Printing Wirelessly From a Bluetooth 
Device
To send and print photos wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as digital 
still cameras, digital video cameras, PDAs, mobile phones, and computers, you can 
use the optional Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter, available from Epson.
The Epson Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter (part# C12C824142) is available from 
your local retailer or the Epson Store
SM at (800) 873-7766, or you can visit our web 
site at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 
for dealer referral. 
Note: While PictureMate complies with the Bluetooth specification, it is not 
guaranteed to work with all devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. 
The communication range of this product is approximately 33 feet (10 meters); 
however, this may vary depending on conditions, including obstacles between devices, 
signal quality, magnetic fields, static electricity and electromagnetic interference, 
software, operating system, reception sensitivity, and antenna performance. 
The following profiles are available: Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), Hardcopy Cable 
Replacement Profile (HCRP), and Object Push Profile (OPP). 
Caution: Do not remove the adapter while it is communicating with another 
device or while PictureMate is printing (while the blue light is flashing). Doing so 
may cause PictureMate to malfunction.

Option Settings Description
BT Device Name PictureMate-(number)
(Default = 0) If multiple Bluetooth-enabled 
printers are in the same 
communication range, you can 
distinguish them by assigning 
each a unique number (from 0 
through 9). To make the Device 
Name Setting take effect, turn 
PictureMate off and then back on. 
BT Comm. Mode Discoverable  This mode allows 
Bluetooth-enabled devices to 
freely discover PictureMate and 
send print jobs. 
Not discoverable This mode prevents unknown 
devices from discovering the 
printer. To print in this mode, first 
search for PictureMate once in 
Discoverable mode. After your 
device has discovered 
PictureMate, it will subsequently 
be able to communicate with and 
print from it in this mode. 
Pairing (Bonding) This mode requires that a 
four-digit Passkey be entered into 
a device before it can 
communicate with and print from 
PictureMate. 
BT Encryption On/Off 
(Default = Off) Select On to encrypt 
communication. Encryption 
requires that a four-digit Passkey 
be entered into a device before it 
can communicate with and print 
from PictureMate.

Replacing the Photo Cartridge
Your PictureMate will let you know when the photo cartridge is low or expended. 
When the photo cartridge is low, it’s a good idea to get a new PictureMate Print Pack, 
which includes a new PictureMate Photo Cartridge (ink) and 100 sheets of 
PictureMate Photo Paper. Visit www.MyPictureMate.com for more information. 
When PictureMate’s photo cartridge is expended, you see this message on its LCD 
screen: 
Tip: If you see this message while printing, you can still replace the photo 
cartridge and continue the current print job. Just replace it without turning off and 
unplugging PictureMate.
You can check the ink level at any time (see Checking Your Cartridge Status (Ink 
Level)).
Caution: Do not refill the photo cartridge. This could result in damage to 
PictureMate from ink spills.
When the photo cartridge needs to be replaced and you are out of paper, see these
