4. Operating Instructions
Once the paper and cartridge are loaded, you can begin printing from your compatible Liene Amber photo printer. The printing process utilizes thermal dye-sublimation technology, applying colors in multiple passes to achieve high-quality results.
- Power On: Turn on your Liene Amber photo printer. Ensure it is connected to your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) via Wi-Fi or the appropriate connection method as per your printer's manual.
- Select Photo: Open the Liene photo printing application on your device and select the image you wish to print.
- Print Command: Follow the app's instructions to initiate the print command. The printer will begin processing the image.
- Multi-Pass Printing: The printer will feed the paper back and forth multiple times, applying each color layer (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan) and finally a protective laminate layer. This multi-pass process is normal and ensures the vibrant, durable finish.
- Retrieve Print: Once all layers are applied and the print is complete, the photo will be fully ejected. Carefully retrieve your finished 4x6 inch print.
