This page is for the PRO-1 with firmware version 2.000 or later.
Check your PRO-1 firmware version while referring to [ How to upgrade the firmware ], and upgrade the firmware if necessary before going through this page.
With the upgraded firmware, you can perform the following:
- Printing in the color hue (in the PRO Mode) that looks like the one on the monitor
- Reducing the Fine Art Paper margin (from 35 mm to 30 mm)
- Printing on Canvas paper
CAUTION
The latest version of the printer driver needs to be installed.
With Mac OS X v10.4, the above new features are not available.
- Be sure to use the Disc Tray supplied with this printer. It has an "H" on the upper side.
- Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
- Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs unreadable.
- Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
- Remove any dirt from the Disc Tray before placing printable discs on the Disc Tray. Loading discs in a dirty Disc Tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
- After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
- Do not attach the Disc Tray while the printer is in operation.
- Do not remove the Disc Tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the printer, the Disc Tray, or the disc.
- Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the Disc Tray. The printer may not be able to recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the Disc Tray become dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
- The Disc Tray may become dirty if software other than Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
- Always use the supplied 3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
- Always close the Inner Cover after printing on printable discs.
