“index print”. When a memory card contains a lot of image data, this print mode can be very useful for cataloguing the many images.

A TIFF image cannot be printed.

The printing speed is slow.

The print is blurred or smudged.

The images in the index print are not in order by date.

The printed image is small.

The paper supply was depleted and more paper was inserted in the paper tray, but printing does not resume.

Cause Solution i The image is a 16-bit TIFF image that was saved using a computer’s image processing application.

* This printer cannot recognize TIFF images that do not conform to the DCF standard.

i The amount of image data is large.

* The higher the resolution and the lower the compression ratio, the more beautiful the prints that can be produced. However, when the amount of image data is large, it takes more time to read, and the start of printing is delayed.

i The paper used is not the specified paper.

* There is a paper jam.

i In very rare cases you may not be able to print an image even though it conforms to the DCF standard, or the printing may be distorted.

The images were edited on a computer.

The image printed has a resolution is 320 × 240 pixels or less.

The ink ribbon is depleted.

i When saving a TIFF image on your computer, specify an 8-bit TIFF file.

i Make the image resolution lower or the compression ratio higher.

i Use the specified paper.

i Change the conditions when photographing.

i Select borderless printing

(see page 42).

Not a malfunction. The dates of images that were edited on a computer are not recognized.

Not a malfunction. Images having a resolution of 320 ×
