What is the JPEG printing and how can I use it?

JPEG printing allows you to print .jpg format images without using the printer driver.

  • JPEG images can be printed using the mass storage mode.
  • The Object Push Profile (OPP) is used for printing via a Bluetooth® connection. (PJ-862/PJ-863/PJ-883)
  • This printer will convert a color JPEG image to a ‘Black & White’ image using a dithering process.
  • When sending a JPEG image that is already ‘Black & White', this dithering process may make your printed image fuzzy.
  • To improve the image quality, try to turn off any preprocessing of the JPEG image.

 

  • Only JPEG images can be printed.  (Limited to files with the .jpg extension.)
  • The maximum file size is 15.8 MB.
  • The maximum resolutions are as follows:
    PJ-822/PJ-862:
    Height x Width = 1600 x 2200 dots
    PJ-823/PJ-863/PJ-883:
    Height x Width = 2400 x 3300 dots
    If these limits are exceeded, the data received by the printer will be discarded and not printed.
  • 1 printed pixel = 1 dot.
  • This printer performs binary processing (simple binary) to print the image.
  • The image is printed with the height-to-width proportion of the received data.
     
  1. Confirm that the printer is turned off.
  2. Press the Feed button ( Feed ) and the Power button ( Power ) at the same time.
    The printer starts up in mass storage mode and the Power and Data indicators are lit in green (if the battery is used to power the printer, the Power indicator is lit in orange).
  3. Connect the computer or device to the printer using a USB cable.
    The printer’s mass storage area appears as a folder on the computer’s or device’s screen.

    If the mass storage area does not appear automatically, see the instructions for the operating system of your computer or mobile device for information about accessing the mass storage area.

  4. Drag and drop the file you want to copy to the mass storage area.
  5. Load paper and press the Power button.
    The commands in the command file are executed, and the Data indicator flashes in green.
  6. After the commands have been executed, the Data indicator turns off.
  7. To deactivate the mass storage mode, turn off the printer.
    The printer will start up in its normal operating mode.
