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
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.
®
is
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.
2
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.
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.

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.

enlarge a section of your photo (see page 16).

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.
1 Make sure PictureMate Zoom is turned on.
Note: Copying to a CD takes extra energy. If you’re using
the optional battery, make sure it’s fully charged, or
connect the AC power adapter.
2 Insert your memory card into PictureMate.

that the CD is being read.

card, skip to the next step.

Then press OK when you see a photo you want to
copy.)

Menu, highlight Save Photos, then press OK.)

photos or just the selected photos, then press OK.

the confirmation screen, press OK again.
10 When you see a message asking if you want to
print an index of your copied photos, select Print
Backup Index or Do Not Print. If necessary, make
sure paper is loaded. The sheet automatically
prints once the backup is complete.
26
11 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete
the backup. The CD is ejected automatically when
the backup is finished.
Each time you copy photos to the same CD,
PictureMate creates a new numbered folder (001,
002, etc.) where it stores your photos.
If another CD is required to save all the photos,
you will see a message on the screen. Insert
another CD and press OK.
Caution: Avoid handling the printer during backup. Also,
do not remove the memory card or CD while photos are
being saved, or you may lose photos on your card or CD.
If you want to print any of your photos from the CD,
see page 32 for instructions.
