Caution: To ensure good results, use a genuine PictureMate Photo
Cartridge and do not refill it. PictureMate calculates the amount of ink
remaining using an IC chip on the photo cartridge, so even if the
cartridge is refilled, the IC chip will report that it is empty.

Do not use a photo cartridge if the date on the cartridge has expired.

Do not leave PictureMate, a PictureMate Photo Cartridge, or
PictureMate with a PictureMate Photo Cartridge installed exposed to
heat or direct sunlight.

Printing

PictureMate can print photos from these devices:

❏ Your digital camera’s memory card.
❏ A data storage device, such as a CD, Zip disk, or flash

memory (thumb) drive. See the Using PictureMate Without
a Computer book for details.

❏ A PictBridge- or USBDP-enabled digital camera. See the

Using PictureMate Without a Computer book for details.

❏ A Bluetooth

®

-enabled device (requires an optional

Bluetooth Photo Print adapter). See the Using PictureMate
Without a Computer book for details.

❏ Your computer. See the Using PictureMate With a Computer

booklet and the on-screen User’s Guide (included on your
PictureMate CD) for details.

However your photos are stored, make sure the image files
meet these requirements:

❏ JPEG files or uncompressed Tiff files only
❏ The file storage device should comply with DCF (Design

rule for Camera File systems) Version 1.0

❏ Resolutions ranging from 160 × 160 to 4600 × 4600 pixels

Your PictureMate recognizes and prints the first 999 photos
on your memory card or device.

Inserting a Memory Card

way. See above for supported photo file formats.
