Welcome!

PictureMate DashTM and PictureMate ZoomTM are your easy-to-use, personal photo labs. 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 prints will be as brilliant and vibrant generations from now as they are today.

A Quick Introduction to

Digital Photography

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 the basic steps shown on the right.

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.

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, flash drive, or your computer. Then you can reprint them any time. (On PictureMate Zoom, you can use the built-in CD burner.)

4. Clear the Memory Card

After you save your photos, use your camera to delete them from your card to make room for more photos.

2

Special Features

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

From PictureMate’s photo viewer screen, you can view your photos and press Print to print the ones you want. Or you can select to print all photos. (See page 9.)

You can crop photos right from PictureMate—no computer required. (See page 16.)

If your camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can select which photos to print while the memory card is still in your camera. When you insert the card into PictureMate, you just have to press OK and Print.

(See page 13.)

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 page 28.)

If you want to print outdoors or in other places without convenient electrical outlets, you can buy the optional PictureMate battery. (See page 54.)

If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell phone, or computer, you can send photos wirelessly to PictureMate for printing using the optional Epson® Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter.

(See page 30.)

3

Supported Photo Formats

Make sure your photos meet these requirements for printing with your PictureMate (without a computer):

●JPEG files or uncompressed TIFF files only

●Resolutions ranging from 80 × 80 to 9200 × 9200 pixels

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

Where to Find Information

Storing and Displaying Your

PictureMate Photos

Photos printed on PictureMate photo paper are beautiful and long-lasting. Follow these guidelines to make sure they will look great for generations.

Caring for Your Photos

●To avoid scratches or smudging, do not rub the printed side of the photo.

●To prevent smudging, avoid stacking your photos until they are completely dry.

●Let photos sit for 24 hours before framing.

●After you print, the colors on your photos will take some time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors may look different than you expect.

Displaying Your Photos

●To ensure photos will last as long as possible, display them under glass or in photo albums.

●Keep photos out of the sun to help prevent fading.

Storing Unused Paper

Return unused paper to the original package. Store paper flat to prevent curling, and keep it away from extreme temperatures, high humidity, and bright light.

14

Do More With Your Photos

By pressing the Zoom button, you can crop and enlarge a section of your photo (see page 16).

●Fix photos that are too light or dark (see page 19)

●Add a date stamp to your photos (see page 21)

Save Photos to a CD

PictureMate Zoom can make backup copies of the photos on your camera’s memory card by saving them to a CD in its built-in CD burner.

With PictureMate Dash, you can connect an external CD burner. See the on-screen User’s Guide for instructions.

Saving Photos to the Built-in CD Burner

You can save photos to a CD using the built-in CD drive in PictureMate Zoom. Use only 12-cm CDs and select a quality brand. The following types are compatible with this printer:

●CD-R

●CD-RW Multi

●CD-RW High

●CD-RW Ultra

Note: PictureMate supports both 650MB (74 min.) and 700MB (80 min.) capacities for each type of CD.

You can also have PictureMate automatically print an index of your saved photos. An index provides small thumbnail images—up to 56 per sheet—of all the photos you’ve copied.

1Make sure PictureMate Zoom is turned on.
