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.

PRINTING PHOTOS FROM A BLUETOOTH PERIPHERAL
Your printer is equipped with an integrated Class 2 Bluetooth component.
Its default address is 0000 so it can directly print any .JPEG transmitted from a Bluetooth mobile phone
located within a maximum distance of 10 meters from the printer.
note: You can change your printer’s default Bluetooth address from your personal computer, if
connected to the printer.
1 Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer. For information see "Loading Paper".

from the printer, launch a Bluetooth discovery procedure directly from your peripheral. By activating
this procedure, your Bluetooth peripheral will search for another Bluetooth device in the vicinity (in this
case, your printer) with which it can share data. For information on how to launch a Bluetooth
discovery procedure, read your peripheral’s User’s Guide.
5 When your Bluetooth peripheral has discovered your printer, launch the print job directly from your
Bluetooth device. For instructions, read your peripheral’s User’s Guide.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This chapter outlines the basic operating information that will put you in the condition to start using
your printer when connected to a computer.
Before you begin:
1 Make sure that your printer and personal computer are connected properly and that the software on
the “Installation" CD-ROM was successfully installed on the computer as indicated in the Installation
Guide provided with your printer.
2 Load the paper on which you want to print. For more information see “Loading Paper".
3 Make sure that the out of ink indicator on the control panel is not flashing, or not illuminated. If it is, it
is suggested that you replace the ink cartridge. For more information see “Replacing the Ink
Cartridge".
4 Bear in mind that the buttons on your control panel are not active when the printer is used from the
Toolbox installed on your personal computer. Only the Cancel button can be used to interrupt a print
job underway.
THE TOOLBOX
The Toolbox application allows you to control printing operations directly from a single user interface
on your computer monitor.
Included in the “Installation" CD-ROM, the Toolbox is installed automatically on your computer when
you install the software contained on this CD-ROM.

Settings • Change the Toolbox default settings.
THE PRINTER STATUS MONITOR
The Printer Status Monitor provides information on the current state of your printer. It is installed
permanently on your computer when you install the software contained on the "Installation" CD-ROM.
Displayed automatically at the beginning of a print job, the Status Monitor:
• displays a graphical representation of the percentage of the print job already completed.
• displays the page number being currently printed out of the total number of pages of the job.
• displays a graphical representation of the estimated amount of ink, in percentage, still available in the
cartridge.

• provides you with the address of the manufacturer’s web site, where you can access the information
needed to purchase new ink cartridges.
The Status Monitor closes automatically at the end of the print job, but you can close it to its icon on
the Windows task bar at any time.
If you decide to close the Status Monitor during a print job, it will be automatically redisplayed in the
following conditions:
• when the ink remaining in the cartridge is low, or when the cartridge is out of ink. A coloured
exclamation mark will indicate when the cartridge in a low ink condition and the importance of the
condition. Pop-ups will be displayed with the address of the manufacturer’s web site, where you can
access the information needed to purchase a new ink cartridge.
The Printer Status Monitor also displays error pop-ups when:
• your printer runs out of paper.
• a paper jam has occurred.
• your printer is busy with another task.
• your printer is not recognised.
• the ink cartridge carriage is jammed.
• your printer does not work (printer error).
In all of the above error conditions, you can choose whether to continue or cancel the print job by
