

■Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen. Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

■If the LCD screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
