The Enhance setting, which is applied by default, improves your photos’ colors and increases contrast and sharpness. It may correct images that are too dark, too light, or backlit.

You can print photos wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled PDA, cell phone, or computer when you use the optional Epson Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter. The adapter (part# C12C824383) is available from your local reseller or Epson. (See Purchase Supplies and Accessories for details.)
Note: While PictureMate complies with the Bluetooth specification, it is not guaranteed to work with all devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. Make sure your photos meet the requirements in Photo Image File Requirements.
The communication range of the Epson Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter is approximately 33 feet (10 meters); however, this may vary depending on conditions, including obstacles between devices, signal quality, magnetic fields, static electricity and electromagnetic interference, software, operating system, reception sensitivity, and antenna performance.
Communication may also be affected when sharing wireless frequencies with equipment such as microwave ovens or cordless telephones.
The following profiles are available for the adapter: Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP), Basic Printing Profile (BPP), and Object Push Profile (OPP).

Caution: Do not connect or disconnect the Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter while it is communicating with your device or while PictureMate Dash is printing; this may cause PictureMate Dash to malfunction.
If necessary, use the PictureMate buttons to choose settings for Bluetooth wireless communication. You may need to enter a passkey for PictureMate or turn on encryption, depending on the Bluetooth-enabled device from which you print.
