Polaroid ColorShot Parallel User’s Guide
Image File Size
For the best control over image size:
•Polaroid recommends that you resize your image in your imaging application before printing.
•When given a choice between .bmp, .tif, and .jpg image files, select .bmp over .tif, and .tif over .jpg. The compression is less in each case.
•If you must use .jpg, select the least compression or maximum quality.
•The Polaroid ColorShot printer does not print image files larger than 18MB.
Using Polaroid ColorShot Hardware and Software on Systems with Other Printers
In most instances, a standalone or network printer also will be connected to your computer. You should print a Polaroid ColorShot image file only when other printers are not printing.
Communication Errors
•If you encounter a Polaroid ColorShot Printer Communication error, make sure the cables are connected securely to the LPT port on the back of your computer and the ColorShot printer.
•If you encounter a Communications Port Not Supported error, the communications port that you selected is not supported by the ColorShot printer. You should select a different LPT port for your printer. You can change the port setting using the Details tab of the ColorShot Properties dialog box.
•In most instances, selecting the Retry button functions after most communication errors. However, on some occasions the jobs may be removed from the print queue.
Out of Memory Error
If you receive an Out of Memory error, the system is out of memory and cannot print. Close any other applications that you may have running and try printing again.
