Welcome!

PictureMateTM is your easy-to-use, personal photo lab. Just insert a digital camera memory card and you’re ready to print brilliant, long-lasting photos. Because PictureMate is light and portable, you can print whenever and wherever you take pictures. Plus, your PictureMate photos are archival; generations from now your PictureMate prints will be as vibrant as they are today.

A Quick Introduction to the Digital Photography Process

With film cameras, the process was simple; buy film, take pictures, leave the film at the photo lab, and come back later for your photos and negatives. Since you had negatives, you could take them back later if you wanted reprints.

The digital process is simple too, and it gives you complete control. Just follow these basic steps:

1. Review and Delete

After you finish taking your photos, review them on your digital camera’s screen. Delete the photos you don’t want to print or keep.

2. Print

Insert your camera’s memory card in PictureMate, choose your photos, and print.

3. Save

To preserve your digital photo files (just like film negatives), save them to a CD or your computer. Then you can reprint them any time.

4. Clear the Memory Card

After you save your photo files, delete them from your memory card so you have room for more photos.

Special Features

Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier with these special features:

From the PictureMate Main Menu, you can print all your photos by pressing Print. Or you can select

just the ones you want. (See page 12.)

If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell phone, or computer, you can send photos wirelessly to PictureMate for printing. You

just need the optional Epson

Bluetooth Photo Print

Adapter. (See page 31.)

Note: PictureMate also supports P.I.M. (PRINT Image

You can crop photos right from PictureMate—no computer required.

card is still in your camera. Then, when you insert the card into PictureMate, it knows which photos you chose; just press

Print. (See page 15.)

If you have a PictBridge

(USB Direct Print)-enabled camera, you can connect the camera to PictureMate and control printing right from your camera. (See page 30.)

Supported Photo Formats

JPEG TIFF

Make sure your photos meet these requirements for printing with your PictureMate:

● JPEG files or uncompressed TIFF files only

Caution: Do not remove a card while the card light is flashing;

you may lose photos on your card.

Print a Proof Sheet With the Wizard

The PictureMate Print Wizard offers a simple way to print 4 × 6-inch photos. First, print a proof sheet showing thumbnail images for all the photos on your card. Then, choose the photos you want to print by selecting the photo numbers from the proof sheet.

When you insert the memory card, you see the PictureMate Print Wizard with this message:

Note: You should print a proof sheet if you’ve deleted photos or

taken new photos since the last time you printed one, as the photo numbering may have changed.

See your camera’s manual to choose photos for printing with DPOF, then insert your memory card in PictureMate. PictureMate automatically reads your pre-selected photos.

Print With DPOF

If you have chosen photos in your camera, DPOF appears as the Select Photo option. The photos that you chose for printing are automatically selected, including the number of copies.

Just press Print to print your DPOF photos.

Note: PictureMate prints borderless, 4 × 6-inch prints for all pre-

selected photos. To choose a different layout, see page 17.

Note: If you always want to print with the Wizard screen, turn off

DPOF in your camera.

Note: If you are printing Several photos, you already chose the

number of copies for each photo, so the Copies setting can’t be changed from the Main Menu. (You can choose up to 10 copies per photo when printing Several.)
