What is the Color Video Printer?

The CVP-MS is a color video printer which stores the pictures played back on a video
equipment or those broadcast on TV, and then prints the stored images. Basic
operation is very simple. You can make a basic full-size printout using only the four
buttons on the unit or the remote commander. Going beyond the basics, you can make
a variety of printouts by changing the way to store the pictures (MEMORY MODE
Setting) and the way to print the stored images (PRINT MODE Setting) according to the
menus on the screen.

¢ To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the printer from electrical outlet before
cleaning and servicing the printer.

| On moisture

i e If the printer is brought directly from a cold location to warm place or placed in an extremely warm or
| condensation humid room, moisture may condense inside the unit. 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 do not use the printer for at least one hour.

_ Oncleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may
damage the finish.
On installation

Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
—vibration
—high humidity
—excessive dust
—direct sunlight
—extremely high or low temperatures
Do not use electronic equipment near the unit. The unit will not work properly in electromagnetic
fields.
The unit is designed to operate horizontally. Never attempt to operate the printer in a tilted
