PictureMate®Pal 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 Pal is light and portable, you can
print with it almost anywhere. Plus, your PictureMate
Pal photos are archival; generations from now your
PictureMate Pal 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 even simpler, and it gives you
complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on
the right.
1. Review and Delete
After 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 Pal, choose
your photos, and print.
3. Save
To preserve your digital photo
files (just like film negatives),
save them to 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 (or format your
memory card) so you have space for more photos.
Welcome!

Special Features
Printing with your PictureMate Pal becomes even
easier with these special features:
You can select all your photos for printing
by pressing Select All, or select just
the ones you want from the photo viewer
screen. (See page 9.)
If you have a PictBridge®- or USB DIRECT-
PRINT™-enabled camera, you can
connect it to PictureMate Pal and control
printing right from your camera. (See
page 30.)
If your camera supports DPOF™ (Digital
Print Order Format), you can pre-select
photos for printing while the memory
card is still in your camera. Then, when
you insert the card into PictureMate Pal,
you just select a layout and press
Print. (See page 10.)
If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA,
cell phone, or computer, you can send
photos wirelessly to PictureMate Pal for
printing using the optional Epson®
Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter. (See
page 31.)
Note: PictureMate Pal also supports the Exif Print image
enhancement standard that is built into many cameras.

Make sure your photos meet these requirements for
printing with PictureMate Pal (without a computer):
●JPEG files or uncompressed TIFF files only
●Resolutions ranging from 80 × 80 to
9200 × 9200 pixels
PictureMate Pal recognizes and prints the first 999
