How to connect the EOS Digital Rebel XS to a printer

Solution

Preparing to Print

You do the direct printing procedure entirely with your camera while you look at the LCD monitor.


1 Set the camera's power switch to <OFF>.

2 Set up the printer.

  • For details, see the printer's instruction manual.

3 Connect the camera to the printer.

  • Use the interface cable that came with the camera.
  • When connecting the cable plug to the camera's <> 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 Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

  • Some printers may make a beeping sound.

6 Playback the image.

  • Press the <> button.
  • The image will appear, and the <> icon will appear on the upper left to indicate that the camera is connected to a printer.
  • The <> button lamp will light in blue.
  • RAW images are not compatible with direct printing.
  • The camera cannot be used with printers compatible only with CP Direct or Bubble Jet Direct.
  • When connecting the camera to the printer, do not use any cable other than the interface cable provided.
  • If there is a long beeping sound in step 5, it indicates a problem with the printer. To find out what's wrong, do the following:

1. Press the <> button to playback the image.

2. Press <>.

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

The error message will be displayed on the LCD monitor

  • If you use the battery to power the camera, make sure it is fully charged. With a fully charged battery, printing up to about 6 hours is possible.
  • Before disconnecting the cable, turn off the camera and printer first. Hold the plug (not the cord) to pull out the cable.
  • For direct printing, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E5 (sold separately) to power the camera is recommended.
