To return to the usual printing mode

When printing ends and the print paper automatically emerges
from the paper outlet, remove the paper from the printer.

•Avoid getting liquids on the “Memory Stick” or PC
card or using them in areas subject to high
humidity. Otherwise, data may be rendered
unreadable.
•When the “MEMORY STICK”/PC CARD indicator
is lit, do not eject the “Memory Stick” or PC card.
Otherwise, they 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 several times. Never pull
out the paper forcibly until the PRINT indicator
turns off and the print paper emerges
automatically.
•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; the
color change or deterioration may occur.
•An image which is damaged or has some kind of
trouble does not appear in the image list. The file
error message appears on the display. If there are
no images stored in the “Memory Stick” or PC
card, the no file message appears on the display.
•Depending on the file type and size of an image, it
may take 5 to 60 seconds to display a full-size
image on the monitor.

•Depending on the type of digital still camera, it
may take some time for the thumbnail list to be
displayed.
•The printer can handle and display up to 999
image files. If there are more than 999 images
stored in the “Memory Stick” or PC card, use the
computer to display and handle the remaining
images.
•Depending on the type of digital still camera, the
aspect ratio of a recorded image differs, so the
image may not be printed in the entire printable
area.
•Depending on the type of digital still camera,
preview images may be displayed along with the
primary images in the thumbnail list. 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.
•Depending on the type of digital still camera, an
image may be stretched vertically if it has been
rotated or processed with your digital still camera.
This is not because of trouble with the printer, but
because the image was rewritten with your digital
still camera.

Printing all the images or preset images
at one time
You can print all the images stored in a “Memory Stick” or PC card at one time. You can also
print images preset by your digital still camera (DPOF) at one time.

To cancel the selection
Move the yellow frame to the image you want
to cancel and press CANCEL. The orange area
turns gray and the selection is canceled.

What is “DPOF”?

Notes

The “DPOF” is a format to record the information
necessary for automatically printing images shot
with a digital still camera at a printing shop or with
a home-use printer. The printer can automatically
print the preset number of copies of the images
preset for printing with DPOF (Digital Print Order
Format).

•For details on the preset print settings, refer to the
operating instructions of the digital still camera
you are using.
•Depending on the type of digital still camera and
others, the preset printing function supported by
the printer, or sometimes the function itself, is not
available.
