camera and print an image directly from your 
digital camera.
When printing in the PictBridge mode, make 
sure to remove memory card(s) and your 
computer from the printer in advance.
1Set your digital camera ready for 
printing with a PictBridge-compliant 
printer.
The required settings and operations that 
must be completed before connection 
differ depending on the digital camera. 
For details, see the operating instructions 
of your digital camera. (In case of Sony 
Cyber-shot digital camera, for example, 
select “PictBridge” mode for “USB 
Connect”.)

source (page 12).
3Press the 1 (on/standby) button to 
turn on the printer.
4Connect the PictBridge-compliant 
digital camera to the PictBridge/EXT

printer.
When you connect a PictBridge-compliant 
digital camera to the printer, “PictBridge” 
is displayed on the LCD display of the 
printer.

Notes
 If you replace an ink ribbon while the printer is 
connected to a PictBridge-compliant digital 
camera, an image may not be printed properly.  If 
this occurs, disconnect and then re-connect the 
digital camera.
 When printing via the PictBridge/EXT 
INTERFACE connector, an image will be printed 
according to the settings of the Print setup menu of 
the printer.  When you set the Date Print or 
Borders/Borderless options with your digital 
camera, the digital camera settings will have 
priority. If you select “Borderless” with the printer 
and “Borders” with your camera, “Borders (Pattern 
1)” will be used for printing.

USB adaptor to the PictBridge/EXT 
INTERFACE connector of your printer, you 
can print an image from a Bluetooth-compliant 
mobile phone, digital camera, or other device.
Notes
 Do not use the DPPA-BT1 outside the area you

regulations and may be subject to penalty.
 In some regions, the Sony DPPA-BT1 Bluetooth 
USB adaptor is not sold.
The DPP-FP65/FP75 supports the following 
profiles:
 BIP (Basic Imaging Profile)
 OPP (Object Push Profile)
For the profiles that your Bluetooth device 
supports, please refer to its manual.
What is a “Profile”?
A profile consists of the standards that enable 
Bluetooth wireless communication. There are 
several profiles available, depending on the 
purposes and product to be used. To make 
Bluetooth communication possible, the devices 
used in the communicated should support the 
same profile.
Compatible image file formats that can

memory card(s) from the printer in advance.
1Connect the printer to the AC power 
source.
2Press the 1 (on-standby) button to 
turn on the printer.
3Insert the Bluetooth adaptor into the 
PictBridge/EXT INTERFACE 
connector of your printer.
Note
If any device, other than the Bluetooth adaptor, 
such as a memory card, camera, PC, or other 
USB memory or a USB cable is connected to 
any of the memory card slots, the PictBridge/
EXT INTERFACE connector, or USB 
connecter of your printer, disconnect it from the 
printer and then connect the Bluetooth adaptor.

   Printing from a Bluetooth-compliant device
To select the printer from a Bluetooth-
compliant device, select “Sony DPP-FP65 
##”/“Sony DPP-FP75 ##”. (“##” stands 
for the two figures from the right of the 
address displayed in the LCD screen.:
When input of Passkey* is required
Input “0000”. You cannot change the 
Passkey with the printer.
* A Passkey is often referred to as a “pass

Notes
 Do not use the 
DPPA-BT1 outside the area you 
purchased it. Depending on the areas, the use of 
this product may violate the local radio wave 
regulations and may be subject to its penalty.
 The communication distance of the product may 
vary depending on the obstacles between the 
product (a human body, metal object, or wall) and 
the mobile phone or other device.
 The sensitivity of the Bluetooth communication 
may be affected in the following conditions:
– When there is an obstacle between the product 
and the mobile phone or other product such as a 
human body, metal object, or a wall.– Where a wireless LAN is established or a 
microwave oven is being used near-by, or other 
electromagnetic waves are emitted.
 Since a Bluetooth device and a wireless LAN 
(IEEE802.11b/g) device use the same frequency 
ranges, wave interference may occur when the 
product is used near a device equipped with a 
wireless LAN. This may cause deterioration in the 
communication speed and connection conditions.  
If this occurs, take the following measures:
– Keep a distance of at the least 10 m from a 
wireless LAN device when you connect the 
product to a mobile phone.
– Turn off the wireless LAN device in case you 
want to use the product closer than 10 m from 
the wireless LAN device.
 We can not guarantee that this product works with 
all devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless 
technology.
 Sony cannot assume any responsibility for any 
information leakage that may be caused in 
Bluetooth communications.
 Sony cannot accept responsibilities for any failure 
to satisfy the protection requirements resulting 
from a non-recommended modification or use of 
the product.
 For customer support information, please refer to 
the operating instructions of your printer.
P Caution
 Radio waves from a Bluetooth device may 
adversely affect the operation of electrical and 
medical devices, and could lead to accidents due to 
malfunctions.  Make sure to turn off the product 
and mobile phone and do not use this product in 
the following places:
– Inside medical facilities, trains, airplanes, gas 
stations or other places that may emit flammable 
gas.
– near automatic doors or fire alarms or other 
automatically controlled devices.
 Keep this product at least 22 cm away from cardiac 
pacemakers. Radio waves from this product may 
adversely affect the operation of cardiac 
pacemakers.
 Do not disassemble or modify this product. Doing 
so could result in injury, electric shock, or fire.

    Printing from a PC
Notes
 If a hub is used to connect the printer and your PC, 
or if two or more USB devices, including other 
printers, are connected to your PC, trouble may 
occur. If this occurs, simplify the connections 
between your PC and the printer.
 You cannot operate the printer from another USB 
device being used simultaneously.
 Do not remove the USB cable from or connect it to 
the printer during data communication or printing. 
The printer may not work properly.
 The printer does not support standby, sleep, and 
hibernation modes and restarting from those 
modes.  Do not allow the PC connected to the 
printer to switch to one of those modes during 
printing.If you do so, printing may be failed.
 When printing is failed, remove a USB cable and 
then connect it, or restart your computer. Then try 
printing again.
 If you pause a printing job in process, and resume 
printing after a while, printing may not be 
performed correctly.
 We cannot guarantee operations with all PCs, even 
though they may meet or exceed the system 
requirements.
 Picture Motion Browser supports DirectX 
technology and DirectX installation may be 
required.
DirectX is available on the CD-ROM.
 If the Picture Motion Browser is installed on a PC 
on which the Cyber-shot Viewer is already 
installed, the Cyber-shot Viewer will be 
overwritten and replaced by the Picture Motion 
Browser. The browsing folders once registered in 
the Cyber-shot Viewer will be automatically 
registered in the Picture Motion Browser. When 
using the Picture Motion Browser, you can view 
the folders easier than you can when using the 
Cyber-shot Viewer, as the registered folders are 
displayed by group when viewing folders. With its 
improved red-eye reduction adjustment and newly-
added tone curve adjustment, the Picture Motion 
Browser also offers more powerful editorial 
features. You can also use the software to write 
data onto an external memory card for it.
Follow the procedures below to install the 
driver.
