Preparing the Ink Cassette

1. Check the ink cassette and ink sheet.
   • Holding the ink cassette without touching the ink sheet, check the size (such as “Postcard Size” or ‘Card Size”) to make sure it matches the size of paper you will print on

• Do ot hold the ink cassete with wet hands. Avoid touching the ink shee, and avoid getting dust on it. Dirt or moisture may cause banding or affect print quality, tear ink shests and prevent printing, or damage the printer.
• When turning the sprocket, turn it gently, only until the sheet is taut. Forcing the sprocket or overtightening it may tear ink sheets and prevent printing, or SELPHY may run out of ink before paper.
• Never reuse ink cassettes, which may damage the printer or cause malfunction.

Preparing the Paper Cassette

1. Check the paper size.
   • Check the size on the paper cassette (such as “Postcard Size” or “Card Size) to make sure it matches the size of the ink cassette.

Security Precautions

Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi .

• Use only networks you are authorized to use.
  This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays the results on the screen

Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown networks) may also be displayed However, attempting to connect to or sing such networks could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure to use only networks you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to connect to other unknown networks.

If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.

• Transmission monitoring
  Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions and atlempt o acquire the data you are sending

• Unauthorized network access
  Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
  Addiionally, you could fall victim o other types of unatthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard atlacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their racks when infirating other systems) to prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly secure your WiFi network .
  Only use this product’s W-Fi function with a proper understanding of Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security settings
