1.5.6 Trimming Function

A trimming function is provided as a means of coordinating photo data with the types
of photo frames handled by this unit. This function is always activated so that printing
photo data is in shapes that fit these photo frames.
This function is described briefly below.
The printed photo frame and the photo to be printed are matched in length along one
side and the photo is resized along the perpendicular side to fit the frame on that side.
Any part of the photo that does not fit within the photo frame is trimmed away (not
printed).
The image below shows an example in which the photo data is aligned vertically
with the photo frame.
These parts are
trimmed.
The image below shows an example in which the photo data is aligned
horizontally with the photo frame.
These parts are trimmed.

1.5.7 Assignment Rules for Photo Frame Numbers and
Rotation
The rules concerning photo frame numbers that are referred when assigning photos are
described below. The numbers shown in each diagram and photo frame below indicate
the photo frame numbers used for various types of layout.
The direction of the number shown in each photo frame matches the direction of the
printed photo to which the horizontal photo data was allocated. When there are more
pixels vertically than horizontally, the vertical photo data is allocated instead, and the
number shown in the figure below is then rotated 90° before being printed. In Index
printing mode, the numbers are printed as they are shown below, regardless of the
shape of the photo data.
However, when the photo data has an equal number of pixels vertically and
horizontally the photos are printed without rotation, regardless of the layout.
(Note: the vertical photo data refers to when the photo data file itself is set for a vertical
(portrait) orientation. Photo data is defined as the vertical photo data if it is taken by a
digital camera with a portrait position detecting function.)
