Introduction

Describes the features and system configuration of the color video printer.

Operation

Describes actual printing once all connections and adjustments have been made, as explained in the next chapter. You will be able to make various types of printouts after reading through this chapter.

Installation and adjustment

Describes how to make connections and make adjustments using the menus displayed on the video monitor and printer window display. Once all connections and adjustments have been made, there should be no need to perform these operations again during normal printing operations. These operations must, however, be performed after reinstalling, or if the picture quality degrades, or if adjustment becomes necessary because the peripheral equipment is changed. Also covered is the use of the printer’s remote control unit (not supplied).

Others

Notes the precautions to be observed when using the printer, lists errors, warnings and their handling, and explains troubleshooting. Also provided is information on the locations and functions of parts and controls, and the on-screen messages and menus used to operate the printer. Should you encounter any unfamiliar terms or items while reading this manual, consult the index at the end of the manual.
