INTRODUCTION (CONT.) Polaroid ColorShot film
The printer uses Polaroid ColorShot film to create instant color pictures featuring highly saturated, continuous-tone colors. Unlike other Polaroid film, this specially-made pack does not contain a battery. A finished print is automatically ejected from the printer. Each pack produces ten pictures. The picture size is approximately 4x4 inches (10.2 x 10.2 cm) with an image area of 3.6 x 2.9 in. (9.1 x 7.4 cm). The aspect ratio is approximately 6:5. Images with a resolution of 580 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) with 24-bit color resolution (8 bits each for R, G and B) are printed directly.

PRINTING (CONT.) Using the preview
Important: What you see on the preview is what you will get on the print.
PRINTING THE FULL IMAGE The default setting prints the full image, which may result in borders on the top and bottom or on the sides, depending on the aspect ratio of the image. ZOOMING AND SCROLLING You can zoom in on the image with the magnifier tool and use the scroll bars to crop the image to your liking. A zoom out tool is provided to return the image to the original size.
The Preview screen includes some tools to resize/crop the image. For best results, however, you should resize your image in your imaging application. See Tips on resizing your image on page 18. FILM COUNTER In the toolbar, the preview screen also displays the number of pictures you have left in the current film pack. It counts down from ten to one, and resets automatically when you load a new pack of film.

THE TOOL BAR Printer icon: Click to start printing. Plus magnifying glass (zoom-in tool): Multiple-click to make the image larger, in small increments. Minus magnifying glass (zoomout tool): Multiple-click to undo a zoom in. Click the Cancel icon to exit without printing.
Tips on resizing your image
If your image is a horizontal scene, choose Landscape orientation on the Graphics tab for a better fit. If your image is a vertical scene, choose Portrait orientation on the Graphics tab for a better fit. If your image does not have the correct proportions for the ColorShot film (even after the appropriate orientation has been selected), you can reproduce the entire image with borders, or crop the image to fit. See the following illustrations.
LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION You can enlarge your image and select a crop by using the scroll bars in the ColorShot Print Preview Screen. For the best control over image size, however, we recommend that you resize your image in your imaging application before printing. In Adobe Photoshop (and other applications that allow you to specify image size in dots-per-inch and pixels), set your image to 580 x 480 pixels (3.625 x 3.0 in.) and to 160 dpi. In MGI PhotoSuite and other applications that do not allow you to specify your image size in terms of dpi and pixels, use the Fit To Page or Size To Fit option.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Cleaning the printer
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Do not use aromatic solvents such as acetone, MEK, strong detergent solutions, or abrasives of any sort.
Loading a partially used pack
2 Turn the rollers with one hand. With the other hand, use a clean, lint-free tissue to wipe the full length of the steel rollers located just inside the door. Use a damp cloth if necessary, then wipe the rollers dry. If you load a partially used pack, the printer assumes a full pack is loaded and the software gives you an incorrect picture count. Keep track of the number of exposures manually.
Note: The top frame acts as a film cover. It will be ejected when you initiate your first print command.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Increasing printer performance
To optimize speed and performance, try the following:
Increase the amount of RAM in your

computer.

Increase the available hard disk space. Decrease the size of your image files,
if possible (the larger the file, the longer it takes to print).
Close other applications and documents that are open while you are trying to print.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Picture and printer problems
Problem Print is too dark. Solution Intensity may be set too low. Increase intensity in the Graphics tab of the Properties dialog box, in the print driver. Your original may be dark. Try lightening it in a photo-editing application, or try applying IQA, which is on the Device Options tab of the Properties dialog box, in the print driver. Print is not what you expected (in color, brightness, or some other imaging characteristic). Print out the sample images provided on the Polaroid ColorShot CD ROM for comparison; see Printing test images on page 31 for details.
The picture has a blue tint. The film may be too cold. Let the pack warm up to room temperature before using, if it has been refrigerated or stored in a cold environment. Film should be between 55 and 95oF (13 and 35oC) for best results. Print rollers are dirty. See page 25 for details on cleaning them. Check your film packaging for details on how to return defective film. You loaded a partial pack. The top picture acts as a film cover to protect the other frames from exposure, and it is ejected at the first print command.
Print has a large spot or repeated spots Print has an area that did not develop Two prints came out one after the other, and the first one is all gray.
Some of the edges of the image are
cropped off in the picture, or The print has borders you did not expect, or The printer creates multiple partial prints for one image (tiling).
Resize the image in an image-editing application. See also Tips on resizing your image on page 18. Be sure to check Using Preview on the Graphics tab to preview what will appear in the print before it is printed. This is normal while printing. It should stop flashing when printing is done. Check the video accelerator setting; see the Installation Guide for details. If problem persists, call Polaroid Technical Support; see page 23. Loading a partially used pack or opening the film tray results in an inaccurate film count. The counter resets when you load a new film pack.

The green power light is blinking. Imaging application cannot communicate with the print driver (Print dialog box or preview screen does not appear). The film counter in the preview window is not accurate.

If you are having a problem printing from your imaging application or you are getting unexpected results with your own images, check the settings in your imaging application.
Your system or hub may have several USB ports. If you connect the printer into a port other than the one used at original installation, the system prompts you to reinstall the software. If this happens, click cancel at the prompt to reinstall, and plug the printer into the previously used port. Alternatively, you can reinstall the software and specify the new USB port when prompted. Follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall the software.
