Note: • Memory Stick/PRO, SD/MMC and xD-Picture Card shares the same slot.

• When cards are inserted in the two slots at once, the slot which will be accessed first is determined according to the priority shown in the table.

• To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, first remove the card in the active slot.

• In memory card direct printing mode, the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is inserted in another nonselected slot.

• When the card inserted in the slot is accessed from the PC, only one drive is displayed at a time as a removable disk* and only the card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the removable disk. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed. (This is for Windows. For Macintosh, the card in the active slot will be mounted on the desktop.)

• Does not support 5V type of memory cards.

• When a memory card is being accessed, do not touch the memory card.

• For detailed information on the supported file system and formatting the memory card, refer to " 1.7.2 Memory Card Direct Print Function (Photos Mode) ( p . 2 6 ) " .

or more images, the first 9,990 images are detected and become valid in the printer. The detecting order varies depending on the folder configuration in the card, so which images are included in the first 9,991 cannot be defined. However, images specified by camera definition files can be selected to be printed even when the total number of images has exceeded 9,990. Up to 999 camera defined image files can be specified.

Supports DCF Ver.1.0 or 2.0compatible data (Exif format, 160x120 pixels)

The printer sorts image files in ascending ASCII order based on their full-pathnames such as “\DCIM\100EPSON\EPSN0000 .JPG”, and assigns a number to each of them. If over 1,000 files exist in the memory card, up to 999 files can be numbered and displayed on LCD. You can select which 999 files should be displayed from the menu on LCD.

Thumbnail images are used for the Print Index Sheet function.

• The image number assigned by the printer may be different from that assigned by the camera.

• If two or more files have the same full pathname, the sorting function may not operate properly. (existence of the same full-pathname is not allowed under DOS)

 Trimming Function

A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating an image with the types of photo frames handled by the printer. This function can be switched On/ Off. This function is described briefly below.

The printed photo frame and an image to be printed are matched in length along one side and the image is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on that side. Any part of the image that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed away (not printed). However, if the number of pixels of the longer side of the image are more than twice as long as the shortest side, the trimming function is not effective when printing even the trimming is set. The trimming function is always set On if borderless or upper half layout is selected.

 Rules on Numbering and Rotating Images

Figure 1-8. Trimming Function (when trimming is not operated)

The numbers shown in the figure below indicate the photo frame numbers used for the print layout. Horizontally oriented images are printed as shown by the

numbers. Vertically oriented images, which has more pixels vertically than horizontally, the vertical photo data is allocated instead, and the number shown in the figure below is then rotated 90 degrees before being printed. In Index printing mode, the numbers are printed as they are shown below, regardless of the shape of the photo data.

However, when the photo data has an equal number of pixels vertically and horizontally the photos are printed without rotation, regardless of the layout.

NOTE: The vertical photo data refers to when the photo data file itself is set for a

vertical (portrait) orientation. Photo data is defined as the vertical photo data if it is taken by a digital camera with a portrait position detecting function.)
