Features
Photo-realistic printing
With its dye sublimation printing system, the digital photo printer DPP-EX7
can make photo-realistic prints meeting a number of different requirements.
Super Coat 2 feature
The Super Coat 2 enables high durability and moisture or fingerprint
resistance, keeping your prints in good picture quality for an extended
period of time.
Auto Fine Print 2 feature (page 58)
The Auto Fine Print 2 analyses the picture information of an image and
corrects it as vivid, clear, and natural picture.
Exif 2.2* (Exif Print) support (page 58)
The printer supports Exif 2.2. When the Auto Fine Print 2 is effective, the
printer automatically adjusts an image saved by a digital still camera
compatible with the Exif Print standard and then print it with optimal
picture quality (for JPEG files only).
Easy stylus operations on the color LCD screen
With the color touch-sensitive LCD screen, you can easily perform the
operations with the touch of a stylus and preview the images to be printed.
To select an image or an item, just tap the screen lightly with the stylus
supplied with your printer. A series of screen-activated operations will
navigate you though the printing process.
Selection of print sizes and border/borderless print
You can select from a large, dynamic Post Card (4 x 6 inch) size, 3.5 x 5 inch
size print or an economical Small (3.5 x 4 inch) size print. For the Post Card
(4 x 6 inch) size and 3.5 x 5 inch size prints, you can also select a print with or
without border.
Selection of print finish (page 59)
You can select the print finish from either glossy or texture.
* Exif (Exchangeable image file format for digital still cameras) Print is a global
standard for digital photo printing. A digital still camera supporting Exif Print
stores the data relevant to the conditions of shooting 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.

such as an original card, calendar, split images, a sticker with framed
images, and an index print of the images stored in a “Memory Stick” or
PC card (page 36). With the Tool function, you can paste characters,

of sheets does not exceed 25 for the Post Card (4 x 6 inch) size or 30 for the 3.5 x 5
inch size and Small (3.5 x 4 inch) size print paper.
– Do not place different types or sizes of paper in the tray.
– Do not write or type on the printing surface of the paper before printing. If you
want to write greetings or draw on the printed surface after printing, use an oil
ink pen.
– You cannot print on the reverse side of the print paper (ex. the address side of the
Post Card (4 x 6 inch) size print paper).
– Do not print on the used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper
will not make the printed image thicker.
– Do not print on the print paper that is ejected from the printer without being
printed.
– Do not attach stickers or anything else on the printing surface before printing.
– Do not remove the backing from sticker print paper before printing.
– Do not fold or bend the print paper before printing.
– Make sure to use the print paper designed for this printer only.
Notes on storing the print paper
•Avoid placing the print paper in a location subject to high temperatures, high
humidity, excessive dust or direct sunlight.
•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.
•When you are going to store partially-used print paper, store it in its original bag.

Notes
•When the “MEMORY STICK” or PC CARD indicator blinks or the data access message
appears, do not eject the “Memory Stick” or PC card. Otherwise, it may crash.
•While printing, never move or turn off the printer; the print cartridge or paper may
become stuck. If this happens, turn the printer off and on, and resume printing from
the beginning.
•While printing, the print paper is partially ejected from the paper outlet in stages.
Never pull out the paper forcibly until the PRINT indicator turns off and the print
paper emerges automatically.
•When the width or height of an image is smaller than 480 dots, the
image is displayed in a small size. You can print the image but the
printing quality is rough due to its small image size.
•An image without thumbnail data, such as those created with a
computer application, is displayed as the mark shown right. If you
select the mark and the preview image is displayed, you can print the
image. If you cannot print, see “Troubleshooting” on page 90.
•Once you have selected images in the “Printing multiple images” procedures, you
cannot print an image with the cursor that is not selected.
•The time required to display a preview image differs depending on the number of
files contained in a “Memory Stick” or PC card, image size, or the file type.
•The time required to display the image list differs depending on the number of files
contained in a “Memory Stick” or PC card, image size, file type or the digital still
camera type.
•The printer cannot display the images saved in a folder of forth or higher hierarchy.
•The image number displayed in the screen is the same as those displayed in your
digital still camera. For a file created with a computer application, the first 8
characters of its file name will be displayed as its image number with the printer.
•When you name or rename an image file on your computer and its file name includes
characters other than alphanumeric characters, the file name may not be displayed
correctly or the image may not be displayed (read error) on the printer.
•Do not leave more than 20 sheets of the ejected printed paper on the paper tray.
•When using your printer in low ambient temperatures, the black lines may be
displayed on the LCD display, which is not of a printer’s malfunction. You can print
an image without problem.

temperatures
• 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.
• Do not use electrical equipment near
the printer. The printer will not work
properly in electromagnetic fields.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the printer

may cause internal heat build-up.
• When the printer is not going to be
used for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
• Do not handle the printer roughly.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
always unplug the printer from the

On moisture condensation
On cleaning
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, turn off the power and do not
use the printer for at least one hour.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine, which may
damage the finish.
On cleaning of the LCD display, please
see page 12.
On restrictions on duplication
If duplicating documents with the
printer, pay special attention to the
following:
On transport
When you transport the printer, remove
the print cartridge, paper tray, the
“Memory Stick” or PC card from the
printer and put the printer and its
peripherals in the original box with the
protective packaging.
• Duplication of banknotes, coins, or
securities is against the law.
• Duplication of blank certificates,
licenses, passports, private securities,
or unused postal stamps is also
against the law.
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.
• TV program, films, video tapes,
others’ portraits or other materials
may be copyrighted. Unauthorized
video printing of such materials may
infringe the provisions of the
copyright law.

Cleaning the inside of the printer
If white lines or dots are printed on the pictures, use the supplied cleaning
cartridge and paper to clean inside the printer.
Notes
•Make cleaning only when there are white lines or dots on the print.
•When you can obtain proper printing performances, cleaning will not improve the
printed picture quality.
•With the supplied cleaning kit, you can make cleaning for the maximum of about 20
times. As the number of cleaning times increases, the cleaning paper loses its
cleaning effect.
•Do not place the cleaning paper on the print paper, which may cause paper jam or
other troubles.
•If a cleaning does not improve printed picture quality, please make cleaning a
couple of times.
•You can also make cleaning with the protective sheet contained in the printing pack
designed for the DPP-EX7. To use the protective sheet for cleaning, insert the paper
with its imprint surface facing down into the tray.

Glossary
Auto Fine Print 2
Exif 2.2 (Exif Print)
The function automatically corrects
the picture quality so that an image
may be printed in more vivid, clear
and beautiful pictures. It is
especially effective for a darker
image with low contrast. The
pictures are corrected to reproduce
natural skin colors, vivid tree leaf
green, or clear sky blue.
Exif (Exchangeable image file format
for digital still cameras) Print is a
global standard for digital photo
printing. A digital still camera
supporting Exif Print stores the data
relevant to the conditions of shooting
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*1.
