Cannot Print Properly from the Digital Camera
The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a digital still camera or digital video camcorder*, and the countermeasures to eliminate them.
*Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively called a digital camera or camera.
note
•PictBridge or Canon Bubble Jet Direct compatible digital cameras can be connected to your printer for direct printing.
•This section describes errors that are indicated on
For errors on
•Connecting a digital camera not compatible with “PictBridge” or “Bubble Jet Direct” makes the POWER lamp on your printer flash nine times. In such a case, unplug the cable connecting the camera to the printer, press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer.
•A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such a case, disconnect the cable between the printer and the camera, press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer, and reconnect the cable between the printer and the camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the problem is still unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be printed or not.
•The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect.
See “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 55.
•If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that you are using the correct type of paper.
If printed surface is scratched even if the appropriate media type is used, set the paper thickness lever on the left. See “Printing Maintenance” on page 55.
•For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the user’s manual of the camera. For other troubles on the digital camera, contact the manufacturer.
