Features of the 630PS

The layout of the unit is very simple, yet stylish. Attached to the left of the unit there is the controller (with keypad and LCD), to the right, there are the memory card slots. The paper tray is located at the front of the unit, and the top of this doubles up as the collation area. The rear of the unit comprises of the USB port, controller port, and the power socket... as well as the unusual paper exhaust. This exhaust is used to allow the paper to be passed back, allowing the paper to be printer on several times in one feed (4 passes, one for each colour + coating).

Rear / Front

The main feature of this particular model is the fact that the 630PS can print directly from a memory card, with no need to connect to a PC. There is a handheld controller attached to the printer for viewing and controlling the images on the memory card. The LCD is surprisingly sharp and allows you to view up to 4 images in thumbnail mode without a problem.

Controller Menu

The GUI was extremely user friendly, and has a large array of options. From the main menu you can choose "Photo", "ID Photo", "Index Print", "Sticker", "Quick Photo", "DPOF", "Print All", "Setup". These are all straight forward options which are easy to configure.

Enhance Option

Basic photo manipulation can be performed when viewing a full image. Most common options which allow simple cropping and colour adjustments exist, and work fairly well for the lack of a PC editing package.
