❏
If you have a border on one side of your photo but
not the other, make sure the paper is placed in the
center of the paper feeder. Slide the edge guides
against the paper.
❏
If the subject of your photo is very close to the
edge of the image, you can change the amount of
cropping around the edge of the image for
Borderless printing by using Borderless
Expansion from the Setup menu. If you see a
white line around the edge of the print, select MID
or MAX.
The wrong photo is printed.
❏
If your camera supports DPOF, you can preselect
photos so PictureMate will print only the ones you
want. See "Printing Camera-Selected DPOF
Photos" on page 31.
❏
If your camera is PictBridge- or USB DP-enabled,
you can connect it to PictureMate and control
printing from your camera. See "Printing From a
PictBridge-Enabled Camera" on page 43.
