Printing Photographs Directly from PictBridge (Wi-Fi) Compliant Device

You can connect a PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device such as a digital camera, camcorder, or camera-equipped mobile phone to the printer via Wi-Fi, and print recorded images directly without using a computer.
 

Connectable devices:

PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device
 

Printable image data format:

The printer accepts images* taken with a camera compliant with the Design rule for Camera File system and PNG files.

* Exif 2.2/2.21/2.3 compliant


 Important

  • A Wi-Fi connection with the printer is required to use this function.


 Note

  • PictBridge is the standard to print your photos directly without using a computer, connecting a device such as a digital still camera, digital camcorder, or camera-equipped mobile phone.

    PictBridge printing with the Wi-Fi connection is referred to as "PictBridge (Wi-Fi)."

  • When printing photos with the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device connected to the printer, we recommend the use of the AC adapter supplied with the device. If you are using the device battery, be sure to charge it fully.

  • Depending on the model or brand of your device, you may have to select a print mode compliant with PictBridge (Wi-Fi) before connecting the device. You may also have to turn on the device or select Play mode manually after connecting the device to the printer.

    Perform the necessary operations on the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device before connecting it to this printer according to the instructions given in the device's instruction manual.

 

  1. Check that the printer is turned on.
     

  2. Load paper in the cassette or the rear tray.
     

  3. Connect the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device to printer.

    Detect the printer with the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device and connect the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device to the printer over the wireless network.


     Note

    • For more on detecting the printer, refer to your PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device's instruction manual.
       

  4. Specify print settings such as paper type and layout.

    Use your PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device to select the same size and type of paper as is loaded in the printer.
     


    If your PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device does not have a setting menu, change the setting from the printer.
     


     Note

    • When printing from the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device, set the print quality with the operation panel on the printer. You cannot set the print quality on the PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device.
       

  5. Start printing from your PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device.
