Note: • Memory Stick/PRO, SD/MMC and xD-Picture Card shares the same slot.
• When cards are inserted in the two slots at once, the slot which will be accessed first is determined according to the priority shown in the table.
• To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, first remove the card in the active slot.
• In memory card direct printing mode, the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is inserted in another
nonselected slot.
• When the card inserted in the slot is accessed from the PC, only one drive is displayed at a time as a removable disk* and only the card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the
removable disk. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed.
(This is for Windows. For Macintosh, the card in the active slot will be mounted on the desktop.)
• Does not support 5V type of memory cards.
• When a memory card is being accessed, do not touch the memory card.
• For detailed information on the supported file system and formatting the memory card, refer to “ 1.7.2 Memory Card Direct Print Function ( p. 27 ) ”.

1.7.2.7 Print Layout
The memory card direct print function supports two print layouts for printing images;
Borderless, and With Border. The Borderless layout is not allowed for some type of
paper (refer to
the print area and margins of “Borderless” and “With Border” layouts.
Trimming Function
A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating an image with the
types of photo frames handled by the printer. This function is always activated so
that the image fits within the photo frames.
This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and an image to be printed are matched in length along
one side and the image is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on
that side. Any part of the image that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed
away (not printed).
