Use the camera to print an image (page 17)

Connect to a PC (page 21)

Use the PC to print an image (page 25)

PictBridge-compliant* (page 17)

The printer supports the PictBridge standard, so that you can print an image easily from a PictBridge-compliant digital camera.

Paper tray allowing bulk printing of 20 sheets (page 14)

With the supplied paper tray, you can print up to 20 sheets of print paper at one time.

Windows PC support with a convenient USB connection (page 19)

By connecting the printer to your PC via a USB connector and installing the supplied printer driver, you can print images from your PC.

Super Coat 2

The Super Coat 2 feature enables high durability and moisture or fingerprint resistance, keeping your prints in good condition for an extended period of time.

Auto Fine Print 3

The Auto Fine Print 3 analyses the picture information of an image, including the Exif data, and corrects the resulting picture to make an image look more natural and beautiful.

Exif 2.21** (Exif Print) support (page 29)

When you use the supplied Picture Motion Browser software to print an image from your PC, you can choose Exif Print picture correction in addition to the conventional OS picture correction. In Exif Print correction, the supplied printer driver uses the Exif data of an image and the printer‘s color processing to adjust and reproduce an image with supreme picture quality.

Before you begin

* PictBridge is a standard that allows you to

connect a digital camera directly to a printer without a PC, enabling direct printing on the spot.

** Exif (Exchangeable image file format for

digital cameras) Print is a global standard for digital photo printing. A digital camera supporting Exif Print stores data relevant to the shooting conditions as each shot is taken. The printer utilises the Exif Print data stored in each image file to ensure the printed result matches the original shot as closely as possible.

Red-eye reduction and other adjustments (PC mode only, page 29)

You can adjust an image to reduce the redeye phenomenon that may occur when the subject was shot with flash. Adjustments of brightness, hue, and other elements of picture quality are also possible.

(the maximum borderless printing size)

Notes on using print packs

• Always use the print pack designed for this printer only. If you use different types of print pack, printing may not be possible or malfunction may occur.

• The side without the imprinting is the printing surface. Inferior print quality may result if the printing surface is contaminated with dust or fingerprints. Be careful to avoid touching the printing surface.

• Do not bend the paper or tear it off at the perforations before printing.

• Do not print on used sheets of print paper or attempt to rewind the ribbon inside the print cartridge. Doing so could result in damages to the printer.

• Please do not disassemble the print cartridge.

• Do not pull out the ribbon from the print cartridge.

Notes on storing print packs (for quality prints)

• When you are going to store a partially-used pack of the print cartridge and print paper for an extended period of time, store it in its original bag or in a similar container.

• Avoid placing the print pack in locations that are subject to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

• Use print pack within two years from the date of production.

Use the oil ink pen to write on the paper after printing. You cannot type on the print paper using an ink-jet printer, etc.

– Do not attach sticker or stamps on the print

paper. – Do not fold or bend the print paper.
