Using the printing pack
You need an optional printing pack designed for the printer. The pack contains a set of print

Select the printing pack according to the type of printing you will do:
Printing Pack Contents

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 sticker/Print cartridge for 30 prints
SVM-30SW09 30 sheets of Small Size 9-split Sticker/Print cartridge for 30 prints
Notes
•Use the printing pack for this printer only.
•Always use the print cartridge and print paper
from the same carton as a set. If you mix
cartridges and paper of different types, printing
may not be possible, or a paper jam or other
trouble may occur.
•When storing a partially-used pack of the print
cartridge and print paper for an extended period
of time, store it in its original bag or in a similar
container.
•Do not touch the ink ribbon of the print cartridge
or the printing surface of the print paper. If there
are fingerprints or dusts on the printing surface or
the ink ribbon, the printing quality may
deteriorate.
•For quality print, avoid placing the print cartridge
and print paper in locations that are subject to
high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust,
or direct sunlight.
Loading the print cartridge
1 Turn on the printer and pull and open the cartridge
compartment lid.
2 Insert the print cartridge into
the printer firmly until it clicks
into place and close the
cartridge compartment lid.
To replace the print cartridge
When the print cartridge runs out, the
cartridge error indicator lights and the error
message appears on the screen.
Open the cartridge compartment lid, push up
the eject lever, remove the used print
cartridge, and then insert the new cartridge.
Notes
•If the print cartridge does
not click into place, remove
it and then re-insert it.
Only when the ink ribbon
is too slack to be loaded,
wind the ink ribbon in the
direction of the arrow to
remove the slack.
•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 malfunction or breakdown may occur.
•If the print cartridge is not loaded when you turn
on the printer, the warning sound beeps and the
cartridge error indicator lights up.
•Never put your hand into the cartridge
compartment. The thermal head reaches high
temperatures, especially after repeated printing.
Notes
•If print paper does not feed automatically, the
paper error indicator lights. Pull out the paper
tray and check the paper jam.
•When adding the print paper to a partially full
tray, make sure that the total number of sheets
does not exceed 25 for the Post Card Size or 30 for
the Small Size print paper. Do not place different
types of paper in the tray. Otherwise, paper jam or
malfunction may occur.
•Do not remove the backing from sticker print
paper before printing is completed. Otherwise,
jams or printer damage 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.
• If the print paper runs out when you press PRINT,
the warning sound beeps and the paper error
indicator lights.
Inserting the print paper
1 Open the paper tray lid and
set the partition according to
the print paper size you use.

paper with its printing surface (the side with
no imprint) facing up and the arrow pointing

sheet together into the tray. After you placed
the paper, remove the protective sheet.
You can set up to 25 sheets for Post Card Size
and 30 sheets for Small Size print paper.

the back of the partition.
