Printing From Your Computer

When you print from your computer, you can edit, enhance, and organize your

photos using photo software such as Epson Easy Photo Print.

Before you start, make sure your PictureMate Pal software is installed and

PictureMate Pal is connected to your computer.

Also make sure you have loaded paper as described in Loading Paper. See Supported

Paper for details on the paper you should use.

To print, follow the instructions in these sections for your computer:

Tip: If your digital camera supports Exif Print technology, you can use it to ensure

the most accurate reproduction of your photographs.
