Preparations

Preparing the Printer

Before using the printer for the first time, perform the
following steps to insert the print cartridge and paper
tray. These preparations are not required at every use.
Perform them only when necessary.

Print packs

In order to print, a print pack designed for this printer
(UPC-X46 series, UPC-X45 series, or UPC-X34 series)
(not supplied) is required. A print pack is a set consisting
of print paper and a print cartridge.

Notes

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.

• Only use print packs designed for this printer.

• Always use sets of print cartridges and print paper that
match in size. Using a print cartridge together with
print paper of a different size may produce incorrect
printing results or cause paper jams and other
problems.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.

• Avoid touching the printing surface of the print paper
and the ink ribbon of the print cartridge, and avoid
storing print packs in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight. Fingerprints or dust on the printing surface or
ink ribbon may lower the print quality.

• When removing partially used print cartridges and
print paper from the printer for storage, store them in
their original packaging.

To load the print cartridge

Press the upper portion of the print cartridge cover
where PUSH OPEN is written to open it.

Notes

• Never put your hand into the cartridge slot as the
inside can reach high temperatures.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
print cartridge for printing. Doing so may produce
incorrect printing results or damage the printer.

• If the print cartridge does not insert properly, remove
it once before reinserting it. If the ink ribbon is too
slack to be loaded, remove the slack by winding the
ink ribbon in the direction of the arrow while pressing
the spool. This is the only time the ink ribbon should
be wound.

Notes on storage

• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.

• When removing a partially used print cartridge for
storage, store it in its original packaging.

To load the print paper

1

Load the print paper into the paper tray.

Print paper

Riffle through the print paper before loading it with
the printing surface (the side without imprinting)
facing up. Make sure that the arrow on the paper is
pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the
tray. You can load up to 25 sheets when using the
UPC-X46 or UPC-X45 series and 30 sheets when
using the UPC-X34 series.

• When you turn on the printer with no print cartridge
loaded, the lamp lights.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon or place the print cartridge

Preparations

Note

Be sure to keep the protective sheet as it is used
when cleaning the inside of the printer.

3

Insert the paper tray into the printer until it clicks
into place.

Note

Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or
dust on the printing surface may lower the print
quality.

Notes on loading the print paper

• Load UPC-X46 series print paper into the large paper
tray and UPC-X34 series print paper into the small
paper tray. The paper tray for UPC-X45 series print
paper (UPA-DX100TR) is not supplied. Mismatch
between the paper and tray sizes may result in a paper
jam.

• Do not remove or insert the paper tray while printing
is in progress.

• If the print paper does not feed automatically, the

lamp lights and a message displays. Pull out the

paper tray, and check for a paper jam.

• When loading additional print paper into the tray,
make sure that the total number of sheets does not
exceed 25 for the UPC-X46 and UPC-X45 series or 30
for the UPC-X34 series. Do not load different types of
paper in the tray together. Doing so may result in a
paper jam.

• Do not write or print text on the print paper before
printing. The printer may not be able to print on paper
that has been written on. When writing on an image
after printing, use an oil-based ink pen. Text from
word processors cannot be printed on the print surface.

• Do not attach stickers or tape on the print paper before
printing.

• Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image
twice on the same paper will not make the image
darker and may damage the printer.

• Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing.
Doing so may damage the printer.

• When paper is ejected after printing, do not allow
more than five sheets to accumulate in the paper tray.
Doing so may result in a paper jam.

Notes on storage

• Avoid storage in locations subject to high
temperatures and humidity, excessive dust, or direct
sunlight.

• Do not store print paper sheets with their printing
surfaces touching each other. Also, do not allow
printing surfaces to remain in contact with plastic or
rubber materials containing vinyl chloride or
plasticizers for extended periods of time. Doing so
may result in discoloration or bleaching.

• When removing unused print paper from the printer
for storage, store it in its original packaging.

Flash Modes and Example Shooting Conditions

The camera offers seven flash modes.
When setting up, make sure the distance between the
camera and the subject (L) is set so that apparent face
size fits the selected frame (guidelines) at about 1 meter.
Minor adjustments to apparent face size can be made
with the zoom.

For details on setting the frame, see “Setting the Frame
(FRAME)” on page 45.

Auto flash + auto exposure mode ( )

When the subject is not bright enough, the flash
automatically fires. This mode is suitable for both
outdoor and indoor portrait shots.

flash fires at the optimum brightness. The exposure and
shutter speed are automatically adjusted. This mode is
suitable for both outdoor and indoor portrait shots.

