PictBridge-compliant*
(page 17)
Paper tray allowing bulk printing of 20
sheets (page 14)
The printer supports the PictBridge
standard, so that you can print an image
easily from a PictBridge-compliant digital
camera.
With the supplied paper tray, you can
print up to 20 sheets of print paper at one
time.
Windows PC support with a convenient
USB connection (page 19)
*
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.
By connecting the printer to your PC via a
USB connector and installing the supplied
printer driver, you can print images from
your PC.
** 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.
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.

finger prints to get on the
printed surface?
c Do not touch the printing surface (the
shiny-side with no imprint). Fingerprints
on the printing surface may result in
imperfect printing.
• Did you use used print
paper?
c Do not print on used print paper.
Printing an image twice on the same
paper will not make the printed image
thicker. Doing so could result in
damages to the printer.
• Did you use an AdobeRGB- c An AdobeRGB image file that supports
compliant digital camera,
not compatible with the
DCF 2.0, to shoot an image
in the AdobeRGB mode?
the DCF 2.0 will undergo color
corrections, but an AdobeRGB image file
that does not support the DCF 2.0 will be
printed in vague colors without color
corrections.
What is an AdobeRGB?
An AdobeRGB is a color space that the
Adobe Systems Incorporated employs
and uses as the default setting for image
processing software including the Adobe
Photoshop. The AdobeRGB, an optional
color space extended with the DCF 2.0,
determines the color ranges widely used
in printing industry.
For whether or not a digital camera
supports the AdobeRGB, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera.

Additional information
Precautions
On the AC adaptor
• Be sure to use the AC adaptor supplied
with the printer. Do not use other AC
adaptors, as this may cause a
malfunction.
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.
• Do not use the supplied AC adaptor to
other devices.
• Do not use an electrical transformer
(travel converter), as this may cause
overheat or a malfunction.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is
damaged, never use it any longer, as this
may cause danger.
On moisture condensation
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.
On transport
When you transport the printer, remove
the print cartridge, paper tray or AC
adaptor, from the printer and put the
printer and its peripherals in the original
box with the protective packaging.
On installation
• Avoid placing the printer in a location
subject to:
– vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
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.
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Do not use electrical equipment near the
printer. The printer will not work
properly in electromagnetic fields.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
printer.
• Leave enough room around the printer
so that the ventilation holes are not
blocked. Blocking these holes may cause
internal heat build-up.
On cleaning
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.

Exif 2.21 (Exif Print)
Glossary
Exif (Exchangeable image file format for
digital cameras) Print is a global
standard for digital photo printing. A
digital 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.
*1 When the “Auto Fine Print 3” is enabled
and an image (JPEG file) is shot by an Exif
Print (Exif 2.21)-compliant digital camera,
the image is automatically adjusted to its
optimum picture quality and printed.
Auto Fine Print 3
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.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
This camera conforms with the DCF
(Design rule for Camera File system)
standard established by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association) to maintain file
exchangeability and compatibility
between digital cameras and related
products. Complete exchangeability and
compatibility, however, are not
guaranteed.
PictBridge
A standard specified by Camera &
Imaging Products Association that
allows you to connect PictBridge-
complaint digital camera directly to the
printer without a PC, enabling direct
printing on the spot.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
The format used to record the
information necessary for automatically
printing images shot by a digital camera
at a printing shop or with a home-use
printer. The printer supports DPOF
printing and can automatically print the
preset number of copies of the DPOF
preset images.
