M-Series & Q-Series Printers Basic Maintenance

M-SERIES & Q-SERIES PRINTERS

Distinguishing Your M-Series and Q-Series Printer Model

The M-Series printers are versatile photo printers for use in photo labs by professional photographers, or in other

commercial situations which demand high speed and exceptional quality. Other information on the M-Series printers can be

found in the printer's field service manual or your system’s documentation suite.

Figure 3. The M-Series and Q-Series Printer Lines

Attention

Prior to moving the printer, the ink ribbon and paper cassette should be removed from the printer. Always have

assistance when lifting/moving the printer.

When reinstalling, check that the ribbon and the paper are properly positioned before resuming printing. If either

is positioned incorrectly, paper jams, print position errors, or other unexpected problems can occur.

Attention

Do not open the printer cover when the printer is printing. Doing so can cause damage to the thermal head.

The M4 and Q4 printers are very similar. The instructions written for one work for the other. Both the M4 and Q4 printers

have multiple paper sizes available. The most common paper size for both printers is 4x6.

The M8C and Q8 printers are interchangeable. Instructions written for one work for the other, and so forth.
