Exif 2.2* (Exif Print)

support (page 61)

Features

• The printer supports Exif 2.2.

Coupled with the Auto Fine Print 3

feature, the printer automatically

adjusts an image of an Exif Print-

compliant digital camera and prints it

with optimal picture quality.

xSupreme picture quality functions

enabling photo-realistic printing

High performance heat-resistant

technology for dye sublimation

printing

The printer employs the professional

dye sublimation printing systems. With

its professional digital filter, the printer

eliminates color deterioration that may

occur because of the heated head, and

reproduces photo-realistic prints.

• When you use the supplied

PictureGear Studio 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

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.

supreme picture quality.

Red-eye reduction and other

adjustments (MONITOR OUT/PC

modes only, page 35)

Auto Fine Print 3

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.

The Auto Fine Print 3 analyses the

picture information of an image,

including the Exif data, and corrects the

resulting picture. You can select a

correction option from “Vivid” to

improve the vividness of an image, or

“Photographical” to make an image

look more natural and beautiful. Thanks

to the heat-resistance process and a

high-speed CPU, Auto Fine Print 3

realizes even higher-definition

reproduction and quicker adjustments

than the previous Auto Fine Print 2

could.

* 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.

x Convenient printing operations

A wide variety of image filters

(MONITOR OUT mode only, page

34)

High-speed CPU enabling quick

adjustment and printing

The printer employs a high-speed CPU,

which allows you to process, preview,

and print an image quickly.

A variety of image processing functions

allows you to add a special effect to the

picture to produce sepia, monochrome,

or paint effects. By applying the GUI

3D engine to the printing data process,

you can enjoy the look of a fish-eye filter

or other interesting 3D print effects.

3D animation interface (MONITOR

OUT mode only)

The printer’s 3D animation interface

will allow you to figure out the next

step easily, learn what the icon or cursor

means, and enjoy operating the printer.

Slideshow feature (MONITOR OUT

mode only, page 65)

You can view a slide show of the images

on the memory card. You can also print

the image displayed on the monitor.

Paper tray allowing bulk printing of

25/30 sheets (page 15)

With the supplied paper tray, you can

print up to 25 sheets for Post Card size

and 30 sheets for 3.5 x 5 inch size or

Small size print paper, at one time.

PictBridge-compliant**

(page 81)

The printer supports the PictBridge

standard, so that you can print an image

easily from a PictBridge-compliant

digital camera.

x Versatile of printing

A choice of print sizes (page 12)

You can select from Post Card size, 3.5 x

5 inch size, and Small size prints.

Windows PC support with a

convenient USB connection (page

85)

By connecting the printer to your

computer via a USB connector and

installing the supplied printer driver,

you can print images from your

computer.

Border or borderless prints (page

61)

You can select a borderless or border

print for the Post Card and 3.5 x 5 inch

size prints.

A choice of print finish (page 61)

You can select from either glossy or

texture print finish.

** 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.

Notes

The printer provides the following three

AUTO printing methods:

• For how to preset images for printing, see

the manual of your digital camera.

• INDEX printing

• Some types of digital camera do not

support the DPOF function, or the printer

may not support some of the functions of

the digital camera.

You can print a list (index) of all the

images contained in the “Memory

Stick” or CompactFlash card in split

panes, which allows you to check the

contents of the memory card easily.

Press AUTO PRINT repeatedly

Insert the protective sheet with the

no-imprint side facing up and the

arrow pointing in the same direction

as the arrow in the tray. Insert the

performances, cleaning will not improve

the printed picture quality.

• The maximum cleaning times that you can

carry out is approximately 20. As the

number of cleaning times increases, the

cleaning loses its effect.

• Do not place the protective sheet on the

Additional information

• Do not use electrical equipment near

the printer. The printer will not work

properly in electromagnetic fields.

Precautions

• Do not place heavy objects on the

printer.

On safety

• Be careful not to set or drop any

heavy objects on the power cord, or

to damage the power cord in any

way. Never operate this printer with

a damaged power cord.

• Leave enough room around the

printer so that the ventilation holes

are not blocked. Blocking these holes

may cause internal heat build-up.

On moisture condensation

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the printer

and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any

further.

If the printer is brought directly from a

cold location to a warm location or

placed in an extremely warm or humid

room, moisture may condense inside the

unit. In such cases the printer will

probably not work properly and may

even develop a fault if you persist in

using it. If moisture condensation

occurs, unplug the AC power cord of the

printer and do not use the printer for at

least one hour.

• Never disassemble the printer.

• To disconnect the power cord, pull it

out by the plug. Never pull the

power cord itself.

• When the printer is not going to be

used for an extended period of time,

disconnect the power cord from the

wall outlet.

On transport

• Do not handle the printer roughly.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

always unplug the printer from the

electrical outlet before cleaning and

servicing the printer.

When you transport the printer, remove

the print cartridge, paper tray, the

memory card from the printer and put

the printer and its peripherals in the

original box with the protective

packaging.

On installation

If you no longer have the original box

and packing parts, use similar packing

material so that the printer will not be

damaged while being transported.

• Avoid placing the printer in a

location subject to:

– vibration

– high humidity

– excessive dust

– direct sunlight

– extremely high or low

temperatures
