How to use the same EOS 30D to direct print

Solution

You do the direct printing procedure entirely through your camera's LCD monitor.

1 Select [Communication].
  • Turn the dial to select [c Communication], then press <SET>.

2 Select [Print/PC].

  • Turn the dial to select [Print/ PC], then press <SET>.
1 Turn the camera's switch to <OFF>.

2 Set up the printer.

  • For details, refer to the printer's manual.

3 Connect the camera to the printer.

  • See the "Printers and Cables" table below, and use the proper cable.

  • If the printer has a built-in USB cable, connect the camera to that cable.
  • When connecting the cable plug to the camera's <DIGITAL> terminal, the cable plug's <> icon must face the front side of the camera.
  • To connect to the printer, refer to the printer's instruction manual.

4 Turn on the printer.

5 Turn the camera's <> switch to <ON> or <>.

  • Some printers may have a beeping sound.

6 Playback the image.

  • Press the <> button.
  • The image and the printer icon <>, <>, or <> indicating a printer connection will be displayed.
  • The < > button lamp will light in blue.
  • The procedure will be different depending on the icon displayed.
  • RAW images are not compatible with direct printing.
  • If you use a battery to power the camera, make sure it is fully charged. During direct printing, keep checking the battery level.
  • If there is a long beeping sound in step 5, it indicates a problem with the PictBridge printer. To find out what's wrong, do the following:

Press the <> button to playback the image and follow the steps below.

1. Press <SET>.

2. On the print setting screen, select [Print].

The error message will be displayed on the LCD monitor. See "Error Messages" on page 138.

  • Before disconnecting the cable, turn off the camera and printer. Pull out the cable while holding the plug, not the cord.
  • When connecting the camera to the printer, do not use any cable other than the dedicated interface cable.
  • Do not disconnect the cable during direct printing.
