Printing via Infrared Communication

You can print photos stored in your mobile phone or PDA via infrared communication.

When printing through infrared communication, also refer to the instruction manual of your mobile phone or PDA.

1 Prepare for printing.

(1)Turn on the printer.

See “Turning On/Off the Printer” on page 6.

(2)Load paper.

See “Loading Printing Paper” on page 8.

2 Set the print setting and layout.

See “Setting the Page Size, Media Type, and Layout When Printing from a Mobile Phone or a PDA” on page 25.

3 Start Infrared Communication.

(1)Place the mobile phone or PDA so that its infrared port (A) comes face to face to that of the printer (B) at a distance of less than approximately 8 inches / 20 cm (C).

Note

zThe effective angle of the IrDA Port of the printer is about 10 degrees from the central axis (D) in both vertical and horizontal directions.

zThe effective range of communication with the printer depends on the mobile phone or PDA you are using. For details, refer the manual of your mobile phone or PDA.

(B) IrDA Port of the printer(D)(A) Infrared Port(C)

(2)Select the photo to print and send the data to the printer using the infrared communication function of the mobile phone or PDA. Printing will start after receiving all data.

Note

zDo not place any obstacle between the infrared ports of the printer and mobile phone or PDA it will block data transmission.

zDuring printing, be careful not to interrupt infrared communication with the printer. If it is interrupted, send the data from the mobile phone or PDA again.

zDepending on your device, the print quality may be degraded due to the restriction on the infrared transfer capacity.

zWe recommend printing on sticker or credit card-sized paper when the print quality on other types of paper is not fine.

About transmittable data

zDue to security settings on the mobile phone or PDA, downloaded content or photos downloaded from an URL attached to an E-mail cannot be printed.

zVideo files cannot be printed.

zDepending on the size of a photo, it may take a while for this printer to start to print after starting the infrared communication.

zDepending on your device, data saved on a memory card may not be printed.

zPrinted quality and orientation (portrait or landscape) are determined automatically according to the shot photo size.

zDepending on the photo size shot on the mobile phone, the edges of the image may be cut off when performing borderless printing; the margin size may change when printing with borders.

zIf the photo file is over 1.8 MB in size, it may not be possible to send the file.
