OVERVIEW

This product carries out the functions of a high quality ink-jet portable printer and is characterized by reduced weight and wireless operating mode. The printer is fitted with a 3-color head for high quality printing of photographs on photographic paper or plain paper without borders. The printer can be powered with rechargeable batteries and is equipped with a Bluetooth interface for wireless connection from a mobile phone, to become an inseparable companion during your leisure time.

It can be used in the handy PC-free or stand-alone mode in which it is possible to print 10x15 cm (4”x6”) format photographs simply connecting a PictBridge-compatible, DPOF or non PictBridge/DPOF digital camera to the USB interface, without having to connect the printer to a computer and therefore without having to switch on the PC. It is also possible to insert memory cards in the related slots on the side panel of the printer for selection and printing of the photos saved. Photographs can be printed directly from a mobile phone via wireless technology using the Bluetooth interface integrated in the printer.

The printer can be connected to a personal computer on the second USB interface. In this case, as in PC-free mode, the Olivetti Toolbox application can be used for fast access to all available capabilities, to use the document management software and the additional software available on the "Installation" CD-ROM. note: If you want to connect the printer to a personal computer, this must use the Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000 or XP operating system, or MAC OS X 10.2 or higher version.
