How to print photographs directly from a digital camera

Connecting a PictBridge compliant device such as a digital camera, digital video camera or camera-equipped mobile phone (hereafter, they are collectively called a camera.) to the machine allows you to print recorded images directly without using a computer.
You will find the following logo on your camera or its manual if it is compliant with PictBridge.

How to connect a camera

1. Ensuring that the machine is powered on, pull down the paper output tray.

2. Load paper in the rear tray.


3. Ensure that the camera is turned off.


4. Connect the camera to the machine using the USB cable (for connection to a computer) supplied with the camera.

Note : Depending on the camera model/brand, you may have to select a print mode compliant with PictBridge before connecting it to the machine. (For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your camera.)


5. Turn on the camera and set it to a replay mode.

Note : Some types of cameras turn on automatically when connected to the machine.


How to print

The following are instructions on Canon cameras. The setting menu below may differ depending on the model or brand of the camera. (For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your camera.)

1. Ensure that the following icon appears on the LCD display of the camera when the machine is correctly connected.
Meanwhile, "CAMERA DIRECT." is displayed on the LCD of the machine.

Note : If the icon is not displayed, turn off the camera and disconnect the USB cable. After connecting the USB cable securely, turn on the camera again.

2. Display the images you wish to print using the camera's buttons.


3. Press the <SET> button to display the setting menu.
