What To Know
Printing 2x6 Photo Templates

WhatToKnow-Printing2x6PhotoTemplates.png

The printer is set up to print 4x6 images and Photo Templates by default. To print different sizes, the media size will need to be adjusted within the printer’s settings.

You can change the print media size by following these steps.

To print 2x6 Photo Templates:

Note: The DNP DS620A does not support printing single 2x6 Photo Templates.

The 2x6*2 setting allows the printer to print two copies of the Photo Template on one 4x6 piece of paper and cuts it into two 2x6 strips.

What To Know 
Advanced Print Settings

The Advanced Printing Settings (APS) provide greater control over how the Fiesta Software prints Photo captures and Photo Templates.

APS controls two aspects of the print out:

  • Scale: the size of the border around the printed image
  • Offset: the alignment of the image printed

These settings can be adjusted if the size of the image or alignment on the print out is not coming out as expected.

IMPORTANT: The Advanced Printing Settings do not affect digital shares, and only change how the images are printed.
