PictureMate®Deluxe Viewer Edition 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 photos are
archival; generations from now your PictureMate 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 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
a CD, flash drive, or 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 so you have
space for more photos.
Welcome!

your photos and see them on the
PictureMate screen before you print.

can connect the camera to PictureMate and control
printing right from your camera. (See page 31.)
If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell
phone, or computer, you can send photos
wirelessly to PictureMate for printing. You
just need the optional Epson®Bluetooth Photo Print
Adapter. (See page 32.)
If you want to print outdoors or in other
places without convenient electrical outlets,
you can buy the optional PictureMate battery.
(See page 40.)
Note: PictureMate also supports P.I.M. (PRINT Image
MatchingTM) and Exif Print image enhancement standards that
