Description

How to print directly from the EOS Digital Rebel and EOS Digital Rebel XT.

Solution

You can specify the printing style (borders on/off, date on/off, etc.), print quantity, and image trimming.

You can set all the printing operations with the camera.

Images in the format cannot be printed directly from the camera.

1. Select the image to be printed.
  • Check that the <> or <> icon is displayed on the upper left of the LCD monitor.
  • Press the <> keys to select the image to be printed.
2. Press <>.
  • The print setting screen will appear.

- 3. Select [Style].
  • Set the desired settings for [Borders], [Date], and the BJ printer's paper size.
  • For the setting procedure, see 'Setting the Printing Style' on the next page.
4. Print the image.
  • Press the <> keys to select [PRINT], then press <>.
  • Printing will start.
  • When the printing is completed properly, the screen returns to step 1.

Setting the Printing Style

1. Select [Style].
  • Press the <> keys to select [Style], then press <>.
  • The [Style] setting menu will appear.
- 2. Select the style option.
  • Press the <> keys to select the option, then press <>.
  • The available settings will be displayed.

  • With BJ printers, [Paper] must be set to the paper size used.
  • With card photo printers, [Image] will appear instead of [Paper]. With the [Image] setting, you can print one image on one sheet or eight identical, smaller images on one sheet. This can be selected when postcard-size paper is used.
  • [Borders] and [Date] can be set in the same way with all printers.

- 3. Select the desired setting.
  • Press the <> keys to select the desired setting, then press <>.
  • The selected setting will take effect.
  • When you are done, press the <MENU> to return to the print setting screen.
If you set 'Bordered,' certain printers may print the date on the border. The date may be hard to see on a light background or on the border.
  • If [Date] is [On], the date recorded for the image will appear on the print.
  • The date will appear on the lower right of the image.
  • If you use a card photo printer and selected [Multiple], you will not be able to set [Borders] and [Date]. The print will be borderless without any date imprinted. The image will also be trimmed on all sides.

Setting the Quantity

Set the number of copies.
  • Press the <> keys to select [copies].
  • Press the <> keys to set the number of copies.
  • Set a number from 1 to 99.

Trimming an Image

You can trim the image and print only the trimmed portion. Before starting, you must first set the [Style] settings. If you change the [Style]/[Borders] after setting the trimming, the trimming setting will be lost.

1. Select [Trimming].
  • Press the <> keys to select [Trimming], then press <>.
  • The trimming screen will appear.
2. Trim the image.
  • The image area within the trimming frame will be printed.

Changing the trimming frame size

Press the <> or <> button to change the size of the trimming frame.

Moving the trimming frame

Press the cross keys to move the trimming frame in the respective direction.

Rotating the trimming frame

Press the <INFO.> button to rotate the trimming frame. The button toggles between the vertical and horizontal image orientation. For example, a horizontal shot can be printed as a vertical shot.

3. Exit the trimming.
  • Press the <> to return to the print setting screen.
  • If [Borderless] is set, certain printers might not print the trimmed image correctly.
  • The smaller the trimming frame, the rougher the image quality will be. If you use a card photo printer and the image quality would look rough due to trimming, the trimming frame will turn red.
  • If you set [Trimming] and then change the [Style]/[Borders] setting, the [Readjust trimming] message will appear. Set [Trimming] again or change back the [Borders] setting. Otherwise, the trimming will not take effect for the printed image.
  • When setting the [Trimming], look at the camera's LCD monitor. If you look at a TV monitor while trimming the image, the trimming frame may not appear correctly.
The [Trimming] setting will be canceled after the printing is completed or if you execute [Cancel].

Stopping the Printing

While [Stop] is displayed on the LCD monitor, press <>.
  • The printing will stop.
  • If the confirmation dialog appears, press the <> keys [OK], then press <>.
When Stopping the Printing

With a card photo printer:

If only one print is being printed, you cannot stop the printing. If multiple prints are being printed, the printing will stop after the current print is finished printing.

With a BJ printer:

The printing will stop and the paper being printed will be discharged.

Resolving Printing Errors

If an error occurs during printing, an error message will appear on the LCD monitor.

  • If [Resume] is displayed, correct the error, then select [Resume] and press <>. After you press <> and "Stop printing?" appears, select [Cancel] and press <>. The printing will resume. With certain printers, the printing may resume automatically.
  • If only [Stop] is displayed, press <>. After correcting the problem, start over again to print.
Note:

To print to a non-Canon Pictbridge compatible printer, ensure that the communication mode on the camera has been set to "PTP."
