1.3 After Installation...

The Companion Photo is automatically launched and its icon is displayed in the Dock.

1.4 Connecting the Printer to a USB Port

As soon as a printer is connected to a USB port, the Companion Photo control panel is displayed on the screen.

2 COMPANION PHOTO CONTROL PANEL

2.1 Control Panel Display

Notes:

• The Companion Photo control panel is displayed for approximately 10 seconds, following which it disappears if the printer is not in use.
• The control panel is displayed in the background if other programs are running. If necessary, the user's attention will be drawn by the Companion Photo icon "bouncing" in the Dock.

2.2 Meaning of the Icons

Current print status

Click on this icon to display the progress of the current print job.

Current error status of the printer

Click on this icon to display the current error status of the printer.

Information concerning the printer

Click on this icon to display a complete set of information concerning the printer.

Current status of the WiFi connection

Click on this icon to display the current status of the WiFi connection with the printer.

(See WiFi Configuration)

Note: a ToolTip is automatically displayed by holding the mouse pointer over each icon.

2.3 Status of the WiFi Connection

The WiFi icon in the Companion Photo control panel may display several statuses, depending on the status of the WiFi connection:

WiFi connection inactive & non-configurable

The WiFi connection cannot be configured and printing can only be performed via the USB link.

This status appears if the WiFi connection has never been tried and/or configured and if the printer is connected without the WiFi adapter.

WiFi connection incorrect & non-configurable

The printer is not connected in USB mode and the WiFi connection cannot be established, modified or configured. Printing cannot be performed.

This status is displayed when the printer is switched on with its WiFi adapter, but cannot be accessed in WiFi mode (configuration not performed or incorrect, or Airport disabled).

WiFi connection incorrect & configurable

The printer is connected to a USB port. The WiFi connection is incorrect, but can be configured. Printing can be performed via the USB connection.

This status is displayed when the printer is switched on with its WiFi adapter, but cannot be accessed in WiFi mode (configuration not performed or incorrect, or Airport disabled).

WiFi connection operational & non-configurable

The printer is not connected in USB mode, the WiFi connection is correctly established, but cannot be modified. Printing can be performed via the WiFi connection.

This is the "normal" status of a usable WiFi connection.

WiFi connection operational & configurable

The printer is connected to a USB port. The WiFi connection is established and can be modified if required. Printing can be performed via either connection.

This status is displayed when both connection modes are available.

3 WIFI CONFIGURATION

3.1 Wireless networks

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is simply a collection of two or more computers, printers and other devices linked by radio waves. It uses high-frequency airwaves (radio) to communicate information from one point to another.

To connect a computer or device to a wireless network, the computer or device must have a wireless network adapter. Your photo printer uses an external WIFI dongle that contains a wireless network adapter and radio. No cabling is necessary between networked devices to print, although a USB connection is temporarily necessary for setup and configuration of your photo printer.

There are two primary types of wireless communication modes :

Infrastructure (Access Point)

In an infrastructure network, multiple devices (including your photo printer) communicate through a central access point. The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices. An access point is usually an ADSL modem that has WiFi capabilities or it can be a device that you connect to your ADSL modem to share the internet access between several computers.

Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer)

In an ad-hoc network, your photo printer communicates with your computer directly, rather than through an access point. Ad-hoc mode is usually limited to simple, small wireless network.

Your photo printer supports infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless communication modes.

Note : If you have an access point, it is recommended to install in infrastructure mode by using the access point rather than installing in Ad-Hoc mode.

Wireless network settings

All of the devices on a wireless network must have similar wireless settings. When you add your photo printer to your wireless network, it must be configured to the same network name (SSID), wireless channel and wireless security WEP key (if used) as the rest of the devices on the network.

To install a WIFI printer and after having installed the Companion Photo Software as described in section 1.

3.2 Prior to Launching the Configuration Procedure

Ensure that:

1. The computer's Airport card is enabled.
2. The computer is close to an operational WiFi access point (for a connection in automatic mode).
3. You have the necessary access rights for the corresponding WiFi network.
4. The printer is connected via its USB lead and equipped with the WiFi adapter.
5. The Companion Photo Software has been installed as described in section 1.

To enable the Airport card, click on the Airport icon in the menu bar and choose the "Turn Airport On" option (see below).

If the computer is the right distance from an operational WiFi access point, it should appear by clicking again on the Airport icon in the menu bar.

Otherwise, the Airport icon is greyed out. Check the status of the WiFi access point, as well as your access rights.

3.3 WiFi Configuration mode possibilities

For your WIFI printers, two configuration mode are offered : automatic mode and manual mode.

Automatic mode

Use this mode if:

• You are using a WIFI network with an access point (Infrastructure mode)
• Your computer is correctly configured in order to interwork with your access point
• You do not use any WEP encryption capabilities on your wireless network

Manual mode

Use this mode in all other cases, especially if :

• You want to use your WIFI printer with a peer to peer network (ad Hoc mode)
• You are using WEP encryption capabilities on your wireless network (ad Hoc or infrastructure modes)

(1) Please note that WPA encryption capabilities are not supported by your photo printer wireless network adapter. If WPA encryption capabilities are activated on your wireless network, you have to inhibit them in order to use your photo printer on your wireless network.

3.4 WiFi Configuration: Automatic Mode Using

Important:

Prior to configuring the WiFi connection, ensure that the printer is connected via the USB lead and equipped with the WiFi adapter.

①Once the WIFI dongle is inserted on your printer, the two lights near the printer key are blinking during WIFI parameters settings.

Use the automatic mode if:

• You are using a WIFI network with an access point (Infrastructure mode)
• Your computer is correctly configured in order to interwork with your access point
• You do not use any WEP encryption capabilities on your wireless network

Display the Companion Photo control panel by selecting the printer in the menu bar

or by long-clicking (or right-clicking) on the Companion Photo icon in the Dock.

Then click on the WiFi icon and choose "Automatic" from the options proposed.

The Companion Photo launches the automatic procedure and then attempts a WiFi connection. Following configuration, the WiFi icon in the printer's control panel should be green.

The configuration settings of the WiFi connection can be displayed by choosing "Display configuration" in the Companion Photo control panel.

4 MONITORING PRINT JOBS

The control panel is automatically displayed in the background at the start of each print job and can be used to monitor the different phases step by step.

Preliminary phases:

• Loading of the Photo paper
  Preheating
• Data transfer (in WiFi connection mode only)

Note: the duration of the last two phases may vary according to the printer status and the density of the images to be printed.

Print phases of the three successive colours: Yellow, Cyan, Magenta.

Application phase of the protective coating
