Introduction
What the Digital Photo Printer
Can Do
High-quality Photo Printing
The sublimation printing process used by this
printer makes it possible to print images with fine
photographic quality.
Prints with no white border
The paper that is used for printing has
perforations near both edges that allow you to
tear off the blank strips of paper on each edge.
Laminate Patterns
Because laminate processing is performed while
photos are printed, the photos will not become
discolored over time. You can select from
among the following laminate options:
• Glossy: Produces a glossy print.
• Texture: Produces a textured print.
• Matte: Produces a matte print.
Compact, Thin, and Light Design
The printer itself is thin and the size of an A4
sheet. The printer can operate either in a vertical
position or in a horizontal position. The printer
weighs only 2.7kg, making it light and easy to
handle.
Paper Jams Can Be Cleared Easily
If the paper jams, it can be easily cleared simply
by removing the cover.

list.

materials in case it is necessary to transport or
ship the printer.
• When shipping the printer, remove the ink
cartridge and the paper supply/eject tray from
the printer.

Requirements
Printing processing is performed faster when
there is more memory and hard disk space
available. Therefore, we recommend allocating
as much memory and hard disk space as possible.
The following environment is required in order to
use the UP-DP10.
When using a Windows computer
<Requirements in order to connect to a
USB port:
• A personal computer on which Microsoft
Windows 98 runs normally
• At least 32MB of RAM
• At least 30MB of hard disk space
• A USB port*
*Connection requires a USB cable with a
male type A connector and a male type B
connector. (Refer to the illustration
elsewhere on this page.)
<Requirements in order to connect to a
printer port:
• A personal computer on which Microsoft
Windows 98 or Windows 95 runs normally
• At least 32MB of RAM
• At least 30MB of hard disk space
• A printer port*
*Please see the user's manual provided with
your computer for the appropriate type of
printer cable.
Note
When using device driver
(Windows\system\lpt.vxd) version 4.00.953
in Windows 95, normal printing might be
impossible. In this event, obtain the most
recent driver from your Windows 95
distributor.
When using a Macintosh
• A Power Macintosh computer running Mac OS
8.6 or later, and which is equipped with a USB
port as a standard feature
• ColorSync2.5 or later
• At least 64MB of RAM
• At least 30MB of hard disk space

Connecting the Printer to a
Computer
Notes
• Before connecting the printer to a computer, be
certain to first turn off the power for the printer,
the computer, the monitor, etc.
• Read the operating manual for the personal
computer carefully.
• When connecting to a printer port, we
recommend using a shielded printer cable not
more than 2m long and with a double-ended
ferrite core.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connectors
all of the way when making the connections.
• The driver provided with this printer does not
support usage through a network.
• Proper operation can not be assured when USB
connection is made through a hub.
• The printer cannot be connected using both a
USB cable and a parallel cable. Connect it using
one type of cable or the other.
When connecting to a USB port
Note
Only the USB port can be used for connection to
a Macintosh computer. (This printer cannot be
used with a Macintosh that does not have a USB
port as a standard feature.)

Installing the Printer Driver
WithWindows 98
Install the printer driver that is contained in the
CD-ROM that is provided with the printer. The
“printer driver” is the software that allows you to
print on the UP-DP10, using the Print function of
typical application software.
Before installing the printer driver, turn the
computer and the printer off, and then connect
the printer to the computer.
When the Printer Is Connected by a
USB Cable

computer on. Once Windows 98 starts up,
the “Add New Hardware Wizard” window
