PictureMate

Snap and Flash are your easy-to-use,

personal photo labs. Just insert a digital camera

memory card and you’re ready to print brilliant, long-

lasting photos. Because PictureMate is light and

portable, you can print whenever and wherever you

take pictures. Plus, your PictureMate prints will be as

brilliant and vibrant generations from now 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 is simple too, and it gives you

complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on

the right.

1. Review and Delete

After you finish 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, choose your

photos, and print.

3. Save

To preserve your digital photo files

(just like film negatives), save them to a CD, flash

drive, or your computer. Then you can reprint them

any time. (On PictureMate Flash, you can use the built-

in CD burner.)

4. Clear the Memory Card

After you save your photo files, use your camera to

delete them from your memory card so you have

space for more photos.

Welcome!

Special Features

Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier

with these special features:

From PictureMate’s photo viewer

screen, you can print all your photos

simply by choosing Select All and

pressing Print. Or you can select

just the ones you want. (See

page 8.)

You can crop photos right from

PictureMate—no computer required.

(See page 17.)

If your camera supports DPOF

(Digital Print Order Format), you can

pre-select which photos to print

while the memory card is still in your

camera. Then, when you insert the

card into PictureMate, it knows

which photos you chose. Just press

Print. (See page 13.)

If you have a PictBridge

- or USB DP

(USB Direct Print)-enabled camera, you

can connect the camera to PictureMate

and control printing right from your

camera. (See page 42.)

You can add decorative frames

(including Disney

character frames)

to your photos and see them on the

PictureMate screen before you print.

(See page 22.)

If you want to print outdoors or in other

places without convenient electrical

outlets, you can buy the optional

PictureMate battery. (See page 53.)

If you have a Bluetooth

-enabled PDA,

cell phone, or computer, you can send

photos wirelessly to PictureMate for

printing using the optional Epson

Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter. (See

page 43.)
