      By adding a subtle texture to the surface of prints, you can create a less glossy finish.



      You can select a print finish from the options listed in the table below.

      IMPORTANT
      • Before printing images from a memory card or a USB memory, check to make sure that the printer is not connected to a camera or a computer.
      • For memory cards that require an adapter, always insert the card into the adapter before inserting the adapter into the card slot. If you mistakenly insert the memory card into the card slot without an adapter, you may not be able to remove the card from the printer.
      • For instructions, refer to the memory card or adapter user manual.
      • Use a memory card formatted with the device you shot the photos with. Images on cards formatted with a computer may not be recognized.
      • JPEG images conforming to the Exif standard can be printed with SELPHY.
      • Images may not be displayed or printed correctly depending on their size or if they have been edited on a computer.
      • For computer or photo software instructions, refer to the relevant user manual.

      In this section, example procedures are shown using an SD memory card. You can print images by performing the same operations with USB memory or a memory card other than an SD memory card.

      1. Turn on SELPHY and insert the memory card or USB flash drive.






      NOTE
      Confirm that the memory card is inserted with the label face-up.
