Previewing Before Printing
The format size of the paper is unique to a printer. Polaroid
recommends you preview all prints before printing. The ColorShot
print driver has a Preview window, as well as MGI PhotoSuite.
• There is a delay between selecting the Print function within an
imaging application and seeing the ColorShot Preview window.
The length of delay depends on your computer's speed and on
the size of the image file you are printing.
• If the ColorShot printer does not print, make sure you have not
minimized the Preview window.
• If you do not see the entire image in the Preview window, make
sure the margins are set to zero in Page Setup on the Preview
window.
Loading a Partially Used Pack
If you load a partially used pack of film keep in mind the following
points:
• The printer assumes a full pack is loaded, and the software gives
you an incorrect picture count. You will have to keep track of the
number of exposures manually.
• The top frame of a partially loaded pack of film acts as a film
cover. It is ejected when you initiate the first print command.
Printing Scanned Photographs
Be sure to scan photographs at the resolution and dimensions of the
output device.
• For the Polaroid ColorShot printer, the resolution is 160 dpi, for
3.625 inches by 3.0 inches.
• In your imaging application, check to make sure the aspect ratio
is maintained when you resize a scanned image; otherwise, the
image will be distorted.
Printing Digital Camera Photographs
If you have a choice of resolutions from a digital camera, select the
best quality, or the resolution that is closest to the ColorShot
resolution of 580 x 480.
