Printing photos from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera

PictBridge is a technology available in most digital cameras that lets you print directly from your digital camera without using a computer. You can connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer, and use the camera to control printing photos.

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

   Note:

   Use only the USB cable that came with the camera.

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

   

   Notes:

   • Make sure the PictBridge-enabled digital camera is set to the correct USB mode. If the camera USB selection is incorrect, the camera will be detected as a USB storage device, or an error message will be displayed on the control panel of the printer. For more information, see the camera documentation.
   • The printer reads only one media device at a time.

   Warning—Potential Damage:

   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.

   

3. If the PictBridge connection is successful, the following message appears on the display: Camera Connected. Refer to Camera display or Camera owners manual for further information.

   After a few seconds, the following message appears: Use Camera to choose and print photos. Press to select printer default settings.

4. To use the camera to control printing photos, see the instructions in the camera documentation.

   Press on the control panel to specify the PictBridge default print settings, which are used if no selections are made on the camera.
