2. Set the paper size of the printer driver to one of the abovementioned paper sizes.
3. From the application, send multiple images.
Note) Because they are carried out by the print job, multiple layout are carried out when there are multiple images
in a single job.
If you want to layout the same image, send the same number of images as the number-of-sheets setting.

< Paper size (6x4) x N setting >
If you set the paper size setting to (6 x 4) x N when printing 6 x 4 size to 6 x 8 size media, printing is optimized to
reduce consumption of the ribbon. Furthermore, if you set the paper size setting to (5x3.5) x N when printing 5 x 3.5
size to 5 x 7 size media, printing is similarly optimized to reduce consumption of the ribbon.
The above operation applies only to the DP-DS620. When (6x4)xN is selected with the DP-DS620 (A), printing is
performed the same as for (6x4)x2 without rewinding the ribbon. The same applies for (5x3.5)x2 even if (5x3.5)xN is
selected.
The following section shows the differences in ribbon consumption when (6x4), (6x4) x 2, or (6x4) x N is specified for
the paper size setting.