No flash + auto exposure mode ( )

The built-in flash does not fire. This mode is suitable for
shooting indoors with an automatic exposure setting
under stable light sources, such as studio light, video
light, and fluorescent light.

Red-eye reduction flash + auto exposure
mode ( )

This mode is designed to alleviate the tendency for the
subject’s eyes to appear red when shooting with the flash
in a dark environment.
When the surroundings are dark, the automatic firing of
the built-in flash is the same as that for the auto flash +
auto exposure mode ( ). But with red-eye reduction
flash + auto exposure mode ( ), a second flash fires
before the picture is taken to eliminate red-eye.

Auto flash + manual exposure mode ( )

The built-in flash fires at optimum brightness for a
subject about 1 meter away.
Use the b and B control buttons to set a negative EV
value when the distance L is less than 1 meter, or a
positive EV value when the distance is more than
1 meter. Be sure to take a test picture to check the
results. This mode is suitable for indoor ID portraits in
which the built-in flash is the main light source and a
shadow-clearing flash is connected to the camera by
synchronization cord.

Forced flash + manual exposure mode
( – )

You can manually set aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
sensitivity, and select one of seven flash intensity levels
(2 0.5EV) for the built-in flash before shooting. This
mode is suitable for shooting portraits in which the built­in flash acts as a trigger for the main light source, an
external flash connected to the camera by
synchronization cord.

To adjust the horizontal guidelines
(FRAME-[5])

The default setting for the three horizontal guideline
positions of FRAME-[5] is the same as that for
FRAME-[1]. You can adjust the position of the
guidelines by performing the following steps.

For the dimensions of prints after adjusting the
guideline positions, see “Dimensions for FRAME-[5]
prints” on page 48.

1

Display the SETUP screen.

For details on displaying the SETUP screen, see
“Displaying the SETUP Screen” on page 30.

2

Select FRAME by pressing the v or V control
button.

3

Press the ENTER button.
The frame selection screen appears.

4

Select FRAME-[5] by pressing the v or V control
button.
The guidelines for FRAME-[5] appear on the LCD.

Dimensions for FRAME-[5] prints

The default values for LINE1, LINE2, and LINE3 are
41, 157, and 182, respectively. You can calculate the
approximate values of (c), (d), and (e) for each print size
by multiplying the LINE1, LINE2, and LINE3 values by
the values in column F of the following table.

(c) = (the default value of (c) for the corresponding
size number) + (LINE1 – 41) × F
(d) = (LINE3 – LINE1) × F
(e) = (LINE2 – LINE1) × F

For example, when 10 is selected for the size number
with LINE1 and LINE2 at 51 and 157 respectively, the
approximate dimensions are as follows:

(c) = 5.0 + (51 – 41) × 0.23 = 7.3 mm (5/16")
(e) = (157 – 51) × 0.23 = 24.4 mm (31/32")

Note

The values in column F are rounded, so calculation
results will not be exact. Use the calculation results as a
reference, and confirm the actual dimensions after
printing.

Adjust the position of the three horizontal
guidelines.
LINE1 indicates the top line, LINE2 the middle
line, and LINE3 the bottom line.

Dimensions for FRAME-[6] prints

The default value for WIDTH is 128. You can calculate
the approximate value of (g) for each print size by
multiplying the WIDTH value by the values in column
G of the following table.

(g) = WIDTH × G

For example, when 10 is selected for the size number
with WIDTH at 128, the dimension is as follows:

(g) = 128 × 0.16 = 20.48 mm (13/16")

Note

The values in column G are rounded, so calculation
results will not be exact. Use the calculation results as a

CYN-RED adjustment (R parameter)

You can adjust the cyan and red color components. The
default is 0.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes
the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the
red component value in the picture increase in the linear
direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure

1. This adds more red as if a red light has been cast.
However, the maximum effective brightness value is

255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation
occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area
remains white even if the value is increased further in the
plus direction.
Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the
minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the red
component value in the picture decrease in the linear
direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the
figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the red color
darker and reduces the redness. The complementary
color cyan (light blue) is added. In this case, the white
area becomes bluish.

Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes
the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the
green component value in the picture increase in the
linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in
figure 1. This adds more green as if a green light has
been cast. However, the maximum effective brightness
value is 255. When the value becomes larger than 255,
saturation occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white
area remains white even if the value is increased further
in the plus direction.
Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the
minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the green
component value in the picture decrease in the linear
direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the
figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the green color
darker and reduces the greenness. The complementary
color magenta (reddish-purple) is added. In this case, the
white area becomes slightly magenta in color.

