Printing from other
application software
You can use a commercially-available
application software to print an image
from the DPP-FP35.  Select “DPP-FP35” in
the print dialog box and select the print
paper size in the page setup dialog box.
For details in print settings, see steps 5 and
6 on pages 28 and 29.
On “borderless” setting in the “Paper
size” section
When using an application other than the
Picture Motion Browser, an image might
be printed with borders even if you select
borderless print in the “Paper size” section
of the “Paper/Output” tab in the “Sony
DPP-FP35 Properties” dialog box.
When you select the borderless print
option, the printing range information for
borderless print will be supplied to the
application.  Some applications, however,
may arrange and print the image with
borders within the specified range.
If this occurs, do either of the following to
print an image without borders:
•When you can set print range with an
application, set an image to be printed
fully in the print range. For example,
select “Full page photo print” or a
similar option.
•Set a larger value in the “Enlarge/
Reduce” text box in the “Paper/Output”
tab of the “Sony DPP-FP35 Properties”
dialog box.
If borders remain on the right and
bottom sides of a printed image even
after you set a larger value, check
“Upper left reference”.
In either case, make sure to display and
check the preview image before printing.
To stop printing
1Double-click on the printer icon
on the taskbar, and open the
“Print” dialog box.
2Click the document name that
you want to cancel printing of
and then click “Cancel” from the
“Document” menu.
The dialog box used for confirming
the deletion is displayed.
3Click “Yes.”
The printing job is canceled.
Note
Do not cancel the printing job during the
printing process, which may cause a paper jam.

Symptom
Paper does not
feed.
The print paper
emerges during
printing in
process.
Printing
When you place print paper in the paper tray and start printing, paper feeding
error may occur:  the printer does not feed paper; the printer may feed
overlapped paper; or the printer may feed paper diagonally.  If this occurs, check
the items listed in the following symptom “Paper does not feed”.
Check
•Is the print paper properly
set in the paper tray?
•Are you using print paper
that was not designed for
the printer?
•Is the print paper jammed?
•Is it in the middle of the
printing process?Cause/Solutions
cIf print paper is not properly loaded, the
printer may develop trouble.  Check the
following:
•Is the correct set of print paper and
print cartridge loaded? (.page 11)
•Is the print paper inserted in the
correct direction?
• Did you place more than 20 sheets of
print paper in the paper tray?
(.page 14)
•Did you riffle the print paper
thoroughly?
•Did you bend or fold the print paper
before printing?
cIf print paper runs out during
continuous printing or if you print with
no print paper in the paper tray, the
printer’s ERROR indicator lights. Feed
the print paper without turning off the
power and resume printing.
cUse print paper designed for the printer.
If you use incompatible print paper, the
printer may develop trouble.  (.page
11)
cWhen the printer cannot feed the print
paper, the ERROR indicator flashes
rapidly. Remove the paper tray and
check paper jam. (.page 42)
cThe print paper may emerge a few times
during printing.  Do not touch nor pull
the emerged paper.  Wait for the print
paper to be fully ejected after printing
ends. As the print paper emerges from
the rear a few times during printing,
make sure to spare enough space behind
the printer during printing.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
The printed
pictures are
inferior in
quality.
Printed results
Check
•Did you print preview
image data?
•Did you allow dust to get
on the print cartridge?
•Did you allow dust or
finger prints to get on the
printed surface?
•Did you use used print
paper?
•Did you use an AdobeRGB-
compliant digital camera,
not compatible with the
DCF 2.0, to shoot an image
in the AdobeRGB mode?Cause/Solutions
c When a digital camera saves an image,  a
preview image may be saved along with
the primary images.  The printed quality
of the preview images will not be as
good as the primary images.  Note that if
you delete the preview images, the data
for the primary images may be
damaged.
cWipe the plastic part of the print
cartridge and remove dust.
cDo not touch the printing surface (the
shiny-side with no imprint). Fingerprints
on the printing surface may result in
imperfect printing.
cDo not print on used print paper.
Printing an image twice on the same
paper will not make the printed image
thicker. Doing so could result in
damages to the printer.
cAn AdobeRGB image file that supports
the DCF 2.0 will undergo color
corrections, but an AdobeRGB image file
that does not support the DCF 2.0 will be
printed in vague colors without color
corrections.
What is an AdobeRGB?
An AdobeRGB is a color space that the
Adobe Systems Incorporated employs
and uses as the default setting for image
processing software including the Adobe
Photoshop.  The AdobeRGB, an optional
color space extended with the DCF 2.0,
determines the color ranges widely used
in printing industry.
For whether or not a digital camera
supports the AdobeRGB, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera.

Symptom
The picture
quality and
colors of the
image previewed
on the screen  of
the digital
camera differ
from those
printed.
The image
cannot be printed
fully in the print
range.
The image is
stretched
horizontally
when printed.
The image is
printed at an
angle.
Check
•Is the aspect ratio of the
image correct?
•Did you rotate the image
or add other process?
•Is the paper tray inserted
properly?Cause/Solutions
cBecause of differences in the phosphor
method or profiles of a monitor or LCD
screen, please regard the image being
displayed on the screen as just a
reference.
cDepending on the type of digital camera
used, the aspect ratio of the recorded
image differs, so the image may not be
printed covering the entire printable
area.
cDepending on the type of digital camera
used, the image may be stretched
vertically if it has been rotated or
processed using your digital camera.
This is not because of trouble with the
printer, but because the image was
rewritten with your digital camera.
cRe-insert the paper tray firmly straight
in to the end.
