About PRINT Image Matching
EPSON’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.) technology lets your
digital camera and printer work together automatically to produce the best prints
possible. Digital camera manufacturers that support PRINT Image Matching
include EPSON, Casio,
®
Pentax,
Ricoh,® Sanyo,® Sony,® and Toshiba.® Check with your camera’s
manufacturer or visit www.printimagematching.com to find out if PRINT Image
Matching technology is included with your camera.
®
Konica,® Kyocera,® Leica,® Minolta,® Nikon,® Olympus,®
With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific
printing options for each camera model. These options include:
■ contrast, sharpness, and brightness
■ gamma level, color space, color saturation, and noise reduction
■ shadow point, highlight point, and color balance
The camera saves this information in each JPEG or TIFF image file. Your
TM
printer—along with EPSON Software
®
for Adobe
Photoshop® (included with your printer)—uses the information to
Film FactoryTM or the P.I.M. II Plug-in
ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
But don’t worry if your camera doesn’t include PRINT Image Matching
technology—your Stylus Photo R200 gives great photo printing results.
About Exif Print
The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your
digital camera settings in JPEG/TIFF files so your printer and application can use
them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print
information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, and exposure settings,
resolution, and lens use in the JPEG/TIFF image file. Your printer—along with
EPSON Software Film Factory and the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop—
uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

Printing From Start to Finish
Before you start, make sure your printer is set up and its software is installed as

Whenever you print, make sure you do the following:
■ Use the right paper.
For the best-looking photos, most vivid colors, and greatest detail, always use
genuine EPSON papers and EPSON inks.
■ Choose the right printer settings.
Your printer automatically adjusts itself for each type of paper. That’s why
printer settings are important. They tell your printer what kind of paper
you’re using and what type of print you want. Make sure you check your
printer settings every time you print.
Loading Paper
1. Open the output tray and its extension.
2. Insert your paper against the right edge of the sheet feeder behind the tab.
