You be sending a 2400ppi 1x1.5 inch image to the printer. You need to change to a 400ppi 6x9 inch image before printing. That is you want to keep the file size the same but the image size larger. That is usually called resizing. If you change the file size it is usually called resampling. Best quality on that S800 would be from a 450 to 600 ppi image going by what I have seen on the PDML Printer Challenge.
