PictureMate CharmTM 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®is light and portable, you can
print whenever and wherever you take pictures. Plus,
your PictureMate prints will be as brilliant and vibrant
generations from now as they are today.
A Quick Introduction to
Digital Photography
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 is simple too, and it gives you
complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on
the right.
1. Review and Delete
After you finish 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, 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 photos, use your camera to delete
them from your card to make room for more photos.
Welcome!

Special Features
Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier
with these special features:
From PictureMate’s photo viewer
screen, you can view your photos
and press Print to print the ones
you want. Or you can select to print
all photos. (See page 11.)
If your camera supports DPOF
(Digital Print Order Format), you can
select which photos to print while
the memory card is still in your
camera. When you insert the card
into PictureMate, you just have to
press OK and Print.
(See page 15.)
If you have a PictBridge®-enabled
camera, you can connect the camera to
PictureMate and control printing right
from your camera. (See page 23.)
If you want to print outdoors or in other
places without convenient electrical
outlets, you can buy the optional
PictureMate battery. (See page 34.)
If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled
mobile device or computer, you can
send photos wirelessly to PictureMate
for printing using the optional Bluetooth
Photo Print Adapter. (See page 24.)
