This section explains how to install the

Please also refer to the operating instructions 
supplied with your PC for information on 
operating the PC.
Installation of the software is necessary only 
when you connect the printer to your PC for the 
first time.

The supplied CD-ROM contains the following 
software:
 Printer driver for the DPP-FP85/FP95: The

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.
Follow the procedures below to install the 
driver.
Notes

installing the driver.
 Please log on to Windows using a “Computer 
administrator” user account.
