Overview

What you can do with this printer

The Digital Photo Printer DPP-FP35 provides the following two operation modes,

depending on the device you use for printing.

PictBridge mode PC mode

Before you begin

PictBridge-compliant*

(page 17)

The printer supports the PictBridge

standard, so that you can print an image

easily from a PictBridge-compliant digital

camera.

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.

Red-eye reduction and other

adjustments (PC mode only, page 29)

You can adjust an image to reduce the red-

eye phenomenon that may occur when the

subject was shot with flash. Adjustments

of brightness, hue, and other elements of

picture quality are also possible.

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.

* 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.

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.

Note on storing printouts

Do not affix cellophane tape or plastic erasers to

printouts. Also avoid leaving printouts under

plastic desk mats.

Removing the print cartridge

When the print cartridge runs out, the

ERROR indicator will flash slowly.

Open the cartridge compartment door,

push up the eject lever, and remove the

used print cartridge.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the

rewound print cartridge for printing.

Otherwise, proper printing result will not be

obtained, or even a malfunction may occur.

• If the print cartridge does not click into place,

remove it and then re-insert it. If the ink

ribbon is too slack to be loaded, wind the ink

ribbon in the direction of the arrow to remove

the slack.

• Do not remove the print cartridge while

printing.

Notes on storing the print cartridge

• Avoid placing the print cartridge in a location

subject to high temperatures, high humidity,

excessive dust or direct sunlight.

– Do not attach sticker or stamps on the print

paper.

– Do not fold or bend the print paper.

– Total number of print paper does not

exceed 20 sheets.

– Do not print on the used print paper.

Notes on storing the print paper

• Avoid storing the paper with the printed

faces touching each other or in contact with

rubber or plastic products including vinyl

chloride or plasticizer for an extended period

of time; color changes or deterioration of the

printed image may occur.

• Avoid placing the print paper in a location

subject to high temperatures, high humidity,

excessive dust or direct sunlight.

• When you are going to store partially-used

print paper, store it in its original bag.

Precautions

• The printer is not disconnected from the AC

power source (mains) as long as it is connected

to the wall outlet , even if the printer itself has

been turned off.

• Connect the AC adaptor to an easily accessible

wall outlet close by. If some trouble occurs

while using the adaptor, immediately shut off

the power by disconnecting the plug from the

wall outlet.

• When you have finished using the AC adaptor,

disconnect it from the DC IN 24V jack of the

printer.

• The print paper emerges from the rear a few

times during printing. Do not block the rear

with the AC adaptor or AC power cord.

• Be sure to use the AC adaptor supplied with

the printer. Do not use other AC adaptor, as

this may cause malfunction.

• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is damaged,

never use it any longer, as this may cause

danger.

• Do not short the DC plug of the AC adaptor

with a metallic object, as this may cause

malfunction.

• Do not use the AC adaptor in a narrow space,

such as the one between the printer and the
