Things You Should Know
•
About the software. Before you install the software, we recommend that
Back Next
you make sure that your handheld device meets the minimum system
requirements necessary for installing it, and that you back up all of your
information prior to installation. You bear the entire risk of use or
performance of the software and documentation.
•
About online Help.
The P-500ir image viewing application provides Tips
and explanatory information whenever you tap the ‘i’ icon at the top of a
dialogue box.
•
About smart card adapters
. Smart card adapters accept memory cards up
to 32MB. We recommend using 2 to 32MB memory cards in your
camera so the P-500ir can successfully send images to your PDA.
•
About PDA-based images. Palm compatible images stored in your PDA
device are intended for viewing only and display in full-screen view.
•
About printer battery power. To conserve power, the printer shuts down
after prolonged inactivity. You may want to manually shut down the
printer to conserve power while editing photos on your PDA, then
reactivate the printer when you are ready to print. When the printer
power level is low the P-500ir may refuse print and connect requests.

The application operates in two modes: View-only and Get Image. In Viewonly mode you get images already stored in your PDA. Images display one at
a time. In Get Image mode you get images from either a memory card
inserted in the P-500ir printer, or an eyemodule2 digital camera. Images
display full-screen, or as 4 or 9-image thumbnails.
Note: If your PDA displays text and images in black and white, your photos will
print in color if you captured your images in color.
Getting Images from the P-500ir printer
1 Align the P-500ir infrared port
within 1–2 feet of the PDA
infrared port.
2 Turn on the P-500ir. Press
and hold .
