Precautions 29

Miscellaneous

Precautions

Safety• Operate the unit using the power source specified in

“Specifications” (on page 32).• Be careful not to damage the AC power cord by

placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged AC power cord.

• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC power cord.

• Unplug the AC power cord by grasping the plug, not the cable itself.

• Do not disassemble the unit.• Do not remove the cabinet. There is a danger of

electric shock from the internal parts.• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the

unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.

• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony dealer.

InstallationAvoid placing the unit in a location subject to:mechanical vibration

– high humidity– excessive dust– direct or excessive sunlight– extremely high or low temperatures– Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit

from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.

Condensation• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in

temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. 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 forms, turn off the power and allow the printer to stand for at least one hour.

• If the film is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the film in the

film tray. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also, if the film is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.

• To store a half-used package of film, replace the film in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, before using sealed film, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the film is removed from its package.

Transporting the UnitBefore transporting the unit, remove the supplied accessories and then put them back into their original packing. Transporting the unit with the supplied accessories still installed may cause malfunctions.

Note

It is dangerous to move the unit with the casters used to stand it vertically. Do not use the caster to move the unit
