Using a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to control printing photos

You can connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer, and use the buttons on the camera to select and print photos.

1. Insert one end of the USB cable into the camera.

   Note: Use only the USB cable that came with the digital camera.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the PictBridge port on the front of the printer.

   

   Warning: Do not touch the USB cable, any network adapter, or the printer in the area shown while actively printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera. A loss of data can occur. Also, do not remove the USB cable or network adapter while actively printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera.

   

   Notes:

   • Make sure the PictBridge-enabled digital camera is set to the correct USB mode. For more information, see the camera documentation.
   • The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. If you insert more than one media device, a message appears on the display prompting you to designate the device you want the printer to recognize.
   • If you have a memory card inserted when you connect a PictBridge-enabled camera, an error message will be displayed telling the you to remove one of the devices.
   • If the PictBridge connection is successful, the following appears on the printer display: PictBridge camera detected. Press to change settings. If any other message appears, see Error messages.
   • Values selected within the menu items are the settings used for Pictbridge printing if no explicit selection is made from the camera.

3. Follow the instructions in the camera documentation to select and print photos.
