3. Load the Paper Roll: Insert the 5x7 photo paper roll into the designated paper tray or spindle. Ensure the paper is oriented correctly, typically with the glossy side facing up or as indicated by your printer.
4. Install the Ink Ribbon: Carefully insert the ink ribbon cartridge into its slot. Ensure it clicks into place securely. Avoid touching the ribbon film directly.
5. Close the Printer Cover: Close the printer cover firmly until it latches.
6. Power On: Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer. The printer may perform a self-test or calibration.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the DNP DS40 5x7 Photo Paper Media is correctly loaded into your DNP DS-40 printer, you can proceed with printing. The printing process is primarily controlled by your computer or connected device and the printer's software/drivers.

• Prepare Your Image: Ensure your digital image is ready for printing. For best results, images should be high resolution and correctly sized for 5x7 inch prints.
• Select Printer and Settings: From your computer's photo editing software or print dialogue, select the DNP DS-40 printer. Choose the appropriate paper size (5x7 inch) and media type (glossy photo paper).
• Initiate Print: Send the print command. The printer will automatically feed the paper and apply the ink from the ribbon to create the print.
• Retrieve Print: Once printing is complete, carefully retrieve the finished photo print from the printer's output tray.

For advanced printing options or specific software settings, consult your DNP DS-40 printer's software manual.
