Welcome!

Ever wonder what to do with all those photos you took with your digital camera? Instead of storing them on your computer or on a CD-ROM, you can create a personalized photo book that captures the family vacation, graduation day, or a child’s birthday. And photo books make a great gift for everyone, for any occasion.

The Epson StoryTeller™ kit includes everything you need to make your own photo book. It comes with a hardbound book, special glossy photo paper, panoramic sheets for your cover, and easy-to-use software. You can choose from six different book styles (themes), each with up to 20 pre-designed page layouts that make arranging your photos a breeze. And you can add your own captions and titles to make sure your photos tell your story.

This guide walks you through selecting and enhancing your photos, building and printing your photo book, and creating and printing a cover page. Finally, it shows you how to put your book together.

System RequirementsTo use the StoryTeller Publisher software, your system should have:

● Microsoft Windows® 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating system

● Pentium® III processor, 750 MHz or faster (Pentium IV processor, 1.3 GHz or faster recommended)

● At least 2.3GB available hard disk space

● 256MB RAM (512MB RAM recommended)

Print Your Cover

The steps you use to print the cover depend on the type of printer you have and whether you’re printing an 8 × 10-inch book or 5 × 7-inch book. Many Epson printers automatically choose the right settings, which makes printing fast and simple. Printers made by other manufacturers and some Epson printers require you to make the settings yourself in your printer software.

In addition, some non-Epson printers may not be able to print a full-length cover page. If this is true of your printer, you can print a front and back cover on your 8 × 10-inch or 5 × 7-inch StoryTeller paper.

Before you print the final cover page(s), follow the instructions in the next section to print a draft.

Printing a Reduced Size Color Draft of Your CoverFollow the instructions in this section to print a color proof of your cover on plain letter-size paper. The front cover, back cover, and flaps and spine will each print on a separate sheet of paper.

1 Load letter-size plain paper in your printer.

Note: See page 29 for instructions for your Epson printer, page 33 for instructions for your HP printer, and page 36 for instructions for other printers.

Epson Printers: Printing the Final Cover PageAll Epson printers can print a full-length cover page for both the 8 × 10-inch and 5 × 7-inch books. In addition, many Epson printers automatically choose the right print settings, so printing is easy.

Canon, Lexmark, and Other Printers: Printing Your Final Cover PageThe steps you follow to print your cover page depend on which printer you’re using and whether you’re printing a cover for an 8 × 10-inch book or 5 ×7-inch book. For example, with a Canon printer you can print a full-length cover for a 5 × 7-inch book, but not for an 8 ×10-inch book.

See your printer’s specifications for details. If your printer does not support 5.5 × 20.83-inch paper, you can use the two extra StoryTeller 5 × 7-inch sheets to create separate back and front covers for your 5 × 7-inch book. If your printer doesn’t support paper that is 28.73 inches long, you can use the extra 8 × 10-inch sheets to create back and front covers for your 8 × 10-inch book.

Problems?

Here are some troubleshooting tips if you have problems creating or printing your book pages and cover.

You can’t select the text you want to change.

● Make sure you position the pointer directly over the text before you click. When the text is selected, a green border appears around it in the preview area.

● You can’t select or edit text in Auto Book mode. Click Customize Book to add captions to your pages. See page 25 for instructions.

Your photos are turned or cut off incorrectly.

You can’t reposition or rotate your photos in Auto Book mode. Click Customize Book to resize, reposition, or rotate a photo. See page 23 for instructions.

You can’t make changes to a page in your preview area.

Make sure the page isn’t locked. (A icon appears in the lower right corner of the page layout.) If the page is locked, click the icon in the toolbar to the left of the page layout to unlock it.

You have too many page layouts in your preview area, and not enough photos to fill them.

● You can delete a page by selecting it in the preview area and clicking the icon below the preview area. See page 24 for details.

● Replace pages in the preview area with page layouts from the Page Layout area that hold fewer photos. If you want, you can use page layouts from different Book Styles. See page 20 for details.

Problems? 91

You don’t like one of the page layouts in the Customize Book window.

You can replace one page layout with another. Select the page layout you want in the Page Layout section and drag it over the page you want to replace in the preview area.

Your printer doesn’t have the recommended print settings.

Visit the StoryTeller web site at http://www.epson.com/storyteller for updated information about print settings.

Some photo pages print without images or text.

Make sure you filled all your pages with photos and text. Use the scrollbar on the right side of the Customize Book screen to move through all your page layouts. If you’re using Auto Book, click the Play button to view a slideshow of all the pages of your book.

You’ve made all the correct settings in your printer software, but the printout is the wrong size.

When you’re printing your book pages, make sure you use the StoryTeller Printer Setup button to access your printer software. When you’re printing your cover, make sure you use the StoryTeller Print Wizard to access the software. If you try to access your software to change your printer settings by clicking File > Print Setup, StoryTeller will overwrite the settings you make.

Your cover prints in reduced size on your cover page.

Look for an option like Reduce/Enlarge in your printer software. Make sure it’s not selected.

92 Problems?

The ink on your printed page is smeared.

Check your printer manual to make sure you’ve loaded the StoryTeller paper correctly. For Epson printers and other printers that load from the top, load it glossy side up. For HP printers and printers that load from the front, load it glossy side down.

Uninstalling the StoryTeller Software1 Do one of the following:

Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

Other Windows systems: Select Start > Settings > Control Panel. Then double-click the Change/Remove or Add/Remove icon.

2 Select Epson StoryTeller Publisher and click Change/Remove (or Add/Remove).

3 Follow the on-screen directions to remove the software.
