Important Safety Instructions

Read all of the instructions in this section before using your printer. Also, be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.

When choosing a place for the printer

Observe the following when choosing a place for the printer:

❏ Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that

extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. If you place the printer by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the printer and the wall. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.

❏ When storing or transporting the printer, do not

tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridge.

❏ Leave enough space in front of the printer for the

paper to be fully ejected.

❏ Avoid places subject to rapid changes in

temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer and the AC adapter away from direct sunlight, strong light, water, or heat sources.

❏ Do not leave the printer in a place subject to high

temperature, such as in a car. Also, keep the printer away from direct sunlight, strong light, and heat sources. Otherwise, the printer may be damaged or ink may leak.

❏ Avoid places subject to dust, shock, or vibration.

❏ Leave enough room around the printer to allow

for sufficient ventilation.

❏ Place the AC adapter near a wall outlet where the

plug can be easily unplugged.

❏ Do not place or store the printer, the AC adapter,

or the optional battery outdoors.

6 Safety Instructions

When setting up your printer

Observe the following when setting up the printer:

❏ Do not block or cover the vents and openings in

the printer.

❏ Power supply cords should be placed to avoid

abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC adapter or power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter.

❏ Use only the power-supply cords that comes with

this product. Use of another cord may resu lt in fire or electrical shock, or injury.

❏ The AC adapter model A361H is designed for use

with the printer with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.

❏ Use only the type of power source indicated on

the AC adapter's label, and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord that meets the relevant local safety standards.

❏ Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as

photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

❏ Avoid using electrical outlets controlled by wall

switches or automatic timers.

❏ Keep the entire computer system away from

potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

❏ Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord, AC

adapter, and the optional battery.

❏ If you use an extension cord with the printer,

make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

English

Safety Instructions 7

❏ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair

the AC adapter, power cord, printer, and options by yourself except as specifically explained in the printer's guides.

❏ Unplug the printer and the AC adapter, remove

the optional battery from the printer, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer, the AC adapter, or the optional battery; the printer, the AC adapter or the optional battery has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer, the AC adapter or the optional battery does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

For users in the United States and Canada:

This mark indicates that the battery will be recycled by RBRC. When you dispose of the battery, contact RBRC.

Warning:

❏ Do not dispose of batteries as ordinary

refuse. Instead, dispose of them in a collection or recy cle box in accordance with local laws.

❏ Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery

in fire.

When handling photo cartridges

Observe the following when handling photo cartridges:

❏ Do not shake photo cartridge after removing it

from the bag; this can cause leakage.

❏ Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge;

Safety Instructions 11

❏ Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date

printed on the cartridge carton: otherwise, it may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge within six months of installing it.

❏ Do not dismantle photo cartridges or try to refill

them. This could damage the print head.

❏ After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a

cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.

❏ Store photo cartridges in a cool, dark place.

❏ The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a

variety of cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.

Safety Instructions 13

Welcome!

PictureMate™ 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.

14 Welcome!

Special Features

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

From the PictureMate Main Menu, you can print all your photos or you can select just the ones you want. See “Basic Photo Printing” on page

You can crop photos right from PictureMate—no computer required. See “Cropping Your Photo” on page 31.

If your camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can pre-select which photos to print while the memory card is still in your camera. Then, when you insert the card into PictureMate, it knows which photos you chose. See “Printing Camera-Selected DPOF Photos” on page 27.

If you have a PictBridge

- or USB DP (USB Direct Print)-enabled camera, you can connect the camera to PictureMate and control printing right from your camera. See “Printing From a

PictBridge-Enabled Camera” on page 42.

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 “Printing From a Bluetooth

Device” on page 44.

Note:

PictureMate also supports P.I.M. (PRINT Image Matching™) and Exif Print image enhancement standards that are built into many cameras. To see if your camera is P.I.M.-enabled, see your camera's documentation.
