13 Printing photos from a camera

Printing photos directly from a PictBridge camera

Your Brother machine supports the PictBridge standard, allowing you to connect to and print photos directly from any PictBridge compatible digital camera.

If your camera is using the USB Mass Storage standard, you can also print photos from a digital camera without PictBridge. (See Printing photos directly from a digital camera (without PictBridge) on page 111.)

PictBridge requirements

To avoid errors, remember the following points:

„The machine and the digital camera must be connected using a suitable USB cable.

„The image file extension must be .JPG (other image file extensions like .JPEG,

.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).

„PhotoCapture Center® operations are not available when using the PictBridge feature.

Setting your digital camera

Make sure your camera is in PictBridge mode. The following PictBridge settings may be available from the LCD of your PictBridge compatible camera.

Depending on your camera some of these settings may not be available.