YEL-BLU adjustment (B parameter)

You can adjust the yellow and blue color components.
The default is 0.
Except for some special specifications, this adjustment
is not possible when B/W is selected.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes
the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the
blue component value in the picture increase in the
linear direction that the brightness increases as shown in
figure 1. This adds more blue as if a blue light has been

DARK adjustment (D parameter)

You can adjust the dark parts. The default is 0.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes
the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the
dark side of each of the RGB data increase
simultaneously in the linear direction that the depth
increases as shown in figure 2. This adds more depth.
However, the maximum effective darkness value is 0.
When the value becomes smaller than 0, saturation
occurs.
Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the
minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the dark side of
each RGB data lighter and decreasing the darkness.

LIGHT adjustment (L parameter)

You can adjust the light parts. The default is 0.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer
simultaneously changes the R, G, and B parameters as
shown in figure 1, making the light side of each of the
RGB data increase simultaneously in the linear direction
that the brightness increases. This gives an overexposed
quality to the picture.
Pressing b on the control button makes the light side of
each of the RGB data darker, and gives you a picture that
seems underexposed.

SHARPNESS adjustment

You can adjust the sharpness of pictures.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes
the value in the plus direction from 0 to 1, 2 … 7, adding
emphasis to edges in pictures. We recommend setting a
small value when the print size is small.

GAMMA adjustment (GM parameter)

You can adjust the gamma value. The default is 0.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer increases
the halftone of each of the RGB data in the direction that
the brightness increases.
Pressing b on the control button decreases the halftone
of each of the RGB data in the direction that the
darkness increases.

Using Guide Print to Check the Adjustment Results

You can print a guide picture to check the adjustment
results.

SHARPNESS

SHARPNESS adjustment is a function for adding
emphasis to edges in pictures. This function cannot be
used to increase the resolution. It is intended for
changing the sharpness.
SHARPNESS can be used as a parameter to improve
pictures, but increasing the sharpness too much will not
produce a natural picture. Generally, the default setting
is recommended. When a large print size is used and
SHARPNESS is set to a large value, picture quality does
appear to improve.

Contrast

In addition to the sharpness function, it is possible to add
sharpness to the image by adding the contrast of dark
and light. Contrast can be set using the DARK and
LIGHT items in the menu screen. Increasing the DARK
and LIGHT values in the plus direction increases the
contrast, and a high contrast image can be obtained. The
downside, however, is that increasing the contrast values
in the plus direction diminishes the amount of
information about white and black tones, and as a result,
the white and black gradation becomes coarser. Thus, an
appropriate contrast setting is required. We recommend
setting the contrast to +2 or +3.

Guide Print Function

Selecting the Guide Print-RGB or Guide Print-DLGm
layout before printing enables you to print a guide
picture that has each of the RGB or DLGm parameters
changed.

Guide Print-RGB (adjusting RGB parameters)

Selecting the Guide Print-RGB layout before printing
enables a guide picture (adjustment simulation) to be
printed for the RGB parameters. Since the picture used
for printing is the picture being played back on the
camera, you can actually adjust the picture quality while

Guide pictures can be printed on UPC-X46 series, UPC­X45 series, and UPC-X34 series paper.
The following is an example of a guide picture printout.

looking at the picture.
The picture in the center is printed using the current
color tone adjustment values. Six playback images of
differing color are printed around this picture.

The current state of each of the
DARK, LIGHT, and GAMMA
parameters is displayed for
reference.

This is a picture showing the current
state of the RED, GREEN, and
BLUE parameters.

This is a picture showing the RED
parameter decreased by 3 from the
current state.
The subject appears a little darker
than in the current picture, and
overall the picture appears slightly
cyan.

This is a picture showing the
GREEN parameter increased by 3
from the current state.
The white saturated parts remain
white and do not change. The
subject appears a little lighter than in
the current picture, and slightly
green.

The values below each of the pictures are for the R, G,
and B parameters. If, for example, you want to use the
color tone on the top left in the figure above, set the B
parameter to +3 because (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0,
+3).

This is a picture showing the BLUE
parameter increased by 3 from the
current state.
The white saturated parts remain white
and do not change. The subject
appears a little lighter than in the
current picture, and slightly blue.

This is a picture showing the GREEN
parameter decreased by 3 from the
current state.
The subject appears a little darker than
in the current picture, and overall the
picture appears slightly magenta.

