Print output
•
A scaling ratio used in printing depends on a printer model. To utilize the Real 10 printing, you must adjust (or
compensate) the scaling ratio by actually checking print output on your printer.
•
Only an image is printed. Other information such as a file name is not printed. The printer settings used (such as
paper type and size) are what have been set in the printer. See the instruction guide of the printer for details.
PictBridge standard
The PictBridge is an industrial standard defined by digital camera and printer manufactures for ensuring
interoperation between a digital camera and printer. This standard allows you to print an image on a digital camera
by directly sending it to a printer without requiring an intervening PC. See the official PictBridge site,
http://www.cipa.jp/pictbridge/, for details.
