Overview

What you can do with this printer

The Digital Photo Printer DPP-FP35 provides the following two operation modes,

depending on the device you use for printing.

PictBridge mode PC mode

7 GB

Before you begin

PictBridge-compliant*

(page 17)

The printer supports the PictBridge

standard, so that you can print an image

easily from a PictBridge-compliant digital

camera.

Windows PC support with a convenient

USB connection (page 19)

By connecting the printer to your PC via a

USB connector and installing the supplied

printer driver, you can print images from

your PC.

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.

Paper tray allowing bulk printing of 20

sheets (page 14)

With the supplied paper tray, you can

print up to 20 sheets of print paper at one

time.

*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.

** 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.

finger prints to get on the

printed surface?

•Did you use used print

paper?

•Did you use an AdobeRGB-

compliant digital camera,

not compatible with the

DCF 2.0, to shoot an image

in the AdobeRGB mode?

Cause/Solutions

c When a digital camera saves an image, a

preview image may be saved along with

the primary images. The printed quality

of the preview images will not be as

good as the primary images. Note that if

you delete the preview images, the data

for the primary images may be

damaged.

cWipe the plastic part of the print

cartridge and remove dust.

cDo not touch the printing surface (the

shiny-side with no imprint). Fingerprints

on the printing surface may result in

imperfect printing.

cDo 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.

cAn AdobeRGB image file that supports

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.

Symptom

The picture

quality and

colors of the

image previewed

on the screen of

the digital

camera differ

from those

printed.

The image

cannot be printed

fully in the print

range.

The image is

stretched

horizontally

when printed.

The image is

printed at an

angle.

Check

•Is the aspect ratio of the

image correct?

•Did you rotate the image

or add other process?

•Is the paper tray inserted

properly?

Cause/Solutions

cBecause of differences in the phosphor

method or profiles of a monitor or LCD

screen, please regard the image being

displayed on the screen as just a

reference.

cDepending on the type of digital camera

used, the aspect ratio of the recorded

image differs, so the image may not be

printed covering the entire printable

area.

cDepending on the type of digital camera

used, the image may be stretched

vertically if it has been rotated or

processed using your digital camera.

This is not because of trouble with the

printer, but because the image was

rewritten with your digital camera.

cRe-insert the paper tray firmly straight

in to the end.

If paper jams

If the print paper jams, the ERROR

indicator lights or flashes rapidly and

printing stops.

When the ERROR indicator lights,

remove the print paper and resume

printing.

When the ERROR indicator flashes

rapidly, turn off the power with the

paper tray and print cartridge loaded.

Then turn on the printer again. When

the printer’s initial loading process ends,

remove the paper tray from the printer.

Check if there is jammed paper in the

paper outlet or feeding slot of the printer

and remove the jammed paper, if any.

Note

If you cannot remove the jammed paper,

contact your Sony dealer or service facilities.

To turn off the printer

Keep pressing the 1 (on/standby)

switch for longer than one second until

the 1 (on/standby) indicator turns to

red.

Pull out the

jammed paper

slowly.

Cleaning the inside of

the printer

printed on the pictures, use the cleaning

cartridge supplied and the protective

sheet of the supplied printing pack to

clean inside the printer.

Tip

You can also use the protective sheet

supplied in the optional printing pack.

Make sure that the digital camera and

the computer are disconnected from the

printer.

1Open the cartridge

compartment door and if

there is a print cartridge,

remove it (page 12).

2Insert the supplied cleaning

cartridge into the printer and

close the cartridge

compartment door.

6Remove the cleaning cartridge

and protective sheet from the

printer.

Tips

•Keep the cleaning cartridge and protective

sheet together for future cleaning.

•With a protective sheet, you can carry out

cleaning for the maximum of about 20

times.

When cleaning ends

Set the print cartridge and print paper

into the printer.

Notes

•Carry out 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.

•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

print paper and carry out cleaning, which

may cause paper jam or other troubles.

•If a cleaning does not improve printed

picture quality, please carry out cleaning a

couple of times.

Precautions

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.

•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.

On installation

•Avoid placing the printer in a location

subject to:

– vibration

– high humidity

– excessive dust

– direct sunlight

– 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 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.

•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.

•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.

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.

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.

Glossary

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.

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.

Exif 2.21 (Exif Print)

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.

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.
