„Connecting a PictBridge Compliant Device

Caution

Do not connect any equipment other than PictBridge compliant devices to the Direct Print Port of the printer. If you do so, electric shock, fire, or damage to the device could result.

When printing photos with the digital device connected to the printer, we recommend the use of the AC adapter supplied with the device. If you are using the device battery, be sure to charge it fully.

Note

The Print Head cannot be aligned using the controls of the PictBridge compliant device. If Print Head alignment is not yet performed and the printer driver is not installed in the computer, be sure to align the Print Head as follows.

Make sure that the printer is on, and then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes green four times, and then release it immediately. The print head alignment pattern is printed, and the print head position is adjusted automatically.
