Solution
CONNECTING TO A CANON BJ PRINTER
To connect the camera and printer with the necessary cable, refer to the manuals that came with the printer.
Turn the camera's <> switch to <ON>, then press the <> button.
Turn on the printer.
|
- When disconnecting the cable from the camera's <DIGITAL> terminal, be sure to grasp the plug instead of the cord to pull it out.
- Do not use any cable other than the dedicated interface cable to connect the camera and printer.
-
To disconnect the cable from the camera and printer, follow the procedure below:
- 1. Turn off the camera.
- 2. Disconnect the cable from the printer.
- 3. Disconnect the cable from the camera.
- When you disconnect the camera from the printer, the <> icon or <> icon will disappear from the camera's LCD monitor and the camera will return to normal playback.
- Even while the camera is connected to the printer, you can instantly switch to shooting by pressing the shutter button halfway (except during actual printing).
PRINTING
You do all the printing operations with the camera.
|
Select the image to be printed.
Press <SET>.
Set the printing options.
Print the image.
While [Stop] is displayed on the LCD monitor, press <SET>.
|
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, the error message will be displayed on the LCD monitor. Turn the <> dial to select [Stop]/[Resume], then press <SET>.
With a card photo printer:
- Depending on the error, [Resume] might not be displayed. In this case, select [Stop].
With a BJ printer:
- Depending on the error, either [Resume] or [Stop] will be displayed. The error number will be displayed on the BJ printer's operation panel. Refer to the BJ printer's manual to see the error number description and resolve the error. When the error is resolved, the BJ printer will resume printing automatically.
If the camera is connected to the printer and you do not operate it for approx. 6 minutes, the camera power will turn off automatically. However, if the auto power off time is longer than 8 minutes, then that setting will take effect instead.
- RAW images cannot be printed directly.
- Images taken with [Adobe RGB] set as the color space will have low color saturation when printed directly from the camera with a BJ printer.
PRINTING OPTIONS
For direct printing, you can set the number of copies, the printing style, and the printing area (trimming).
On the direct printing screen, turn the <> dial to select [copies], then press <SET>.
Set the number of copies.
|
SETTING THE PRINTING STYLE
The available [Style] settings will differ depending on the type of printer connected to the camera.
On the direct printing screen, select [Style].
Select the style setting.
Set the style setting.
|
Exit the style setting screen.
|
If you select [Multiple], [Borders] will be set to [Borderless] and [Date] will be [Off].
- If you select [Multiple], part of the image will be cut off vertically and horizontally when printed.
- If you select [Bordered], almost all of the image area (as displayed on the LCD monitor) will be printed. The printing area frame will not be displayed.
TRIMMING
On the printing style screen, select [Trimming].
Trim the image.
Rotating the trimming frame
Exit the trimming screen.
|
- When a BJ printer is connected to the camera, the color of the trimming frame will not change regardless of the trimming frame size (magnification).
- If you have set [Trimming] and then change the [Style] ([Image], [Borders]), the [Readjust trimming] message will appear on the LCD monitor. Set [Trimming] again or reset the [Style] settings.
-
The [Trimming] setting will be canceled if you do any of the following:
- Press the < > button to quit the [Trimming] setting.
- Set [Trimming] for another image.
- Exit from direct printing.
- (Turn the < > switch to < > or press the shutter button halfway.)
- Change the trimming frame to a size bigger than the maximum size.
- When setting [Trimming], use the camera's LCD monitor. If you use a TV monitor connected to the camera with a video cable, the trimming frame may not display correctly.
