About Exif Print; About Your Software - Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer Basics Manual

With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific
printing options for each camera model. These options include:
■
Contrast, sharpness, and brightness
■
Gamma level, color space, and color saturation
■
Shadow point, highlight point, and color balance
The camera saves this information in each image file. Your printer—along with
EPSON Software
uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your
digital camera settings in JPEG files so your printer and application can use the data
to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information
such as shutter speed, metering, flash, exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the
JPEG image file. Your printer—along with EPSON Software Film Factory and the
P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop—uses the information to ensure the most
accurate image reproduction.

About Your Software

The printer software CD-ROM that came with your printer includes all the software
you need for printing. (You must have a CD-ROM or DVD drive installed on your
computer.)

Your printer driver runs your printer and lets you control how your documents
look. You can't use your printer without it.
Note: It's a good idea to check EPSON's support web site periodically for
possible updates to your printer driver. Visit http://support.epson.com and check
the section for your product to see if there is a new driver available, free of
charge, for downloading to your computer. Download instructions are posted for
your convenience.
