You need an optional printing pack designed for the printer. The pack contains
a set of print paper and a print cartridge for either Post Card size (4x6 inch) or
Small size (3.5x4 inch) prints.
Select the printing pack according to the type of printing you intend to do:

SVM-25LS

25 sheets of Post Card size photo paper/Print cartridge for
25 prints

SVM-25LW

25 sheets of Post Card size sticker/Print cartridge for 25
prints

SVM-30SS

30 sheets of Small size photo paper/Print cartridge for 30
prints

SVM-30SW

30 sheets of Small size stickers/Print cartridge for 30 prints

SVM-30SW09

30 sheets of Small size 9-split stickers/Print cartridge for 30
prints

•Use the printing pack for this printer only.
•Always use the print cartridge designed for the size of the print paper you use.  If

you mix cartridges and paper of different types or size, printing may not be
possible, or a paper jam or other trouble may occur.

•Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound print cartridge for printing.

Otherwise, proper printing result will not be obtained, or even a breakdown may
occur.

•Do not print on the used print paper.  Printing an image twice on the same paper

will not make the printed image thicker.  This may even cause a malfunction or
breakdown.

•Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge or the printing surface of the print

paper. If there are fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or the ink ribbon, the
printing quality may deteriorate.

•For high quality prints, avoid placing the printing pack in locations that are subject

to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

•When storing a partially-used pack of the print cartridge and print paper, store it in

its original bag or in a similar container.
