Using FotoFUN! for Windows 16
2.
Open the image file you wish to print. For best results, use
only 24-bit color, 203 dpi (or higher) images and print at an
image size of approximately 100%. Over-enlarging an
image or printing lower dpi images will cause your photos
to appear jaggy or pixelized when printed. Likewise,
printing file formats with less than 16.7 million colors (such
as 256 color GIF files) will cause your photos to appear
rough or grainy when printed.
3.
If you intend to print a borderless print, you must also
make sure that your image size is just a bit larger than
4Ó x 6Ó. This will assure that your image will bleed off the
sides of the printed sheet. Use the programÕs cropping and
resizing options to properly size your images. Remember,
however, not to increase or decrease the size of your image
too much.
4.
Once you are ready to print, select Print Setup from the
programÕs File menu to verify that the printer driver
settings are correct for your image. Once the driver is set,
select Print from the programÕs File menu.
5.
The FotoFUN! printer driver will then begin to process the
image. Depending upon the size of the image and the
processing speed of your computer, processing time can
take from several seconds to a few minutes.
6.
Once processing is complete, you will hear the printerÕs
feed rollers begin to turn. At this time, insert a sheet of
FotoFUN! paper into the printer with the glossy print side
facing down.
Remember, you have about 20 seconds to
insert the paper. Insert the paper until it pauses. After the
pause, FotoFUN! will automatically feed the paper and
print the first color (yellow) followed by the two remaining
colors (magenta and cyan). The clear overlay panel will
print last. Wait until all the panels have printed and until
the sheet is fully ejected before trying to pull it out of the
printer.
7.
If everything looks good, congratulations! YouÕve
successfully set up and printed with your new FotoFUN!
Digital Color Photo Printer.
