Do not bend the paper or tear it off at the perforations before printing.

Do not print on used sheets of print paper or attempt to rewind the ribbon inside the print cartridge. Doing so could result in damages to the printer.

Please do not disassemble the print cartridge. Do not pull out the ribbon from the print

cartridge.

Notes on storing printing packs (for quality prints)

When you are going to store a partially-used pack of the print cartridge and print paper for an extended period of time, store it in its original bag or in a similar container.

Avoid placing the printing pack in locations that are subject to high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or direct sunlight.

Use printing pack within two years from the date of production.

Note on storing printouts

Do not affix cellophane tape or plastic erasers to printouts. Also avoid leaving printouts under plastic desk mats.

Symptom

In the Edit menu, there are blank areas at the top and bottom of the previewed image.

Check

Is the previewed image extremely stretched vertically or horizontally?

Cause/Solutions

c If an image is extremely stretched vertically or horizontally, blank areas may appear in the Edit menu.

c The standard aspect ratio of an image shot with a digital camera is 3:4. When an image is edited or printed in the postcard or 3.5 x 5 inch size, it is saved as a more horizontal print image and its top and bottom edges will be cut and displayed in black.

Symptom

Paper does not feed.

Printing

Check

Is the print paper properly set in the paper tray?

Are you using print paper that was not designed for the printer?

Cause/Solutions

c If print paper is not properly loaded, the printer may develop trouble. Check the following: Is the correct set of print paper and

print cartridge loaded? (.page 11)

Does the print paper is loaded in the correct direction in the tray? (.page 13)

Did you place print paper exceeding the limit in the paper tray? (.page 13)

Symptom

Paper does not feed.

The print paper emerges partially during printing in process.

Check

Is the print paper jammed?

Is it in the middle of the printing process?

Cause/Solutions

cWhen the printer cannot feed the print paper, the / (paper/cartridge error) indicators flash and an error message is displayed in the MONITOR OUT mode. Remove the paper tray and check paper jam. (.page 89)

cThe print paper may emerge partially during printing. Wait for the print paper to fully emerge before taking it out.

Printed results

Symptom

The printed pictures are inferior in quality.

Check

Did you print preview image data?

Did you print an image whose size (width or height) is smaller than 480 dots?

Is the following mark displayed in the image list?

Did you use the Edit menu to enlarge the image?

Cause/Solutions

cDepending on the type of digital camera used, 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.

cWhen the image is displayed as the mark shown on the left, it is a small image. The printing quality is rough due to this small image size.

cChange the image size setting of the digital camera you are using.

cAn enlarged image, depending on its image size, will be printed with deteriorated picture quality.

Digital Photo Printer -DPP-FP50_GB_UC2/CED/CEK/AU_ 2-599-949-11(1)

Symptom

The printed pictures are inferior in quality.

Check

Did you allow dust to get on the print cartridge?

Did you allow dust or finger prints to get on the printed surface?

Did you use used print paper?

Did you shoot an image in the RAW file format?

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 Wipe the plastic part of the print cartridge and remove dust.

c Do not touch the printing surface (the shiny-side with no imprint). Fingerprints on the printing surface may result in imperfect printing.

c Do not print on used print paper. Printing an image twice on the same paper will not make the printed image thicker.

c When you shoot an image in the RAW file format, a highly-compressed JPEG file may be also recorded. As the printer does not support the RAW file format, it may use the JPEG file to print an image. A RAW file can be printed from a PC. For details, see the operating instructions of the digital camera you are using.

What is a RAW file? A RAW file is an original image file format to save uncompressed, unprocessed still image data captured from a digital camera.

For whether or not a digital camera can capture an image in the RAW file format, see the operating instructions of the digital camera.

c An 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 System 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 differs from those printed.

The printed image differs when an image is directly printed from the memory card or an external device inserted into the printers slot and when it is printed via a PC.

The date cannot be printed.

The date is printed unintentionally.

Check

Is Date Print set to On?

Does the image support DCF?

Is Date Print set to Off?

Was the date saved with the image when it was shot with the digital camera?

Cause/Solutions

c Because of differences in the phosphor method or profiles of a TV monitor, please regard the image being displayed on the screen as just a reference. To adjust picture quality, do either of the following:

Menu - Set Up - Color Setting (.page 50)

Menu-Edit-Adjust (.page 33)

cBecause of the differences in the printers internal processing and PC software processing, the printed images will be different.

cSet Date Print in the Set Up menu to On. (.page 50)

cThe Date Print function of this unit supports an image that is compatible with the DCF standards.

cSet Date Print in the Set Up menu to On. (.page 50)

Symptom

The image cannot be printed fully in the print range.

Even if I set Borders to No, the image is printed with borders on both sides.

Only part of an image is printed.

The image is stretched horizontally when printed.

There are white lines or dots on the printed pictures.

Cause/Solutions

c Set Borders to No by selecting Menu - Set Up - Borders. (.page 49)

c Depending 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.

c When you edit and save an image in the postcard or 3.5 x 5 inch size, it is saved as a print image including the blank areas. Even if you print it with Borders set to No, you cannot eliminate the borders on both sides of a print. To print without borders, edit and save an image with Borders set to No. (.page 49)

c Set Borders to Yes to print the whole area of an image. (.page 49)

c Depending 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.

c The print head or paper path may be soiled. Use the supplied cleaning cartridge to clean the head and path. (.page 89)

Check

Did you set Borders in the Set Up menu to Yes?

Is the aspect ratio of the image correct?

Is the image edited and saved with Borders set to Yes?

Did you set Borders in the Set Up menu to Yes?

Did you rotate the image or add other process?

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 adapter Be sure to use the AC adapter supplied

with the printer. Do not use other AC adapters, as this may cause a malfunction.

Do not use the supplied AC adapter 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 disconnected or 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, AC adapter, the memory card, or an external device 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.

On restrictions on duplication If duplicating documents with the printer, pay special attention to the following: 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.

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.

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)

The standard specified by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association) to maintain the file exchangeability and compatibilities between digital cameras and related products.

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.

Mass Storage System

Various types devices for storing large amounts of data, including all types of disk drives (floppy disks, hard disks, optical disks) or tape media. Unlike flash memory, mass storage devices retain data even when the PC or unit is turned off.

Memory Stick/CompactFlash card/SD card

Compact, light, removable storage media. For details see pages 92 to 95.

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.

Thumbnails

Miniature images for representing the original images that are stored in the image files taken by a digital camera. The printer uses thumbnails in the image list.