This is a picture showing the RED
parameter increased by 3 from the

picture appears slightly yellow.

Shooting conditions of the camera

If you want to adjust (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3)
further, set the B parameter to +3, and then print another
Guide Print-RGB. This will give you a simulation for
each color variation with (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0,
0, +3) in the center.

Guide Print-DLGm (adjusting DLGm parameters)

Selecting the Guide Print-DLGm layout before printing
enables a color guide to be printed for the DLGm
parameters. Since the picture used for printing is the
picture being played back on the camera, you can
actually adjust the picture quality while looking at the
picture.

The picture in the center is printed using the current
color tone adjustment values. Six playback images of
differing color are printed around this picture.

This is a picture showing the DARK
parameter increased by 3 from the

current picture.

This is a picture showing the DARK
parameter decreased by 3 from the
current state. The deep parts

taken in a bright place.

The values below each of the pictures are for the D, L,
and Gm parameters. If, for example, you want to use the
tone on the top left in the figure above, set the D
parameter to +3 because (DARK, LIGHT, GAMMA) =
(+3, 0, 0).
If you want to adjust (DARK, LIGHT, GAMMA) = (+3,
0, 0) further, set the D parameter to +3, and then print
another Guide Print-DLGm. This will give you a
simulation picture for each parameter variation with
(DARK, LIGHT, GAMMA) = (+3, 0, 0) in the center.

This is a picture showing the LIGHT
parameter increased by 3 from the
current state.
The light parts become lighter than

Advice on adjusting color tones

The guide print function gives you a rough guide as to
how to adjust the color tone. However, if you understand
the following, you can use this function to its full
potential.
The guide print can also be used for black & white
prints. Black & white pictures printed with this system
are printed by overlaying the three colors cyan, magenta,
and yellow to express gray. Therefore, a perfectly
achromatic picture may not be obtained and colors may
sometimes be visible. A black & white guide print can
be used to adjust the balance of these three colors.

Complementary colors

Pictures are made up of the data of three colors (R data,
G data, and B data). The color tone adjustment function
can be used to change the balance of these three colors.
When the R parameter is changed, the CYN-RED (cyan
and red) indication appears on the LCD. Similarly, the
MAG-GRN (magenta and green) indication appear on
the LCD when the G parameter is changed, and the
YEL-BLU (yellow and blue) indication appear on the
LCD when the B parameter is changed.
The complementary colors cyan and red, magenta and
green, and yellow and blue are related. For example,
increasing red makes cyan lighter and decreasing red
makes cyan deeper.

Adjusting the Printer Picture Quality

Difference between selecting + and –

When you print a Guide Print-RGB with each of the
RGB parameters for the center picture set to 0, two
simulation pictures for each RGB parameter (with the
respective parameter set to +3 and –3 and the remaining
two parameters set to 0) are printed around the center
picture. The following explains the meaning of the + and
– symbols.
The R data, G data, and B data that make up the picture
data are digitized values representing the strength of
light of each color. The + setting is for strengthening the
light of the corresponding color. The – setting is for
weakening the light of the corresponding color. Data
(light) saturation can be obtained with the + setting.
When you need a white background, this feature enables
you to get the desired results without changing the
white.

• Setting in the + direction

When the R parameter is set to +3, for example, the light
of the red component is strengthened, giving the overall
picture a tinge of red. Since the amount of light also
increases at the same time, the brightness of the picture
increases by the corresponding amount.
However, some parts of the picture do not change no
matter how much the light is strengthened. These
include parts of the picture with absolutely no light
components (such as pure green, cyan, and blue parts,
their intermediate colors, and deep black parts), and
parts of the picture with saturated light components
(such as pure magenta, red, and yellow parts, their
intermediate colors, and bright white parts).

• Setting in the – direction

When the R parameter is set to –3, for example, the light
of the red component is weakened, giving the overall
picture a tinge of cyan (the complementary color of red).
Since the amount of light also decreases at the same
time, the darkness of the picture increases by the
corresponding amount.
This setting differs from the + setting in that a tinge of
cyan is added to parts in which light components are
saturated such as parts of pure reddish-purple
(magenta), red, and yellow or their intermediate colors
and bright white. This occurs especially in cases where
the background is white or the subject is wearing white
clothes.

white parts. To avoid this, set a plus value for the L
parameter that is equivalent to the minus value set for B
parameter. This has the same effect as setting plus values
for the R and G parameters without changing the B
parameter. The point to note here is that the overall
brightness increases.
