PictureMate®Deluxe Viewer Edition 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 is light and

portable, you can print whenever and wherever you

take pictures. Plus, your PictureMate photos are

archival; generations from now your PictureMate 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 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.

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 the PictureMate photo

selection menu, you can print all

your photos by simply pressing

the Print button. Or you can

select just the ones you want.

(See page 10.)

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 OK, and then Print. (See page 16.)

You can add Disney®character frames to

your photos and see them on the

PictureMate screen before you print.

(See page 14.)

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 31.)

If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell

phone, or computer, you can send photos

wirelessly to PictureMate for printing. You

just need the optional Epson®Bluetooth Photo Print

Adapter. (See page 32.)

If you want to print outdoors or in other

places without convenient electrical outlets,

you can buy the optional PictureMate battery.

(See page 40.)

Note: PictureMate also supports P.I.M. (PRINT Image

MatchingTM) and Exif Print image enhancement standards that

are built into many cameras. To see if your camera is P.I.M.-

enabled, check www.printimagematching.com or see your

camera manual.
