Printing images with the date (SELPHY CP910)

Content Id: 8201959600


Solution

You can add camera shooting dates when you print. Insert a commercially available memory card or USB memory into your printer, and then print images that are saved on the card or memory.

Caution

To select items that are displayed on the printer's [LCD monitor], press the Left, Right, Up, or Down buttons. To confirm the selected items, press the ⋖OK⋗ button.

Caution

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.
Images may not be displayed or printed correctly depending on their size or if they have been edited on a computer.
When printing images take with a cell phone, the image may not be printed or displayed correctly depending on the cell phone settings at the time the image was captured.
JPEG images conforming to the Exif standard can be printed with SELPHY.
For computer or photo software instructions, refer to the relevant user manual.

In this section, an SD memory card is used as an example to explain the operations. You can print images by performing the same operations with a memory card other than an SD memory card or USB memory.

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


Insert the memory card with the label face-up.

2. The following screen appears on the printer's [LCD monitor].

3. Press the MENU button ⋖⋗, and then select [Change Settings].

4. The following screen appears. You can set [Date] or [Borders] in this screen. Press the ⋖ ⋗ button after making settings.

5. Press the ⋖⋗ button to return to the image-selection screen.

6. The following screen appears.

When you select [Date] and [Borders], make sure that these settings are shown with icons on the LCD monitor's right hand side.

[Borders, Page Layout]

[Print Finish]

[Brightness]

[My Colors]

[Date]

[Image Optimize]

[Smooth Skin]

[Correct Red-Eye]

Caution

If () is shown below an icon, the setting is [Off], and if an icon is grayed out, the setting is not available.

e.g., [Date]

() [Date] [On]

() [Date] [Off]

() [Date] Cannot be set.*

*Depending on the layout, imprinting the date may not be possible.

7. Specify the number of copies for printing.

Number of copies of the displayed image. (Select the image you want to print, and then press the () buttons to specify the number of copies to make.)

Total number of prints. (Number of sheets required.)

Press the ⋖⋗ button, and printing will start.

8. The finished image will look like the one shown below. (It will differ depending on the type of paper.)

In the following example, the [4-up] layout is set for an [L size] sheet, and 3 is selected for the number of prints. (In this case, the number indicated in of step 7 would be 3.)

Caution

To prevent two instances of the date on images already labeled by the camera, select [ Off].

Caution

Turning off SELPHY will restore the default setting of [ Off].
The date added to prints cannot be changed, because it is the date assigned by the camera when the photos were taken.
To change how the date displays, adjust [Date Format]

 mm/dd/yyyy (default), dd/mm/yyyy, or yyyy/mm/dd

Dates are not printed when [Page Layout] is set to [ Index] or [ Shuffle].
