Introduction

What the Digital Photo Printer Can Do

High-quality Photo Printing

The sublimation printing process used by this printer makes it possible to print images with fine photographic quality.

Prints with no white border

The paper that is used for printing has perforations near both edges that allow you to tear off the blank strips of paper on each edge.

Laminate Patterns

Because laminate processing is performed while photos are printed, the photos will not become discolored over time. You can select from among the following laminate options:

• Glossy: Produces a glossy print.

• Texture: Produces a textured print.

• Matte: Produces a matte print.

Compact, Thin, and Light Design

The printer itself is thin and the size of an A4 sheet. The printer can operate either in a vertical position or in a horizontal position. The printer weighs only 2.7kg, making it light and easy to handle.

Checking the Packing List

Check the contents of the box against the packing list.

Paper supply/eject tray (1)

Stands (2)

Power cord (1) Tray case (1) Ink ribbon cartridge (sufficient for printing 10 sheets) (1) Print paper (5 sheets each of UPC-10P23 and UPC10P34) (1) CD-ROM (driver, application) (1) Operating Manual (this manual) (1) Software license agreement (1) Warranty (1)

Notes

• We recommend saving the box and the packing materials in case it is necessary to transport or ship the printer.

• When shipping the printer, remove the ink cartridge and the paper supply/eject tray from the printer.

Paper Jams Can Be Cleared Easily

If the paper jams, it can be easily cleared simply by removing the cover.

Requirements

When using a Macintosh

Printing processing is performed faster when there is more memory and hard disk space available. Therefore, we recommend allocating as much memory and hard disk space as possible. The following environment is required in order to use the UP-DP10.

When using a Windows computer

< Requirements in order to connect to a

USB port:

• A personal computer on which Microsoft Windows 98 runs normally

• At least 32MB of RAM

• At least 30MB of hard disk space

• A USB port* *Connection requires a USB cable with a

male type A connector and a male type B connector. (Refer to the illustration elsewhere on this page.)

< Requirements in order to connect to a

printer port:

• A personal computer on which Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows 95 runs normally

• At least 32MB of RAM

• At least 30MB of hard disk space

• A printer port* *Please see the user's manual provided with

your computer for the appropriate type of printer cable.

• A Power Macintosh computer running Mac OS

8.6 or later, and which is equipped with a USB port as a standard feature

• ColorSync2.5 or later

• At least 64MB of RAM

• At least 30MB of hard disk space *Connection requires a USB cable with a male

type A connector and a male type B connector. (Refer to the illustration below.)

Male type A connector

Male type B connector

Note

When using device driver (Windows\system\lpt.vxd) version 4.00.953 in Windows 95, normal printing might be impossible. In this event, obtain the most recent driver from your Windows 95 distributor.

Attaching the Stands to the Printer

The stands can be attached by screws. The mounting of the stands depends on whether the printer is going to be used in the vertical position or the horizontal position. (Refer to the illustration.)

Connecting the Printer to a Computer

Notes

• Before connecting the printer to a computer, be certain to first turn off the power for the printer, the computer, the monitor, etc.

• Read the operating manual for the personal computer carefully.

• When connecting to a printer port, we recommend using a shielded printer cable not more than 2m long and with a double-ended ferrite core.

• Make sure that you insert the cable connectors all of the way when making the connections.

• The driver provided with this printer does not support usage through a network.

• Proper operation can not be assured when USB connection is made through a hub.

• The printer cannot be connected using both a USB cable and a parallel cable. Connect it using one type of cable or the other.
