Print Capacity
Using four charged AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries allows you to print
about 24 photos successively. (When printing at 60% gray, at room
temperature with new batteries.)
Notes
• The actual number of images that can be printed depends on the images and the
ambient temperature during printing.
• Be sure to use four charged AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries when printing photos.
If the charge is low, you may not be able to print even one image.
Remaining Charge Indicator
When you are using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries to operate the DPP-MP1,
you can monitor the remaining charge of the batteries from the DPP-MP1
display (remaining charge indicator) as indicated below.
Display Meaning
u
The charge of the batteries is sufficient to print normally.
t
The charge of the batteries is only sufficient to print a few more
pictures. The power turns off when the charge is exhausted during
printing. To avoid this, we recommend that you recharge the batteries
before use.
e
The batteries are empty. Printing is not possible. Recharge the Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries or connect the AC adapter before printing.
Notes
• Use the remaining charge indicator to monitor the remaining charge of the Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries. The accuracy of the remaining charge indicator can be
affected by operating or environmental conditions.
• When the remaining charge indicator flashes, printing is not possible.
• Rechargeable batteries sometimes do not charge to full capacity when first purchased
or after long disuse, resulting in sub-optimal performance. If this occurs, please
recharge the batteries as soon as possible.
When the remaining charge indicator flashes
• Make sure that you are using batteries that are compatible with the DPP-
MP1. Batteries such as manganese dry or alkaline dry batteries are not
compatible with the DPP-MP1.
• When you use the DPP-MP1 in cold weather, make sure that the Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries are warm. If the batteries are cold, warm them with
your hands before use.
