4.3 Creating Hyperphotos (Augmented Reality)
The Lifeprint app utilizes Augmented Reality to display video content when a printed photo is viewed through the app. To create a Hyperphoto, select a video from your device or social media within the app, then choose a still frame to print. When the printed photo is scanned with the Lifeprint app, the embedded video will play.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Lifeprint printer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Printer Not Connecting: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the printer is charged and powered on. Restart both the printer and your smartphone, then attempt to re-pair.
- Paper Jams: If paper jams occur, carefully open the paper tray and gently remove any jammed paper. Ensure you are using genuine Lifeprint Zink paper and not overloading the tray (maximum 10 sheets).
