Caution

Operations may vary depending on your software application. For details on the operation, refer to the instruction manual of your application.
The screens used in this section are for printing with Windows Vista operating system Ultimate Edition (hereafter referred to as "Windows Vista").
When printing in grayscale, depending on an image, the printing troubles may occur on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or white streaks. In this case, we recommend printing on paper with top and bottom margins of 1.77 inches / 45 mm or more according to the direction of printing, using Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on the Setup CD-ROM or your page layout software application.

When using a page layout software application or the like, prepare paper whose longer side is at least 3.54 inches / 90 mm longer than the length of the image, then print it with top and bottom margins of 1.77 inches / 45 mm or more according to the direction of printing.
