From image capture to printing, all functions - including image size adjustments - can be performed easily from the digital camera. Just click the shutter button to capture image, review the image on the camera's LCD screen, and then press the PRINT button to effortlessly reproduce photo-quality prints.

Wizard based workflow

In just three easy steps the operator can be printing ID photos.

Capture the subject's head within the square on screen. Select the required ID photo template from the list.

Easy Exposure Level Control

If you are previewing an image before printing and wish to adjust its exposure, you can do so by pressing the up and down control buttons on the digital camera for retake.

Automatic Face Alignment*

If you capture an image that is not aligned correctly, the UPX-C300 can automatically adjust the face position so that it fits the frame properly. This automatic face alignment is achieved with the single press of a button.

* Under some circumstances, manual adjustment may be required.

Wireless Connectivity

The UPX-C300 system incorporates state-of-the-art Bluetooth™ wireless technology, which eliminates cumbersome cable connections between the camera and the printer. Imagine how easy Sony has made it - with no camera-to-printer cable connection required to transfer your images! Thanks to this wireless data transfer capability, the photo printer can be installed in more convenient locations away from the photo studio, such as at the cashier area.

Note: Wireless connectivity is available only between the UPX-C300 camera and the UPX-C300 printer, or between the UPX-C300 camera and the optional UP-DX100 digital photo printer. Other devices cannot be configured with this system.

Preset and Customizable Frame Format

The passport size photo format used by most major countries around the world is pre-installed in the digital camera for simple and accurate ID photo printing. Moreover, you can customize the frame format to suit other photo requirements - such as a driver's license - via the easy-to-use Frame Setting wizard. Up to five customized formats can be saved within the digital still camera.

Print Queue Function

The UPX-C300 offers a print queue function that enables you to store a number of captured images after preview and print them all together in one batch, rather than having to print each image as it is captured.

Print Quality Adjustment

The UPX-C300 is equipped with a print quality adjustment function that enables color, dark/light, gamma, and sharpness adjustments from the MENU function of the camera. A guide print function is also provided that helps you to achieve the ideal color reproduction. This function offers a guide print before adjusting print quality to compare it with the result of adjustment.

Color and B/W Printing

The system provides both color and black and white (B/W) printing for a variety of UPX-C300 passport/ID photo applications.

Language Support

The LCD menu of the UPX-C300 supports the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Japanese.

Multiple Printer Connection

To increase printing productivity, the UPX-C300 system can be configured wirelessly with up to three printers. This means you don't have to wait for one print to finish before printing another, and also reduces print pack reloading during busy periods to streamline the work flow process.
