Appendix ●What you can do with the P-440 Digital Color Printer The P-440 Digital Color Printer enables you to load, select and print pictures directly from an xDPicture Card or a PC card without using a personal computer. The P-440 lets you first designate the printing mode and then designate the method for processing the printed pictures by operating the mode selector dial, enabling you to produce a wide variety of prints. You can even enjoy creating your own original prints.
◆STANDARD In this mode, you can select a single picture and print it out on an entire sheet of paper (single picture print), print out one picture or up to a maximum of 16 selected multiple pictures on an A4 sheet of paper or divide a picture up into a maximum of 6 prints on A5 wide paper. In addition, you can also print out pictures selected and set in “3. Picture Selection and Setting”.
◆PHOTO-ALBUM This mode is selected when you wish to print out pictures in the form of a photo album. You can also add a background or stamp to the paper or decorate pictures with a frame. (page 110) ◆PASSPORT In this mode, you can place one picture or different pictures for printing onto one sheet of paper. This mode is useful for printing a passport photo. (page 124) Tip • Paper types that can be used for PASSPORT printing are only A4 and A6 WIDE.
◆INDEX This mode is selected when you want to print out thumbnail images of all pictures recorded on a xDPicture Card or other type of memory card. This is convenient when you have not decided which pictures you want to print or when you want to obtain a list of image data. (page 129) Tip • The file name is printed on the print. Depending on the size of the index, the date and time is automatically printed as well.

●Introduction to Color Printing Difference Between RGB and CMY Have you ever tried comparing actual printed images and images displayed on a personal computer? Have you ever noticed the differences in their colors? Could this be a malfunction in the printer? The answer is probably no. This is due to different types of color generation systems used between printers and PCs.
●DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) DPOF refers to a format used by DPOF enabled digital cameras to record printing information on a memory card, such as the images to be printed or the number of prints. DPOF enables those images to be printed, or the number of prints to be designated with a digital camera that supports DPOF function, thereby eliminating the need to make the settings on the printer. Therefore, using a DPOF-compatible printer makes printing easy.
●Cleaning the Printer Although varying according to how much the printer is used, clean the printer when it appears that printing quality has decreased significantly. In addition, since the inside of the printer may be hot immediately after use, wait for a while after turning off the power before cleaning. 1 Turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord. Tip • Do not unplug the power cord with wet hands. Grasping the plug of the power cord with wet hands can lead to the risk of electrical shock.
3 Gently wipe the head with a cotton swab moistened with a small amount of alcohol. Caution • Be careful not to damage the thermal head. • Handle alcohol with care. (Alcohol is flammable. Turn off the printer and make sure the printer and thermal head have completely cooled before cleaning with Alcohol.) • Never touch the thermal head directly with your fingers. ●Replacing the Ink Ribbon Tips • Purchase an ink ribbon pack adequate for the paper size to be used, as shown below.
2 Remove the used ink ribbon. Disconnect both ends of the bobbins from the ink cassette. Tips • The ink cassette can be used repeatedly. Make sure not to discard the ink cassette. • Used ink ribbon (including the bobbins) are made of plastic. Dispose of these in accordance with the disposal procedures in your area. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 3 Install a new ink ribbon.
