PictureMate®Pal is your easy-to-use, personal photo

lab. Just insert a digital camera memory card and

you’re ready to print brilliant, long-lasting photos.

Because PictureMate Pal is light and portable, you can

print with it almost anywhere. Plus, your PictureMate

Pal photos are archival; generations from now your

PictureMate Pal prints will be as vibrant as they are

today.

A Quick Introduction to the Digital

Photography Process

With film cameras, the process was

simple; buy film, take pictures, leave

the film at the photo lab, and come

back later for your photos and

negatives. Since you had negatives,

you could take them back later if you

wanted reprints.

The digital process even simpler, and it gives you

complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on

the right.

1. Review and Delete

After taking your photos, review them on your digital

camera’s screen. Delete the photos you don’t want.

2. Print

Insert your camera’s memory

card in PictureMate Pal, choose

your photos, and print.

3. Save

To preserve your digital photo

files (just like film negatives),

save them to your computer.

Then you can reprint them any

time.

4. Clear the Memory Card

After you save your photo files, use your camera to

delete them from your memory card (or format your

memory card) so you have space for more photos.

Welcome!

Special Features

Printing with your PictureMate Pal becomes even

easier with these special features:

You can select all your photos for printing

by pressing Select All, or select just

the ones you want from the photo viewer

screen. (See page 9.)

If you have a PictBridge®- or USB DIRECT-

PRINT™-enabled camera, you can

connect it to PictureMate Pal and control

printing right from your camera. (See

page 30.)

If your camera supports DPOF™ (Digital

Print Order Format), you can pre-select

photos for printing while the memory

card is still in your camera. Then, when

you insert the card into PictureMate Pal,

you just select a layout and press

Print. (See page 10.)

If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA,

cell phone, or computer, you can send

photos wirelessly to PictureMate Pal for

printing using the optional Epson®

Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter. (See

page 31.)

Note: PictureMate Pal also supports the Exif Print image

enhancement standard that is built into many cameras.

Supported Photo Formats

Make sure your photos meet these requirements for

printing with PictureMate Pal (without a computer):

●JPEG files or uncompressed TIFF files only

●Resolutions ranging from 80 × 80 to

9200 × 9200 pixels

PictureMate Pal recognizes and prints the first 999

photos on your memory card.
