Printing from a commercially-
available application software
You can use a commercially-available
application software to print an image
from the DPP-FP60.  Select “DPP-FP60” as
“Printer” in the print dialog box, and
select the print paper size in the page
setup dialog box.  For details in print
settings, see steps 6 and 7 on pages 38 and
39.
On “Borderless Print” setting in the
“Printer Features”
When using an application other than the
Picture Motion Browser, an image might
be printed with borders even if you select
“ON” for the “Borderless Print” in the
“Printer Features” of the “Sony DPP-FP60
Advanced Options” dialog box.
When you select the borderless print
option, the printing range information for
borderless print will be supplied to the
application.  Some applications, however,
may arrange and print the image with
borders within the specified range.
If this occurs, do the following to print an
image without borders:
•When you can set print range with an
application, set an image to be printed
fully in the print range. For example,
select “Full page photo print” or a
similar option.
Orientation setting
Depending on the application software
you use, orientation may not change even
if you change portrait or landscape setting. With border/borderless setting of the
printer driver
When the application software you use
has border/borderless setting, we suggest
you select “ON” for the “Borderless Print”
in the “Printer Features” of the “Sony
DPP-FP60 Advanced Options” dialog box
as the printer driver setting.
Print quantity setting
Depending on the application software
you use, the print quantity setting of the
application you use may have priority
over the setting specified in the printer
driver dialog box.

Printing
Check
•Is the print paper properly
set in the paper tray?
• Does the ink ribbon or
print paper run out?
• Are you using print paper
that was not designed for
the printer?
• Is the print paper
jammed?
• Is it in the middle of the
printing process?
Cause/Solutions
cIf print paper is not properly loaded,
the printer may develop trouble.
(. Read This First)
Check the following:
• Insert the correct set of print paper
and ink ribbon.
• Load the print paper in the correct
direction in the tray.
• You can insert the maximum 20 sheets of print paper into the tray. If
the sheets exceeds 20, remove the
extra sheets.
• Riffle the print paper thoroughly
and insert them into the tray.
• Do not bend or fold the print paper
before printing, which  may  cause
malfunction with the printer.
c If an error message is displayed on the
screen, check the error message.
c Use print paper designed for the
printer.  If you use incompatible print
paper, the printer may develop
trouble.   ( .Read This First)

Symptom
The printed
pictures are
inferior in
quality.
Printed results
Check
•Did you print preview
image data?
• Did you print an image
whose size (width or
height) is smaller than
480 dots?
Is the image displayed as
follows?
•Did you use the Edit
menu to enlarge the
image?
• Do you allow dust to get
on the ink ribbon?
• Did you allow dust or
finger prints to get on the
printed surface?
• Did you use used print
paper or ink ribbon?
Cause/Solutions
cDepending on the type of digital
camera used, preview images may be
displayed along with the primary
images in the thumbnail list.  The
printed quality of the preview images
will not be as good as the primary
images.  Note that if you delete the
preview images, the data for the
primary images may be damaged.
c When the image is displayed as shown
on the left, it is a small image.  The
printing quality is rough due to this
small image size.
c Change the image size setting of the
digital camera you are using.
c An enlarged image, depending on its
image size, will be printed with
deteriorated picture quality.
c Wipe the plastic part of the ink ribbon
and remove dust.
c Do not touch the printing surface (the
shiny-side with no imprint).
Fingerprints on the printing surface
may result in imperfect printing.
c Do not print on used print paper. Or,
do not use the used ink ribbon to print
an image. Printing an image twice on
the same paper will not make the
printed image thicker.

•Did you shoot an image in
the RAW file format?
• Did you use an
AdobeRGB-compliant
digital camera, not
compatible with the DCF
2.0, to shoot an image in
the AdobeRGB mode?
Cause/Solutions
cWhen you shoot an image in the RAW
file format, a highly-compressed JPEG
file may be also recorded.  As the
printer does not support the RAW file
format, it may use the JPEG file to
print an image.  A RAW file can be
printed from a PC.  For details, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera you are using.
What is a RAW file?
A RAW file is an original image file
format to save uncompressed,
unprocessed still image data captured
from a digital camera.
For whether or not a digital camera
can capture an image in the RAW file
format, see the operating instructions
of the digital camera.
c An AdobeRGB image file that
supports the DCF 2.0 will undergo
color corrections, but an AdobeRGB
image file that does not support the
DCF 2.0 will be printed in vague
colors without color corrections.
What is an AdobeRGB?
An AdobeRGB is a color space that the
Adobe Systems Incorporated employs
and uses as the default setting for
image processing software including
the Adobe Photoshop.  The
AdobeRGB, an optional color space
extended with the DCF 2.0,
determines the color ranges widely
used in printing industry.
For whether or not a digital camera
supports the AdobeRGB, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
The picture
quality and
colors of the
image
previewed on
the screen
differs from
those printed.
The printed
image differs
when an image
is directly
printed from the
memory card or
an external
device inserted
into the printer’s
slot and when it
is printed via a
PC.
The date cannot
be printed.
The date is
printed
unintentionally.
Check
•Is “Date Print” set to
“On”?
• Does the image support
DCF?
• Is “Date Print” set to
“Off”?
• Was the date saved with
the image when it was
shot with the digital
camera?
Cause/Solutions
cBecause of differences in the phosphor
method or profiles of a LCD screen,
please regard the image being
displayed on the display as just a
reference.  To adjust picture quality,
do either of the following:
– Menu - Print setup - Color Setting
(. page 25)
– Menu-Edit-Adjust ( .page 12)
(The setting takes effect only on the
image being displayed.)
c Because of the differences in the
printer’s internal processing and PC
software processing, the printed
images will be different.
c Set “Date Print” in the Print setup
menu to “On”. ( .page 25)
c The  “Date Print” function of this unit
supports an image that is compatible
with the DCF standards.
c Set “Date Print” in the Print setup
menu to “Off”. ( .page 25)

the print range.
Borders
remains.
Even if
“Borders” is set
to “No”, the
image is printed
with borders on
both sides.
The whole area
of an image
cannot be
printed.
The image is
stretched
horizontally
when printed.
The image is
printed at an
angle.
There are white
lines or dots on
the printed
pictures.
Cause/Solutions
cSet “No” by selecting  Menu - Print
setup - Borders. ( .page 24)
c Depending on the type of digital
camera used, the aspect ratio of the
recorded image differs, so the image
may not be printed covering the entire
printable area.
c
When you edit and save an image with
“Borders”-“Yes”setting, it is saved as a
print image including the blank areas.
Even if you print it with “Borders”-
“No” setting, you cannot eliminate the
borders on both sides of a print.  To
print without borders, edit and save an
image with “Borders”-“No” setting.
( . page 24)
cYou can print the whole area of an
image by selecting “Borders” - “No”
in the Print setup menu. ( .page 24)
c Depending on the type of digital
camera used, the image may be
stretched vertically if it has been
rotated or processed using your
digital camera. This is not because of
trouble with the printer, but because
the image was rewritten with your
digital camera.
c Re-insert the paper tray firmly straight
in to the end.
c The print head or paper path may be
soiled.  Use the supplied cleaning
cartridge and sheet to clean the head
and path.
