Description

This article explains how you can print a saved item from a cloud service using the operation panel of your printer.

Solution

Your printer can be used in conjunction with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center. This allows you to print items that you have stored on various cloud services such as Google Drive and Dropbox. You can also scan documents and photos to certain cloud services as well. To print documents or photos from a cloud service, follow the steps below.

Note

This article assumes that you already have your printer registered with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center. If your printer is not registered with this service, click here. Click Create new account, then click About printer registration ID. Follow the instructions provided to register your printer with the Inkjet Cloud Printing Center.
Depending on your model, you will either need to tap the options shown on the screen, or you will need to use the arrow keys, the OK button, and the Function buttons under the screen. Individual models' screens may vary in appearance.
This article will use Dropbox as an example.

From the HOME screen on your printer, select Cloud.

Tapping Go to app list will take you back to the Cloud screen.
To log out, go back to the main menu of the cloud service that you have logged into. Here, select Exit.
Select Clear and exit. This will sign you out of the cloud service that you logged into. You will then be taken back to the Cloud screen.
