Printing Photographs Directly from a Digital Camera

Printing Photographs Directly from a Digital Camera

Connecting a digital camera or digital video camcorder to the printer allows you to print captured images directly without using a computer. Use the USB cable that came with your digital camera to connect to the printer.

Notes z Use only a “PictBridge” or Canon “Bubble Jet Direct” compatible digital camera or digital video camcorder for printing directly.

zThis section describes how to operate a Canon “Bubble Jet Direct” compatible camera. For instructions on operating a “PictBridge” compliant camera, refer to Direct Printing from PictBridge-compatible Digital Camera.

zWhen you print directly from a digital camera, you need to operate the printer from the camera itself.

zYou are recommended to use mains power rather than the battery pack to power the camera when it is connected to a printer. If you do use a battery pack, ensure that it is fully charged.
