Overview
What This Product Can Do
This unit allows you to transfer image data from
commercially available digital cameras via wireless LAN
SD cards, and print ID photos.
The unit has the following features.
Note
For details on recommended digital cameras, contact your
dealer.
ID photo printing
• The unit uses face recognition technology to
automatically detect the position and size of a face in
image data, and automatically aligns the image size to
match your ID photo requirements (see page 19). This
allows for easier ID photo printing.
• You can add original ID photo layouts to the basic
layouts that are available by default. Use a computer and
the supplied utility software to create the additional
layouts (see page 22 or refer to the Setting Guide for the
DS ID Photo Utility). This provides flexibility for a wide
range of ID photo applications.
Chapter
Logo printing
You can include logos on photo printouts by inserting an
SD card on which the logos, text, or original designs are
stored into the unit (see page 23).
Printing from computers
When the unit is connected to a computer via a USB cable,
data sent from the computer can be printed on the unit (see
page 29).
1) The supplied printer driver must be installed on the computer before
connection to the unit.
1)
1
Wireless printing (only for models supplied with
wireless LAN SD cards)
• By inserting the supplied wireless LAN SD cards in both
the unit and the digital camera, you can print photos
without having to switch storage media or connect
cables. Use the digital camera’s DPOF print mark
function to perform printing (see page 26).
• When you insert a USB memory device into the unit, the
image data that is wirelessly transferred to the unit is
automatically saved to the USB memory device. The
saved data can then be reprinted (see page 27).

Handling Print Packs
Notes
• A print pack contains a print cartridge and print paper.
Be sure to use the print cartridge and print paper
packaged in the same carton as a set.
• Always use a print cartridge that matches the size of the
print paper you want to use. Using an unmatched
combination will not only prevent you from obtaining
proper print results, but may also cause paper jams and
malfunctions.
• Do not touch the printing surface of the print paper or the
ink ribbon of the print cartridge. Fingerprints or dust on
the printing surface or ink ribbon may result in lower
printing quality.
• The number of sheets that can be printed depends on the
print pack type. The following lists the numbers of
sheets that can be printed with a single set of ink ribbon
and paper.

Note
Always use a power cord of the specified type.
• Do not write or type on the print paper before printing.
You may not be able to print if you do so. If you want to
write on the printed surface after printing, use an oilbased pen. Word processor text cannot be printed on
printed images.
• Do not attach stamps or stickers on the printing paper
before printing.
• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice
on the same paper will not make the printed image
darker, but may instead cause malfunctions.
• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing.
Doing so may cause malfunctions.
Notes on storage
• Avoid storage in locations subject to:
– high temperatures
– high humidity or dust
– direct sunlight
• After opening the package, use the print pack as soon as
possible.
• When storing after partial use, store the print pack in its
original packaging.

Shooting Preparation
This section describes how to prepare shooting
environments for ID photos that will be printed via
wireless LAN SD cards.
Digital Cameras
Use a digital camera that includes the following features.
• SD card support
• DPOF print mark support
For details on recommended digital cameras, contact your
dealer.
About DPOF
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard that
enables automatic printing of images taken with a digital
camera. Digital cameras supporting this standard write
information about image selection and print quantity onto
the memory card, and this information can then be used by
DPOF-compatible photo printers to enable quick and easy
printing.
• External flash
Use a device that is compatible with your digital camera.
Guide number of about 25 is recommended.
• Diffuser
Diffusing surface of about 100 × 70 mm.
• Shadow reduction flash
Use a device the fires synchronously with the digital
camera’s flash.
•Tripod
For the digital camera and the shadow reduction flash.
Place the digital camera about 1.8 to 2 m (5.9 to 6.5 ft.)
away from the subject.
Use a plain background, and make sure that shadows and
objects other than the subject do not appear in to photo.
