In such cases the printer will probably not work properly and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the power and do not use the printer for at least one hour.

If you run into any problems using the printer, use the following to solve the problem.

If the problem persists, consult your Sony dealer.

About “Memory Stick” and PC card

Specifications

2

Notice for users

The printer can read and write “Memory Stick” and PC card (PCMCIA ATA compatible type II flash memory cards with a power specification of 5V or 3.3/5V). By using a commercially available PC card adaptor, you can also use Smart Media and other types of compact flash cards.

On “Memory Stick”

There are two types of “Memory Stick”: general “Memory Stick” and “MagicGate Memory Stick.” The “MagicGate Memory Stick” is equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology. You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with your printer. However, because the printer does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with the printer is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.

To protect “Memory Stick” images

To prevent accidental erasure of important image data, slide the write protect switch on the “Memory Stick” to the write protect position when you just view the images. Only when you write, delete data, or format a “Memory Stick,” slide it to the write enable position.
